Footnotes
- 58 Heb “turned after” (also later in this verse).
- 59 Heb “Joab.” The proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.
- 60 Grabbed hold of the horns of the altar. The “horns” of the altar were the horn-shaped projections on the four corners of the altar (see Exod 27:2). By going to the holy place and grabbing hold of the horns of the altar, Joab was seeking asylum from Solomon.
