THE HOLY BIBLE Douay-Rheims

Notes on Third Book of Kings (Author Bishop Richard Challoner (ed.))

2:5 Joab: These instructions given by David to his son, with relation to Joab and Semei, proceeded not from any rancour of heart, or private pique; but from a zeal for justice, that crimes so public and heinous might not pass unpunished.
