Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Samuel 20:11-13

_ _ He that favoureth Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab — It is a striking proof of Joab’s unrivalled influence over the army, that with this villainous murder perpetrated before their eyes they unanimously followed him as their leader in pursuit of Sheba. A soldier conjoined his name with David’s, and such a magic spell was in the word “Joab,” that all the people “went on” — Amasa’s men as well as the rest. The conjunction of these two names is very significant. It shows that the one could not afford to do without the other — neither Joab to rebel against David, nor David to get rid of Joab, though hating him.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Samuel 20:4-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Samuel 20:11

One — Left there on purpose to deliver the following message. Favoureth Joab — He that would have Joab to be general, rather than such a perfidious rebel as Amasa. For David — He that wisheth David good success against Sheba, and against all rebels.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

2 Samuel 20:11

And one of Joab's men (h) stood by him, and said, He that favoureth Joab, and he that [is] for David, [let him go] after Joab.

(h) He stood by Amasa at Joab's appointment.
