And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.
Le dijeron al rey Salomón que Joab había huido al tabernáculo del Señor y estaba junto al altar. Entonces Salomón envió a Benaías, hijo de Joiada, con esta orden: 'Ve y mátalo.'
Salomón ordenó ejecutar a Joab aunque este buscó refugio en el altar del Señor.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative, King Solomon had just ascended to the throne after King David's death and was consolidating his power by addressing threats from supporters of his rival, Adonijah. Joab, who had been David's loyal military commander, had backed Adonijah and fled to the tabernacle of the Lord for sanctuary, a cultural practice in ancient Israel where the altar was seen as a place of refuge from pursuers. However, Solomon's decision to send Benaiah to execute Joab reflects the harsh realities of political transitions in the ancient Near East, where mercy was often secondary to establishing stable rule.
