Joab’s Execution
28 The news reached Joab. Since he had supported Adonijah(A) but not Absalom,(B) Joab fled to the Lord’s tabernacle and took hold of the horns of the altar.(C)
29 It was reported to King Solomon: “Joab has fled to the Lord’s tabernacle and is now beside the altar.” Then Solomon sent[a] Benaiah son of Jehoiada(D) and told him, “Go and strike him down!”(E)

But Joab said, “No, for I will die here.”
So Benaiah took a message back to the king, “This is what Joab said, and this is how he answered me.”
