Joab Executed

²⁸ Now the news came to Joab, ^(B)for Joab had followed Adonijah, ^(C)although he had not followed Absalom. And Joab fled to the tent of the Lord and ^(D)took hold of the horns of the altar. ²⁹ It was told King Solomon that Joab had fled to the tent of the Lord, and behold, he is beside the altar. Then Solomon ^(E)sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, “^(F)Go, fall upon him.”
