Joab, a prominent figure in biblical history, is known for his strategic military prowess and loyalty to King David. His actions are depicted in various engravings and paintings throughout history. One such engraving portrays Joab killing Amasa, a rival commander. This act showcases Joab's ruthlessness and determination on the battlefield. Another engraving depicts David instructing Joab to number the people, an event that ultimately led to disastrous consequences for Israel. In a letter from David to Joab, their close relationship is evident. It highlights the trust and reliance placed upon Joab by the king. The engraving himself captures his strong presence and commanding demeanor. The death of Absalom is another significant event involving Joab. Absalom, David's rebellious son, met his demise during battle when he was thrown from his horse after getting caught in a tree branch. It was Joab who delivered this fatal blow, ending Absalom's rebellion against his father. Augustin Hirschvogel's creations further depict pivotal moments involving Joab. "Absalom Slain by Joab" showcases the climactic scene where Absalom meets his fate at the hands of this skilled warrior. Similarly, "Joab Betrays Abner" illustrates another instance where Joab displays cunning tactics on the battlefield. The famous lamentation of David upon hearing about Absalom's death echoes through time as a testament to their complex father-son relationship. Additionally, there are references to places associated with Joab like En Rogel well in Jerusalem which adds historical context to these events.
