2 Samuel 20:7

2 Samuel 20:7 -

There went out after him— that is, under Abishai's command— Joab's men. The men who formed his regular attendants, and to whose number belonged the ten armour bearers who slew Absalom ( 2 Samuel 18:15 ). Joab retained their command, and probably they would not have served under any other person. It is evident from the enumeration in this verse that the "men of Judah," after escorting David to Jerusalem, had all dispersed to their own homes.
