Though at all times a staunch supporter of the king, Joab, by his violence, inspired no love in his master, who on his deathbed made arrangements for Joab's execution.
Identify Joab
Joab first began to follow David during his flight from Saul. After Saul's death Joab fought inconclusively against Abner, general of the forces of Ish-bosheth, who killed Asahel in a skirmish. Abner's decision to join David's side led Joab to have him murdered both to eliminate a rival for his post, and to avenge his brother's death. When David was king of both Israel and Judah, Joab led his forces in various successful military enterprises: he fought against the Ammonites and their Syrian allies (in which war, at the siege of Rabbah, he arranged the death of Uriah, on David's orders); after the murder of Amnon, Joab reconciled Absalom to his father, but when Absalom rebelled Joab defeated his army and later had the rebel son killed, for which David probably never forgave him. David then transferred the command of his armies to Amasa, but the delay of Joab's successor in quelling Sheba's revolt prompted David to recall Joab. He killed Amasa and duly crushed Sheba's uprising. On his death-bed, David, remembering Joab's various murders, advised Solomon to deal suitably with him. On Solomon’s orders, Benaiah killed Joab

As he fled the battlefield Absalom was caught by his head in the branches of a tree, and killed by Joab
