At ang balita ay umabot kay Joab — sapagkat si Joab ay pumanig kay Adonias, bagaman kay Absalom ay hindi siya pumanig. At tumakas si Joab patungo sa Tolda ng Walang-Hanggan, at kumapit sa mga sungay ng altar.
Rashi
And the report reached Yoav. The report of Dovid’s charge, that he had commanded to kill him, and he knew that Shlomo hated him.17That is why Yoav feared for his life. Alternatively, he heard of Adoniyahu’s death and of Evyosor’s banishment.—Radak
Rashi
