Dr. Nechama Priceתאריך פרסום: תשפ”ה | | שעה ו- 1 דקות
The lecture presents a comprehensive discussion of the complex character of Joab ben Zeruiah, King David’s army commander, as described in various biblical sources. The lecture examines the contradictory descriptions of Joab in the books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles, and emphasizes how each book presents him in a different light – sometimes as a negative and violent character, and sometimes as a loyal and protective hero. Ultimately, the lecture invites to grapple with the complexity of the character and the challenge of judging his actions.
