ગુજરાતી1 રાજાઓ ૨:૨૮
યોઆબને એ સમાચાર મળ્યા, કેમ કે યોઆબે અદોનિયાનાનો પક્ષ લીધો, પણ તેણે આબ્શાલોમનો પક્ષ લીધો ન હતો. તેથી યોઆબે યહોવાહના મંડપમાં નાસી જઈને વેદીના શિંગ પકડ્યાં.
हिन्दी1 राजाओं २:२८
इसका समाचार योआब तक पहुँचा; योआब अबशालोम के पीछे तो नहीं हो लिया था, परन्तु अदोनिय्याह के पीछे हो लिया था। तब योआब यहोवा के तम्बू को भाग गया, और वेदी के सींगों को पकड़ लिया।

In context

26To Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your own fields, for you are worthy of death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you bore the Lord GOD’s ark before David my father, and because you were afflicted in all in which my father was afflicted.”

27So Solomon thrust Abiathar out from being priest to the LORD, that he might fulfill the LORD’s word which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

28This news came to Joab; for Joab had followed Adonijah, although he didn’t follow Absalom. Joab fled to the LORD’s Tent, and held onto the horns of the altar.

29King Solomon was told, “Joab has fled to the LORD’s Tent; and behold, he is by the altar.” Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, fall on him.”

30Benaiah came to the LORD’s Tent, and said to him, “The king says, ‘Come out!’” He said, “No; but I will die here.” Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, “This is what Joab said, and this is how he answered me.”
