2 Samuel 3:24 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? Upon hearing what had passed, he immediately went to David, in the pride of his success, and of the great spoil he had taken, to expostulate with him upon the folly of receiving Abner in the manner he had done, and placing any confidence in a man who, he signified, had come thither only to betray him. This presumption and insolence David was constrained to endure, because of Joab's great power with the army and military men.
