- Venit autem nuntius ad Joab, quod Joab declinasset post Adoniam, et post Salomonem non declinasset : fugit ergo Joab in tabernaculum Domini, et apprehendit cornu altaris.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ ἡ ἀκοὴ ἦλθεν ἕως Ἰωὰβ τοῦ υἱοῦ Σαρουίας, ὅτι Ἰωὰβ ἦν κεκλικὼς ὀπίσω Ἀδωνειά, καὶ ὀπίσω Ἀβεσσαλὼμ οὐκ ἔκλινεν· καὶ ἔφυγεν Ἰωὰβ εἰς τὸ σκήνωμα τοῦ κυρίου καὶ κατέσχεν τῶν κεράτων τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου.

Haydock's commentary
Joab. The Latin manuscripts, except one, and almost all the ancient editions of Sixtus, &c., read Solomon. "And a messenger came to Solomon that Joab," &c.
Solomon. Hebrew, Absalom. Septuagint vary. The difference is of little consequence. (Calmet)
