Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto [his] house,…. Provoked at what he had done, and to know the reason of it; and which was answering Absalom’s end:

2Sa 14:31 Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto [his] house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?
Ver. 31. Then Joab arose. ] Then he came speedily. Affliction hath whipped many a soul to heaven, whom, otherwise, prosperity had coached to hell. When God’s people leave this world they go to God; and when the world leaveth them, that is, when crosses come, they do the like; they arise and go to him. Hos 6:1

2Sa 14:31. Joab arose and came to Absalom It may seem strange that so furious a man as Joab should not immediately revenge himself by ordering Absaloms fields to be burned, or in some such way; but he was so wise as to consider, that, being the kings son, Absalom might, some time or other, be reconciled to his father, and do him a prejudice. He therefore concealed his resentment, and only expostulated with him on the injury done him.
