In spite of what Joab said, the king’s order had more authority than Joab’s reply did. So Joab left and went all through Israel. Then he came back to Jerusalem.

Joab replied to the king,“ May the LORD your God make the army a hundred times larger right before the eyes of my lord the king! But why does my master the king want to do this?”But the king’s edict stood, despite the objections of Joab and the leaders of the army. So Joab and the leaders of the army left the king’s presence in order to muster the Israelite army.They crossed the Jordan and camped at Aroer, on the south side of the city, at the wadi of Gad, near Jazer.Then they went on to Gilead and to the region of Tahtim Hodshi, coming to Dan Jaan and on around to Sidon.Then they went to the fortress of Tyre and all the cities of the Hivites and the Canaanites. Then they went on to the Negev of Judah, to Beer Sheba.They went through all the land and after nine months and twenty days came back to Jerusalem.
