Adonai and Shame, the Son of Gera, the Benjaminite From Baharim

David's nephew Joab was just about as loyal to him as you can get. David swore at that time he would not put Shame to death for cursing him while fleeing from Absalom. Joe, the brother who always wants to cut people's heads off, wanted to go chop Shame's head off. So okay, David swore I'm not going to kill you. Swore by the Lord. Now therefore, therefore, this is a logical conclusion.
