When Joab realized his army was under threat on both sides and they were trapped between two enemies, he divided the troops so they could meet their enemies head-on. Then, he encouraged his brother by saying, “Be of good courage and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. And may the Lord do what is good in His sight.” He understood the threat and knew that they could be killed. But they couldn’t let that deter them from doing what needed to be done. They couldn’t act according to the outcome, because they did not know what that would be. God would do what He thought was right and they just needed to be strong and fight.

He wanted everyone to remember their first king as a mighty warrior who had been good for the country.

Though Saul wanted to please God, that never appeared to be his first thought. His first thought always seemed to be for himself. He was always trying to protect, elevate, or gratify himself while also pleasing the Lord. So, God’s ways and will were an afterthought. Then when he didn’t please God, he seemed sad and full of regret. But it never changed what he did moving forward. He wanted favor from God and man while simultaneously refusing to do what it took to please them.
