## translationNotes

* King Solomon explains why Joab should die.
* **May Yahweh return his blood on his own head** - The word "his" refers to Joab. "Blood" refers to guilt. (See: [[:en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_metonymy]])
* **more righteous and better** - Both words are used for emphasis. (See: [[:en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_doublet]])
* **the head of Joab and his descendants** - This is using "head" to describe the whole person. (See: [[:en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_metonymy]])
* **and to his house and to his throne** - Here "house" and "throne" represent David's "descendants" and David's "rule." (See: [[:en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_metonymy]])
