Now

"Now" marks a break in the main story line. This new section gives background information about the men who served King David. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/writing-background)

Joab was over ... Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over

The phrase "was over" refers to having authority over a group of people. Alternate translation: "Joab had authority over ... Benaiah son of Jehoiada had authority over" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom)
