Exegesis

The verse uses the conjunction veyo’av {וְיוֹאָב | və-yō-’ā-ḇ} to introduce Joab as the new subject, followed by the prepositional phrase el kol-ha-tsava yisra’el {אֶל־כָּל־הַצָּבָא יִשְׂרָאֵל | ʾel kol-hā-ṣā-ḇāʾ yiś-rā-’ēl} denoting his authority over the army.

In context — 2 Samuel 20:23

And Joab was over all the army of Israel, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Kerethites and over the Pelethites.
