the armourbearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah
on 1 Chronicles 11:39-41
Naharai carries Joab's armor, and the text never once places Joab's own name in any of the three catalogues of honor, his rank as commander already set above the classes they list. The roll's last parallel name is Uriah the Hittite, whose wife and death fill 2 Sam 11 in ugly detail; Chronicles, which omits David's sin with Bathsheba entirely, still cannot omit Uriah from the honor he earned among the mighty men. The silence around what became of him is the same selective hand that shapes the whole book, working here on a single name inside a list.

3 Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the L ORD ; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the L ORD by Samuel. 4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.
