And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.

King Solomon was informed that Joab had run to the LORD's shelter and was now near the altar. So, Solomon ordered Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, to go and attack him.
