1 Kings 2:34
"So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up,.... To Gibeon, which was a great high place, Kg1 3:4 ; and fell upon him, and slew him; at the altar; or,

dragging him from it at some distance, drew his sword and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness; not in his dwelling house strictly taken, but in a garden or field adjoining to it, which house in the wilderness; not a waste place uninhabited; for, as Kimchi observes, this word sometimes signifies a place uninhabited, though not tilled, but left for pasture of cattle; and in such a place might Joab's house be, at least his country house, where he might have a farm, and fields, and cattle, as it is plain he had, Sa2 14:30 .
