Joab Isn't Listed (2 Sam. ch. 23)

In this list of great warriors and impressive accomplishments I find it interesting Joab himself is not mentioned except in the phrase, "brother of Joab."

Loyalty and passion (That was his track record.) don't make you great. At some point you have to do something -- take a risk, seize a challenge and overcome, exceed the ordinary, demonstrate determination and control. You need more than a title or position. Competence without character leaves you without a positive legacy.
