What do you think Joab experienced as he fought in the water tunnels to take the city of Jerusalem?

I imagine Joan and his army would have been constantly on edge and prepared to fight. The prayers would have been constant!

The tunnels were dark, damp and narrow. Joab and his men could easily slip, or if they gave their presence away and the Jebusites attacked them there, they could easily have been trapped in the narrow tunnel. Joab probably experienced anxiety, but the fact that he overcame it demonstrated his loyalty to David and his faith in God as well.

I believe that Joab felt a sense of uncertainty and a bit of fear as he fought in the tunnels beneath the city of Jerusalem. Yet, he experienced a great sense of confident urgency and a strong sense of purpose as well. Joab was on a divine mission for God and the completion of his task outweighed any trepidation and apprehension he may have been feeling as he fought. He knew that Jehovah God was on his side and he could not fail.

Fear, excitement, anticipation of meeting the enemy in the dark. It was a bold move to attack from within, but assurance that God was with them.

Joab was a skilled warrior. While he may have felt some anxiety, I think he was more thrilled at the adventure. The adrenaline of it all is what kept him going. This experience would have enhanced his skills and given him more fighting experience.
