Here Solomon speaks as if Yahweh will take the blood that Joab shed when he murdered people and return that blood onto Joab’s head. He means that Yahweh will punish Joab in a way that fits with the murders he committed.

Alternate translation: “And Yahweh will repay him for the blood that he has shed” or “And Yahweh will punish him for the murders he committed”

וְאָבִ֥י דָוִ֖ד לֹ֣א יָדָ֑ע
