Geographically equal accessibility for all the tribes. Defensibility, by having to go through the land to get to it.

Location, location, location. Easier to travel to, from farthest parts of Israel.

Given that attacking via the outside city walls was not a realistic option, I cannot help but think that as a military commander, Joab was very well aware of the dangers. I’m sure he was aware of the danger in fighting in such a confined space and concerned for the safety of his men. But, he was committed to the goal and, as mentioned by some of the comments below, he was obeying his King and his God. So, he moved forward with the conquest.

I think he and his team went in there with tripedation. as the tunnel is narrow and not sure whether they will be discovered and being slaughtered in the tunnels. But as they called on the Lord God , His peace and presence were with them. They were assured that the Lord is their deliverer and with total trust in Him to deliver the city of Jebus to them.

I think he would have felt very unsure of this place but put his faith in God.
