David wins Rabbah

²⁶ At this time, Joab was attacking Rabbah, the Ammonite city. He had taken from the enemy the king's strong place in the city. ²⁷ Joab sent men to take this message to David: ‘I have attacked Rabbah. Now I have taken the place that holds the city's water. ²⁸ So you should bring the other soldiers of our army to make their camp here. Then you can attack the city and you can take it for us. If you do not do that, I will take the city myself. Then the city will have my name instead of yours.’
