International Children’s Bible

David Captures Rabbah

²⁶ Now Joab fought against Rabbah, a city of the Ammonites. And he was about to capture the royal city. ²⁷ Joab sent messengers to David and said, “I have fought against Rabbah. I have captured its water supply. ²⁸ Now bring the other soldiers together and attack this city. Capture it before I capture it myself. If I capture this city, it will be called by my name!”
