2 Samuel 12:26-29

Christian Standard Bible

Capture of the City of Rabbah

²⁶ Joab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites^(A) and captured the royal fortress. ²⁷ Then Joab sent messengers to David to say, “I have fought against Rabbah and have also captured its water supply. ²⁸ Now therefore, assemble the rest of the troops, lay siege to the city, and capture it. Otherwise I will be the one to capture the city, and it will be named after me.” ²⁹ So David assembled all the troops and went to Rabbah; he fought against it and captured it.
