2 Samuel 12:26-28

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

The Ammonites Crushed

²⁶ Now Jo′ab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites, and took the royal city. ²⁷ And Jo′ab sent messengers to David, and said, “I have fought against Rabbah; moreover, I have taken the city of waters. ²⁸ Now, then, gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called by my name.”
