2 Samuel 12:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ And Joab sent messengers to David, saying: I have fought against Rabbath, and the city of waters is about to be taken.

²⁸ Now therefore gather thou the rest of the people together, and besiege the city and take it: lest when the city shall be wasted by me, the victory be ascribed to my name.

²⁹ Then David gathered all the people together, and went out against Rabbath: and after fighting, he took it.
