26. And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city. 27. And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters. 28. Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name. 29. And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.

Theological / Devotional

Against Rabbah. The account of Joab’s siege of Rabbah (ch. 11:1) had been interrupted by the account of David’s experience with Bath-sheba. Now the account of the siege of Ammon’s capital city is resumed. The narrative of David’s adultery with Bath-sheba and the murder of Uriah (2 Sam. 11:2 to 12:25) is not in Chronicles.
