And it cometh
to pass, at
the
time
of
the
turn
of
the year --
at the time of
the
going
out
of
the
messengers
--
that Joab
leadeth
out the force
of the host
, and destroyeth
the land
of the sons
of Ammon, and cometh
in
and beseigeth
Rabbah --
David is
abiding
in
Jerusalem --
and Joab smiteth
Rabbah, and breaketh
it down
.
And it came
to pass, that
after
the year was
expired,
at the time that kings
go
out to
battle,
Joab
led
forth
the power
of the army
, and wasted
the country
of the children
of Ammon, and came
and besieged
Rabbah .
But
David tarried
at
Jerusalem .
And Joab smote
Rabbah, and destroyed
it.
