26. Joab fought against Rabbah, a royal city of the Ammonites, and he was about to capture it.
27. Joab sent messengers to David and said, “I have fought against Rabbah and have captured its water supply.
28. Now bring the other soldiers together and attack this city. Capture it before I capture it myself and it is called by my name!”
29. So David gathered all the army and went to Rabbah and fought against it and captured it.
