26. And Joab fighteth against Rabbah of the Bene-Ammon, and captureth the royal city,
27. and Joab sendeth messengers unto David, and saith, `I have fought against Rabbah--also I have captured the city of waters;
28. and now, gather the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, and capture it, lest I capture the city, and my name hath been called upon it.'
29. And David gathereth all the people, and goeth to Rabbah, and fighteth against it, and captureth it;
30. and he taketh the crown of their king from off his head, and its weight [is] a talent of gold, and precious stones, and it is on the head of David; and the spoil of the city he hath brought out, very much;
31. and the people who [are] in it he hath brought out, and setteth to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes of iron, and hath caused them to pass over into the brickkiln; and so he doth to all the cities of the Bene-Ammon;and David turneth back, and all the people, to Jerusalem.
