2 Samuel 12:26-30

Joab Fights Ammon

26 ^aThen Joab fought against ^bRabbah of the sons of Ammon and captured the royal city. 27 And Joab sent messengers to David and said, “I have fought against Rabbah, I have even captured the city of waters. 28 So now, gather the rest of the people together and camp against the city and capture it, lest I capture the city myself and it be named after me.” 29 So David gathered all the people and went to Rabbah, fought against it and captured it. 30 Then ^ahe took the crown of ¹their king from his head; and its weight was a ²talent of gold, and in it ³was a precious stone; and it was placed on David’s head. And he brought out the spoil of the city in a very great amount.
