2 Samuel 12:26-28 ▼

26 Meanwhile, Joab (YHWH is father) fought against Rabbah (great) of the Ammonites (tribal) and captured the royal fortress.

27 Then Joab (YHWH is father) sent messengers to David (beloved) to say, “I have fought against Rabbah (great) and have captured the water supply of the city (and have captured the city of waters).

28 Now, therefore, assemble the rest of the troops, lay siege to the city, and capture it. Otherwise I will capture the city, and it will be named after me.”
