1 N a primavera seguinte, na época em que os reis saem à guerra, Joabe conduziu o seu exército até a terra dos amonitas e a arrasou. Enquanto Davi ainda estava em Jerusalém, Joabe cercou Rabá, a capital, atacou-a e deixou-a em ruínas.

Then it happened in the spring, at the time when kings go out to battle, that Joab led out the army and ravaged the land of the sons of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabbah and overthrew it.

He brought out the people who were in it, and cut them with saws and with sharp instruments and with axes. And thus David did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

And there was war with the Philistines again, and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
