2 Samuel 12:26 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 12:26

And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon
Of his being sent against it, and of his besieging it, we read in ( 2 Samuel 11:1 ) ; but it can hardly be thought that he had been so long besieging it, as that David had two children by Bathsheba; but the account of the finishing of it is placed here, that the story concerning Bathsheba might lie together without any interruption:

and took the royal city;
or that part of it in which the king's palace was, and which, as Abarbinel observes, was without the city, as the palaces of kings now usually are.

2 Samuel 12:26 In-Context

24 Então consolou Davi a Bate-Seba, sua mulher, e entrou, e se deitou com ela. E teve ela um filho, e Davi lhe deu o nome de Salomão. E o Senhor o amou;

25 e mandou, por intermédio do profeta Natã, dar-lhe o nome de Jedidias, por amor do Senhor.

26 Ora, pelejou Joabe contra Rabá, dos amonitas, e tomou a cidade real.

27 Então mandou Joabe mensageiros a Davi, e disse: Pelejei contra Rabá, e já tomei a cidade das águas.

28 Ajunta, pois, agora o resto do povo, acampa contra a cidade e toma-a, para que eu não a tome e seja o meu nome aclamado sobre ela.
