2 Samuel 12:28

Listen to 2 Samuel 12:28
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.

2 Samuel 12:28 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 12:28

Now therefore gather the rest of the people together
The rest of the soldiers in the land of Israel, and come to Rabbah:

and encamp against the city;
invest it in form:

and take it;
upon a surrender or by storm; for it could not hold out long:

lest I take the city, and it be called after my name;
so great a regard had Joab, though an ambitious man, to the fame and credit of David his king: so Craterus F1 at the siege of Artacacna, being prepared to take it, waited the coming of Alexander, that he might have the honour of it.

2 Samuel 12:28 In-Context

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.
29 Então Davi ajuntou todo o povo, e marchou para Rabá; pelejou contra ela, e a tomou.
30 Também tirou a coroa da cabeça do seu rei; e o peso dela era de um talento de ouro e havia nela uma pedra preciosa; e foi posta sobre a cabeça de Davi, que levou da cidade mui grande despojo.
