2 Samuel 12:28

Listen to 2 Samuel 12:28
28 rassemble maintenant le reste du peuple, campe contre la ville, et prends-la, de peur que je ne la prenne moi-mĂȘme et que la gloire ne m'en soit attribuĂ©e.

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 Joab, qui assiégeait Rabba des fils d'Ammon, s'empara de la ville royale,
27 et envoya des messagers à David pour lui dire: J'ai attaqué Rabba, et je me suis déjà emparé de la ville des eaux;
28 rassemble maintenant le reste du peuple, campe contre la ville, et prends-la, de peur que je ne la prenne moi-mĂȘme et que la gloire ne m'en soit attribuĂ©e.
29 David rassembla tout le peuple, et marcha sur Rabba; il l'attaqua, et s'en rendit maĂźtre.
30 Il enleva la couronne de dessus la tĂȘte de son roi: elle pesait un talent d'or et Ă©tait garnie de pierres prĂ©cieuses. On la mit sur la tĂȘte de David, qui emporta de la ville un trĂšs grand butin.
