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 Luego David fue a consolar a su esposa y se unió a ella. Betsabé le dio un hijo, al que David llamó Salomón. El SEÑOR amó al niño
25 y mandó a decir por medio del profeta Natán que le pusieran por nombre Jedidías, por disposición del SEÑOR.
26 Mientras tanto, Joab había atacado la ciudad amonita de Rabá y capturado la fortaleza real.
27 Entonces envió unos mensajeros a decirle a David: «Acabo de atacar a Rabá y he capturado los depósitos de agua.
28 Ahora, pues, le pido a Su Majestad que movilice el resto de las tropas para sitiar y capturar la ciudad. Si no, lo haré yo mismo y le pondrán mi nombre».
