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 Depois Davi consolou sua mulher Bate-Seba e deitou-se com ela, e ela teve um menino, a quem Davi deu o nome de Salomão. O SENHOR o amou

25 e enviou o profeta Natã com uma mensagem a Davi. E Natã deu ao menino o nome de Jedidias.

26 Enquanto isso, Joabe atacou Rabá dos amonitas e conquistou a fortaleza real.

27 Feito isso, mandou mensageiros a Davi, dizendo: “Lutei contra Rabá e apoderei-me dos seus reservatórios de água.

28 Agora, convoca o restante do exército, cerca a cidade e conquista-a. Se não, eu terei a fama de havê-la conquistado”.
