2 Samuël 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 Samuël 12:26 In-Context

24 Daarna troostte David zijn huisvrouw Bathseba, en ging tot haar in, en lag bij haar; en zij baarde een zoon, wiens naam zij noemde Salomo; en de HEERE had hem lief.
25 En zond heen door de hand van den profeet Nathan, en noemde zijn naam Jedid-Jah, om des HEEREN wil.
26 Joab nu krijgde tegen Rabba der kinderen Ammons; en hij nam de koninklijke stad in.
27 Toen zond Joab boden tot David, en zeide: Ik heb gekrijgd tegen Rabba, ook heb ik de waterstad ingenomen.
28 Zo verzamel gij nu het overige des volks, en beleger de stad, en neem ze in; opdat niet, zo ik de stad zou innemen, mijn naam over haar uitgeroepen worde.
