Contextual Overview

²⁶ Joab fought against Rabbah, a royal city of the Ammonites, and he was about to capture it. ²⁷ Joab sent messengers to David and said, "I have fought against Rabbah and have captured its water supply. ²⁸ Now bring the other soldiers together and attack this city. Capture it before I capture it myself and it is called by my name!" ²⁹ So David gathered all the army and went to Rabbah and fought against it and captured it. ³⁰ David took the crown off their king's head and had it placed on his own head. That gold crown weighed about seventy-five pounds, and it had valuable gems in it. And David took many valuable things from the city. ³¹ He also brought out the people of the city and forced them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes. He also made them build with bricks. David did this to all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all his army returned to Jerusalem.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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 a at the siege of Artacacna, being prepared to take it, waited the coming of Alexander, that he might have the honour of it.
