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

And David gathered all the people together,.... The soldiers that were with him, or near him; which was done partly to recruit Joab's troops, who, by the continuance of the siege, and the sallies of the enemy on them, might be greatly diminished; and partly to make conquests of other cities of the Ammonites, and to carry off the spoil of them:

and went to Rabbah; which must be after the death of Uriah, and very probably during the time of Bathsheba's mourning for him:

and fought against it, and took it; by assault.
