Na verloop van een jaar tijds, tegen den tijd dat de koningen plegen te velde te trekken, voerde Joab het krijgsheir uit, verwoestte het land der Ammonieten, kwam bij Rabba en belegerde het, terwijl David te Jeruzalem bleef. En Joab sloeg Rabba en haalde het omver.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This chapter, containing such other warlike exploits belonging to David’s reign as the writer of Chronicles thinks it important to put on record, is to be compared with the passages of Samuel noted in the marginal references.

NOTES ON CHAP. XX

Verse 1 Chronicles 20:1. After the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle] About the spring of the year; 2 Samuel 11:1.

After this verse the parallel place in Samuel relates the whole story of David and Bath-sheba, and the murder of Uriah, which the compiler of these books passes over as he designedly does almost every thing prejudicial to the character of David. All he states is, but David tarried at Jerusalem; and, while he thus tarried, and Joab conducted the war against the Ammonites, the awful transactions above referred to took place.
