And Ioab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and tooke the royall citie.

And Ioab sent messengers to Dauid, and said, I haue fought against Rabbah, and haue taken the citie of waters.

Now therefore, gather the rest of the people together, and encampe against the citie, and take it: lest I take the citie, and it be called after my name.

And Dauid gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and tooke it.

And he tooke their kings crowne from off his head (the weight whereof was a talent of gold, with the precious stones) and it was set on Dauids head, and he brought forth the spoile of the citie in great abundance.

And he brought foorth the people that were therein, and put them vnder sawes, and vnder harrowes of yron, and vnder axes of yron, and made them passe through the bricke-kilne: And thus did he vnto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So Dauid and all the people returned vnto Ierusalem.
