26 Y Joab peleaba contra Rabba de los hijos de Ammón, y tomó la ciudad real.

27 Entonces envió Joab mensajeros á David, diciendo: Yo he peleado contra Rabba, y he tomado la ciudad de las aguas.

28 Junta pues ahora el pueblo que queda, y asienta campo contra la ciudad, y tómala; porque tomando yo la ciudad, no se llame de mi nombre.

29 Y juntando David todo el pueblo, fué contra Rabba, y combatióla, y tomóla.

30 Y tomó la corona de su rey de su cabeza, la cual pesaba un talento de oro, y [tenía] piedras preciosas; y fué puesta sobre la cabeza de David. Y trajo muy grande despojo de la ciudad.
