26 E Joabe lutava contra Rabá dos filhos de Amom, e tomou a cidade real.

27 Então enviou Joabe mensageiros a Davi, dizendo: Eu lutei contra Rabá, e tomei a cidade das águas.

28 Junta, pois, agora o povo que resta, e assenta acampamento contra a cidade, e toma-a; porque tomando eu a cidade, não se chame de meu nome.
