2 Samuel 12:28

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

Now, then, gather the rest of the people together, encamp against the city, and take it, lest I myself take the city and it be called by my name.”

See the chapter Copy

Joab sent messengers to David and said, “I have fought against Rabbah; moreover, I have taken the water city.

So David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah and fought against it and took it.

Those who speak on their own seek their own glory, but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and there is nothing unjust in him.
