2 Samuel 12:26

David’s Forces Defeat the Ammonites

12:26 ¹ So Joab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites and captured the royal city.

2 Samuel 13:17

13:17 He called his personal attendant and said to him, “Take this woman out of my sight ²  and lock the door behind her!”

[12:26]  ¹ sn Here the narrative resumes the battle story that began in 11:1 (see 11:25). The author has interrupted that story to give the related account of David’s sin with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah. He now returns to the earlier story and brings it to a conclusion.

[13:17]  ² tn Heb “send this [one] from upon me to the outside.”
