And they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth-maacah, and they cast up a mound against the city, and it stood against the rampart; and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.

And Joab and his men got him shut up in Abel of Beth-maacah, and put up an earthwork against the town: and all Joab's men did their best to get the wall broken down.

Τοτε ηλθον και επολιορκησαν αυτον εν Αβελ-βαιθ-μααχα, και υψωσαν προχωμα εναντιον της πολεως, στησαντες αυτο πλησιον του προτειχισματος, και πας ο λαος, ο μετα του Ιωαβ, διωρυσσον το τειχος δια να κρημνισωσιν αυτο.

And they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth–maachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
