And it came to pass, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that Joab led forth the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and overthrew it.

Now in the spring, at the time when kings go out to war, Joab went out at the head of the armed forces and made waste all the land of the Ammonites and put his men in position before Rabbah, shutting it in. But David was still at Jerusalem. And Joab took Rabbah and made it waste.

Εν δε τω ακολουθω ετει, καθ' ον καιρον εκστρατευουσιν οι βασιλεις, ο Ιωαβ εξεκινησε πασαν την δυναμιν του στρατευματος και εφθειρε την γην των υιων Αμμων, και ελθων επολιορκησε την Ραββα· ο δε Δαβιδ εμεινεν εν Ιερουσαλημ. Και επαταξεν ο Ιωαβ την Ραββα και κατεστρεψεν αυτην.

And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.
