24 David comforted his wife Bathsheba and slept with her. Later on, she gave birth to another son and named him Solomon. The Lord loved Solomon
25 and sent Nathan the prophet to tell David, “The Lord will call him Jedidiah.”
26 Meanwhile, Joab had been in the country of Ammon, attacking the city of Rabbah. He captured the royal fortress
27 and sent a messenger to tell David:I have attacked Rabbah and captured the fortress guarding the city water supply.
28 Call the rest of the army together. Then surround the city, and capture it yourself. If you don't, everyone will remember that I captured the city.
29 David called the rest of the army together and attacked Rabbah. He captured the city
30 and took the crown from the statue of their god Milcom. The crown was made of about thirty-five kilogrammes of gold, and there was a valuable jewel on it. David put the jewel on his own crown. He also carried off everything else of value.
