 At that time, long ago, the big bosses of those nations used to wait for the end of the cold weather to finish every year, then they used to get their soldiers together, and the big bosses went with their soldiers to fight with other nations. That was their way. One year, at that time, David told his boss soldier Joab, Gather the soldiers from Israel together. Go again to fight with the Ammon mob. So they went, and they met up with the soldiers from Ammon, and they beat them properly. Then they went to the town called Rabbah in Ammon country and stood in a circle around it. The Rabbah people couldnt get out of their town, because the Israel soldiers blocked the gates. But David didnt go with his soldiers to that town. He stayed home, in Jerusalem.
