24 And David gave comfort to his wife Bath-sheba, and he went in to her and had connection with her: and she had a son to whom she gave the name Solomon. And he was dear to the Lord.
25 And he sent word by Nathan the prophet, who gave him the name Jedidiah, by the word of the Lord.
26 Now Joab was fighting against Rabbah, in the land of the children of Ammon, and he took the water-town.
27 And Joab sent men to David, saying, I have made war against Rabbah and have taken the water-town.
28 So now, get the rest of the people together, and put them in position against the town and take it, for if I take it, it will be named after my name.
