24And 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.
25And he sent word by Nathan the prophet, who gave him the name Jedidiah, by the word of the Lord.
26Now Joab was fighting against Rabbah, in the land of the children of Ammon, and he took the water-town.
27And Joab sent men to David, saying, I have made war against Rabbah and have taken the water-town.
28So 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.
29Then David got all the people together and went to Rabbah and made war on it and took it.
30And he took the crown of Milcom from his head; the weight of it was a talent of gold, and in it were stones of great price; and it was put on David's head. And he took a great store of goods from the town.
