Bible Verses About Sieges: Rabbah

In the spring, at the time when kings go out to war, David sent out Yo'av, his servants who were with him and all Isra'el. They ravaged the people of 'Amon and laid siege to Rabbah. But David stayed in Yerushalayim.

Yo'av fought against Rabbah of the people of 'Amon and took the royal city.

Yo'av sent people to David with this message: "I have fought against Rabbah and captured its water supply.

Therefore, assemble the rest of the people; lay siege to the city; and capture it. Otherwise, I will capture the city; and it will be named after me!"

David assembled all the people, went to Rabbah, fought against it and captured it.
