Bible Verses About Sieges: Rabbah

At the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem.

Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.

Joab sent messengers to David, and said, “I have fought against Rabbah. Yes, I have taken the city of waters.

Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.”

David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
