But the days are coming,” declares the Lord,“ when I will sound the battle cry against Rabbah of the Ammonites; it will become a mound of ruins, and its surrounding villages will be set on fire. Then Israel will drive out those who drove her out,” says the Lord.

But a new day is coming,” announces the Lord.“ At that time I will sound the battle cry. I will sound it against Rabbah in the land of Ammon. It will become a pile of broken- down buildings. The villages around it will be set on fire. Then Israel will drive out those who drove her out,” says the Lord.

Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will cause the battle cry to be heard against Rabbah of the Ammonites; it shall become a desolate mound, and its villages shall be burned with fire; then Israel shall dispossess those who dispossessed him, says the Lord.

In the days to come,” says the Lord,“ I will sound the battle cry against your city of Rabbah. It will become a desolate heap of ruins, and the neighboring towns will be burned. Then Israel will take back the land you took from her,” says the Lord.

Therefore look, the days are coming— this is the LORD’s declaration— when I will make the shout of battle heard against Rabbah of the Ammonites. It will become a desolate mound, and its surrounding villages will be set on fire. Israel will dispossess their dispossessors, says the LORD.

Therefore behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord,“ When I will cause an alarm of war to be heard Against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon; And it will become a desolate heap, And her towns will be set on fire. Then Israel will take possession of his possessors,” Says the Lord.

Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord,“ That I will cause to be heard an alarm of war In Rabbah of the Ammonites; It shall be a desolate mound, And her villages shall be burned with fire. Then Israel shall take possession of his inheritance,” says the Lord.

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon; and it shall become a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel possess them that did possess him, saith Jehovah.

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith the LORD.

Because you did that, I, the LORD, affirm that a time is coming when I will make Rabbah, the capital city of Ammon, hear the sound of the battle cry. It will become a mound covered with ruins. Its villages will be burned to the ground. Then Israel will take back its land from those who took their land from them. I, the Lord, affirm it!

Therefore behold, the days come,” says Yahweh,“ that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon; and it will become a desolate heap, and her daughters will be burned with fire: then Israel will possess those who possessed him,” says Yahweh.

年初，正是諸王出戰的時候，大衛派出約押，帶領他的臣僕和以色列全軍。他們毀滅了亞捫人，然後圍困拉巴。大衛卻一直留在耶路撒冷。

耶和華啊，因你的審判，錫安聽了就歡喜，猶大女子也快樂！

耶和華必憐憫雅各，再次揀選以色列，把他們安置在他們自己的土地；寄居者必與他們結合，依附於雅各家。萬民必帶他們回到他們自己的地方；以色列家在耶和華的土地上必擁有萬民作奴僕和婢女，並擄掠那些曾擄掠他們的，轄制那些曾壓迫他們的。在耶和華使你脫離痛苦、煩擾，脫離被迫所服的繁重勞役，得享安息的日子裡，

願錫安山因你的審判而歡喜，願猶大女子因此而快樂。

約押派遣使者去見大衛，說：「我攻打拉巴，已經攻取了水城。現在你要聚集其餘的軍隊，紮營攻擊這城，攻取它，免得我攻取了這城，它就會以我的名字命名。」於是大衛聚集全軍去攻打拉巴，並攻取了它。
