NASB | 1 Chronicles 20:1 Then it happened in the spring, at the time when kings go out to battle, that Joab led out the army and ravaged the land of the sons of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabbah and overthrew it. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Chronicles 20:1 Then it happened at the end of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, Joab led out the army and ravaged and devastated the land of the Ammonites, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem [with Bathsheba]. Joab struck Rabbah and overthrew it. [2 Sam 12:24-29] |
Subject: Did David chop and roast the Amonites? |
Bible Note: Yes, of course, but the question is about what really happened. Was it chop and roast? Or tools and toil? If there is no clear decision on translation, then we have to ask which version makes more sense for the time and the character of David. |
