1 Chronicles 20:1

20:1 In the spring, at the time when kings normally conduct wars, ¹  Joab led the army into battle and devastated the land of the Ammonites. He went and besieged Rabbah, while David stayed in Jerusalem. Joab defeated Rabbah and tore it down.

Zechariah 14:3

14:3 Then the Lord will go to battle ²  and fight against those nations, just as he fought battles in ancient days. ³ 

¹ tn Heb “and it was at the time of the turning of the year, at the time of the going out of kings.”

² sn The statement the Lord will go to battle introduces the conflict known elsewhere as the “battle of Armageddon,” a battle in which the Lord delivers his people and establishes his millennial reign (cf. Joel 3:12, 15-16; Ezek 38–39; Rev 16:12-21; 19:19-21).

³ tn Heb “as he fights on a day of battle” (similar NASB, NIV, NRSV).
