11:18 Then Joab sent a full battle report to David. 2
12:26 3 So Joab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites and captured the royal city.
14:23 So Joab got up and went to Geshur and brought Absalom back to Jerusalem. 4

1 tn Heb “takes delight in.”
2 tn Heb “Joab sent and related to David all the matters of the battle.”
3 sn Here the narrative resumes the battle story that began in 11:1 (see 11:25). The author has interrupted that story to give the related account of David’s sin with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah. He now returns to the earlier story and brings it to a conclusion.
