CHAP. XX.
*Joab takes the city of Rabbah. The Philistines are three times overcome by* *David and his servants.*
*Before Christ 1037.*
**REFLECTIONS.—**While Joab conquered the country of the Ammonites, David stayed at Jerusalem: we learn, with grief, to how bad purpose, [2 Samuel 11](../../../kjv/2-samuel/11). Here his crime is passed over. A veil should be drawn ever the sins which are repented of, and they should no more be mentioned to a man's shame.
