1 Mambo Ya Nyakati 20:1

Mwanzoni mwa mwaka mpya, wakati ambapo wafalme huenda vitani, Yoabu aliliongoza jeshi. Aliangamiza nchi ya Waamoni, na akaenda Raba na kuuzingira, lakini Daudi alibaki Yerusalemu. Yoabu akashambulia Raba na kuuacha ukiwa magofu.

And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.
