THE ISRAELITES DEFEAT THE AMMONITES

Joab, David’s military leader, leads the Israelites in their battle at Rabbah against the Ammonites. David is supposed to go to war in the springtime, but stays back in Jerusalem. David takes the crown from the Ammonite king after Rabbah is besieged.

After this battle, there is another battle with the Philistines, and Elhanan, the giant brother of Goliath, is killed. David’s nephew Jonathan kills a giant as well, one with twelve fingers and twelve toes.
