2 SAMUEL 11:1 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.”
In the spring of the year, the time when kings go out to battle, David sent Joab with his servants and all Israel to destroy the Ammonites - The military campaign is led by Joab; David remains in Jerusalem. The note that kings typically lead armies makes David's absence conspicuous. The decision to stay home will prove catastrophic.
