2 Samuel 11:23

And the messenger said unto David ,.... The particulars of his account follow:

surely the men prevailed against us ; the men of the city of Rabbah, the besieged there, in one onset they made upon them:

and came out unto us in the field ; the besiegers that lay encamped there; they sallied out upon them:

and we were upon them, even unto the entering of the gate ; rallied upon them, and drove them back, and pursued them to the gate of the city.
