Venerunt itaque, et oppugnabant eum in Abela et in Bethmaacha, et circumdederunt munitionibus civitatem, et obsessa est urbs: omnis autem turba quæ erat cum Joab, moliebatur destruere muros.
And they came, and besieged him in Abela, and in Bethmaacha, and they cast up works round the city, and the city was besieged: and all the people that were with Joab, laboured to throw down the walls.
Veni itaque, et oppugna illo in Abela et in Bethmaacha, et circumda ad munitiones civitate, et obsisda es urbe: omni autem turba que es cum Ioabe, molior destrue muros.
