2 Samuel 12:28

“Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, etc.] The rest of the soldiers in the land of Israel, and come to Rabbah: and encamp against the city; invest it in form: and take it; upon a surrender or by storm; for it could not hold out long: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name; so great a regard had Joab, though an ambitious man, to the fame and credit of David his king: so Craterus f194 at the siege of Artacacna, being prepared to take it, waited the coming of Alexander, that he might have the honour of it.”

“encamp against the city, and take it--It has always been characteristic of Oriental despots to monopolize military honors; and as the ancient world knew nothing of the modern refinement of kings gaining victories by their generals, so Joab sent for David to command the final assault in person. A large force was levied for the purpose. David without much difficulty captured the royal city and obtained possession of its immense wealth. lest I take the city, and it be called after my name--The circumstance of a city receiving a new name after some great person, as Alexandria, Constantinople, Hyderabad, is of frequent occurrence in the ancient and modern history of the East.”

“Take it - For having taken one part of the city, he concluded the remaining part of it could not long stand out. Lest - Lest I have the honour of taking it. 2 Kings (2 Samuel) 12:30”

“it be called after my name: Heb. my name be called upon it, Joh 7:18 2 Kings (2 Samuel) 12:30”
