2 Samuel 10:14

And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.

Alors Joab est retourné ... et est venu à Jérusalem. La saison était probablement trop avancée pour entrer en siège.
