2 Samuel12:28

28 Now therefore, gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it : lest I take the city, and it be called after my name .

For having taken one part of the City, he concluded the remaining part of it could not long stand out.

Lest I have the Honour of taking it. Thus he seeks to engratiate himself with the King, by pretending great care for his Honour and Interest.

Marginal references: Heb. my name be called upon it.
