1 Chronicles 20:1-3
InH6256 the springH8666H8141,1 at the time whenH6256 kingsH4428 march out to warH3318, JoabH3097 led outH5090 the armyH2428H6635 and ravagedH7843 the landH776 of the AmmonitesH1121H5983. He cameH935 to RabbahH7237 and besieged itH6696, but DavidH1732 remainedH3427 in JerusalemH3389. And JoabH3097 attackedH5221 RabbahH7237 and demolished itH2040.
2Then DavidH1732 tookH3947 the crownH5850 fromH5921 the headH7218 of their kingH4428.2 It was foundH4672 to weighH4948 a talentH3603 of goldH20913 and was set with preciousH3368 stonesH68, and it wasH1961 placed onH5921 David’sH1732 headH7218. And David tookH3318 a great amountH7235H3966 of plunderH7998 from the cityH5892.
David brought outH3318 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were there and putH7787 them to work4 with sawsH4050, ironH1270 picksH2757, and axesH4050. AndH1732 he didH6213 the sameH3651 to allH3605 the AmmoniteH1121H5983 citiesH5892. ThenH1732 David and allH3605 his troopsH5971 returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389.
