2 Samuel 12:29-31
29So David gathered all the people and went to Rabbah, and he fought against it and captured it.
30Then 1he took the crown of 2their king from his head; and its weight was a 3talent of gold, and it had a precious stone; and it was placed on David’s head. And he brought out the plunder of the city in great amounts.
31He also brought out the people who were in it, and 4put some to work at saws, iron picks, and iron axes, and made 5others 6serve at the brick 7works. And he did the same to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
