2 Samuel 12:26-31

26 1Now JoabH3097 foughtH3898 against 2RabbahH7237 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983, and capturedH3920 the royalH4410 cityH5892.

27Then JoabH3097 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to DavidH1732 and saidH559, “I have foughtH3898 against RabbahH7237, I have evenH1571 capturedH3920 the cityH5892 of watersH4325.

28NowH6258 then, gatherH622 the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 and campH2583 oppositeH5921 the cityH5892 and captureH3920 it, orH6435 I will captureH3920 the cityH5892 myselfH589 and it will be namedH7121 H8034 afterH5921 me.”

29So DavidH1732 gatheredH622 allH3605 the peopleH5971 and wentH1980 to RabbahH7237, and he foughtH3898 against it and capturedH3920 it.

30Then 3he tookH3947 the crownH5850 of 4their kingH4428 from his headH7218; and its weightH4948 was a 5talentH3603 of goldH2091, and it had a preciousH3368 stoneH68; and it was placed on David’sH1732 headH7218. And he broughtH3318 outH3318 the plunderH7998 of the cityH5892 in greatH3966 amountsH7235.

31He also broughtH3318 outH3318 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were in it, and 6putH7760 some to work at sawsH4050, ironH1270 picksH2757, and ironH1270 axesH4037, and made 7others 8serveH5674 at the brickH4404 9worksH4404. And he didH6213 the sameH3651 to allH3605 the citiesH5892 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983. Then DavidH1732 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389.
