2 Samuel 12:29-31

New Living Translation

²⁹ So David gathered the rest of the army and went to Rabbah, and he fought against it and captured it. ³⁰ David removed the crown from the king’s head,^[a] and it was placed on his own head. The crown was made of gold and set with gems, and it weighed seventy-five pounds.^[b] David took a vast amount of plunder from the city. ³¹ He also made slaves of the people of Rabbah and forced them to labor with^[c] saws, iron picks, and iron axes, and to work in the brick kilns.^[d] That is how he dealt with the people of all the Ammonite towns. Then David and all the army returned to Jerusalem.
