2 Samuel 12:30-31

Modern English Version

³⁰ David took the crown of their king from his head, and its weight was a talent^[a] of gold and precious stone. It was placed upon the head of David. He brought out large quantities of plunder from the city. ³¹ He brought out the people who were in it, and he put them to work with saws, and iron picks, and iron axes, and sent them to work in the brick kiln. Thus he did to all of the cities of the Ammonites. Then David and all of the people returned to Jerusalem.
