2 Samuel 12:30-31
International Standard Version
30 He confiscated the crown of their king[a] from his head—it weighed one talent[b] in gold and was set with precious stones—and it was placed on David’s head. He confiscated a great amount of war booty that had been plundered from the city, 31 brought back the people who had lived in it, placing them under conscripted labor with saws, iron picks, and axes. He did this to every Ammonite city, and then David and his entire army[c] returned to Jerusalem.
