1 Chronicles 20:2-3
New Living Translation
2 Then David went to Rabbah and 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 he found that it weighed seventy-five pounds.[b] David took a vast amount of plunder from the city. 3 He also made slaves of the people of Rabbah and forced them to labor with saws, iron picks, and iron axes.[c] That is how David dealt with the people of all the Ammonite towns. Then David and all the army returned to Jerusalem.
