2 Samuel 12:30-31
Living Bible
29-30 So David led his army to Rabbah and captured it. Tremendous amounts of loot were carried back to Jerusalem, and David took the king of Rabbah’s crown—a $50,000 treasure made from solid gold set with gems—and placed it on his own head. 31 He made slaves of the people of the city and made them labor with saws, picks, and axes and work in the brick kilns;[a] that is the way he treated all of the cities of the Ammonites. Then David and the army returned to Jerusalem.
