War Again
26 (A)Now Joab fought against (B)Rabbah of the sons of Ammon and captured the royal city. 27 Joab sent messengers to David and said, “I have fought against Rabbah, I have even captured the city of waters. 28 Now therefore, gather the rest of the people together and camp against the city and capture it, or I will capture the city myself and it will be named after me.” 29 So David gathered all the people and went to Rabbah, fought against it and captured it. 30 Then (C)he took the crown of [a]their king from his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it [b]was a precious stone; and it was placed on David’s head. And he brought out the spoil of the city in great amounts. 31 He also brought out the people who were in it, and (D)set them under saws, sharp iron instruments, and iron axes, and made them pass through the brickkiln. And thus he did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

Joab Fights Ammon
26 (A)Then Joab fought against (B)Rabbah of the sons of Ammon and captured the royal city. 27 And Joab sent messengers to David and said, “I have fought against Rabbah, I have even captured the city of waters. 28 So now, gather the rest of the people together and camp against the city and capture it, lest I capture the city myself and it be named after me.” 29 So David gathered all the people and went to Rabbah, fought against it and captured it. 30 Then (C)he took the crown of [a]their king from his head; and its weight was a [b]talent of gold, and in it [c]was a precious stone; and it was placed on David’s head. And he brought out the spoil of the city in a very great amount. 31 He also brought out the people who were in it and (D)set them up with saws, sharp iron instruments, and iron axes, and made them pass through the brickkiln. And thus he used to do to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

And he brought out the plunder of the city in great amounts. 31 He also brought out the people who were in it, and (D)put some to work at saws, iron picks, and iron axes, and made [c]others [d]serve at the brick [e]works. And he did the same to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
