War Again

26 (A)Now Joab fought against (B)Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and captured the royal city. 27 Then Joab sent messengers to David and said, “I have fought against Rabbah, I have even captured the city of waters. 28 Now then, gather the rest of the people and camp opposite 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, and he 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 it had a precious stone; and it was placed on David’s head. 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.

2 Samuel 12:26-31
American Standard Version

26 Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city. 27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah; yea, I have taken the city of waters. 28 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it; lest I take the city, and [a]it be called after my name. 29 And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it. 30 And he took the crown of [b]their king from off his head; and the weight thereof was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David’s head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much. 31 And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them [c]under saws, and [d]under harrows of iron, and [e]under axes of iron, and [f]made them pass through the [g]brickkiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.
