2 Samuel 12

29 So David led the rest of his army to Rabbah and captured it.

30 David removed the crown from the king's head,* and it was placed on David's own head. The crown was made of gold and set with gems, and it weighed about seventy-five pounds.* David took a vast amount of plunder from the city.¹

31 He also made slaves of the people of Rabbah and forced them to labor with saws, picks, and axes, and to work in the brick kilns. That is how he dealt with the people of all the Ammonite cities. Then David and his army returned to Jerusalem.

Read 2 Samuel 13

1: Greek version reads removed the crown of Milcom; compare 1 Kgs 11:5. Milcom, also called Molech, was the god of the Ammonites.
