1 Chronicles 20:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
20 1 Rabbah destroyed. 3 The Ammonites tormented. 4 The Philistines are thrice overcome with their giants.
1 And (A)when the year was expired, in the time that kings go out a warfare, Joab carried out the strength of the army, and destroyed the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged [a]Rabbah (but David tarried at Jerusalem) and Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.
2 (B)Then David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it the weight of a [b]talent of gold with precious stones in it: and it was set on David’s head, and he brought away the spoil of the city exceeding much.
3 And he carried away the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes: even thus did David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people came again to Jerusalem.
