1 Chronicles 20:2-4
New American Standard Bible
2 (A)David took the crown of [a]their king from his head, and he found it to weigh a [b]talent of gold, and there was a precious stone in it; and it was placed on David’s head. And he brought out the spoils of the city, a very great amount. 3 He brought out the people who were in it, (B)and [c]put them to work at saws, iron picks, and axes. And David did the same to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
4 (C)Now it came about after this, that war [d]broke out at [e]Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbecai the Hushathite [f]killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the [g]giants, and they were subdued.
