David and Bathsheba

11 In the spring of the year, the time when the kings go out to battle, David sent out Joab and his officers, all of Israel with him. They brought to ruin the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah, but David remained in Jerusalem.

²⁹ So David gathered all of the people and they went to Rabbah, fought against it, and took it. ³⁰ David took the crown of their king from his head, and its weight was a talent^[a] of gold and precious stone. It was placed upon the head of David. He brought out large quantities of plunder from the city. ³¹ He brought out the people who were in it, and he put them to work with saws, and iron picks, and iron axes, and sent them to work in the brick kiln. Thus he did to all of the cities of the Ammonites. Then David and all of the people returned to Jerusalem.
