1And it was at the time of the return of the year, at the time of the going out of the kings, and Joab led the power of the heavenly host and he destroyed the land of the sons of Ammon. And he came and he rocked Rabbah, and David sat in Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabbah and he pulled it down.2And David took the crown of their king from upon his head, and it was found a weight of a talent of gold, and in it a precious stone, and it was on the head of David. And he brought out the spoil of the city, very much.3And he brought out the people who were in it and sawed them with the saw and with iron picks and with saws. And in this way David would do to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. And David dwelt in Jerusalem, and all the people.
