26 And as Joab fought against Rabbah, the city of the children of Ammon, he took the king's Tower,
27 and sent messengers to David, saying, "I have made assault to Rabbah, and also have taken the castle from whence they had their water.
28 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and come and besiege the city and take it: lest if I take it, the victory be ascribed to me."
29 And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah and assaulted it and gat it.
30 And he took the king's crown from off his head, which weighed a hundred weight of gold, and was set with precious stones. And David wore it on his head. And he brought out the spoil of the city in exceeding great abundance.
31 And he brought out the people that was therein and sawed them and drew harrows of iron upon them, and shred some of them with shredding knives of iron, and thrust some into furnaces. And so he served all the cities of the children of Ammon. And then David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.
