2 Samuel 12:26-31 - Battle With The Ammonites
26 Meanwhile, Joab fought against the Ammonite city of Rabbah and captured its royal fortress. 27 He sent messengers to tell David: I fought against Rabbah and captured the fortress guarding its water supply. 28 Assemble the rest of the troops. Surround the city and capture it. Otherwise I will capture the city. Then it will be named after me. 29 David assembled the rest of the army and attacked Rabbah. He captured the city. 30 He removed the crown of their god Milcom from off the head of their king. The crown was made of seventy-five pounds of gold. There was a valuable jewel on it. David put the jewel on his own crown. He also carried off everything else of value. 31 David made the people of Rabbah tear down the city walls with iron picks and axes. He also put them to work making bricks. He did the same thing with all the other Ammonite cities. David went back to Jerusalem. The people of Israel returned to their homes.
