And it came to pass, that after
<06256>

the year
<08141>

was expired
<08666>_,

at the time
<06256>

that kings
<04428>

go out
<03318> (8800)

[to battle], Joab
<03097>

led forth
<05090> (8799)

the power
<02428>

of the army
<06635>_,

and wasted
<07843> (8686)

the country
<0776>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

and besieged
<06696> (8799)

Rabbah
<07237>_.

But David
<01732>

tarried
<03427> (8802)

at Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And Joab
<03097>

smote

took
<03947> (8799)

the crown
<05850>

of their king
<04428>

from off his head
<07218>_,

and found
<04672> (8799)

it to weigh
<04948>

a talent
<03603>

of gold
<02091>_,

and [there were] precious
<03368>

stones
<068>

in it; and it was set upon David's
<01732>

head
<07218>_:

and he brought
<03318> (8689)

also exceeding
<03966>

much
<07235> (8687)

spoil
<07998>

out of the city

the people

[them] with saws
<04050>_,

and with harrows
<02757>

of iron
<01270>_,

and with axes
<04050>_.

Even so dealt

with all the cities

of the children

of Ammon
<05983>_.

<05975> (8799)

war
<04421>

at Gezer
<01507>

with the Philistines
<06430>_;

at which time

Sibbechai
<05444>

the Hushathite

the son

David's

brother
<0251>

slew
