2 SAMUEL 12:31 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.”
He took the crown of Milcom from its head; the weight of it was a talent of gold, and in it was a precious stone; and it was placed on David's head. He also brought out the spoil of the city, a very great amount - David claims the spoil of victory: Milcom's crown and immense treasure. The crown placed on David's head marks his triumph. Yet the chapter concludes with the echo of judgment: the sword will not depart from David's house, and the child born of sin has died. Victory mingles with consequence.
