1 Chronicles 20

In spring, Yo'ab besieges and conquers Rabbah of the Ammonites while David remains in Yerushalayim; David takes the king's heavy gold crown weighing a talent with precious stones, sets the Ammonites to labor with saws, iron picks, and axes, and returns to Yerushalayim.[1][2][4] David's servants defeat Philistine giants: Sibbekay slays Sippay, Elhanan slays Lachmi brother of Golyat, and Yonatan son of Shim'i slays a six-fingered giant; these repha'im fall by David and his men.[1][2][3]
