And he brought out the spoil of the city in a very great amount. ³ He also brought out the people who were in it ^(B)and ^[c]made them work with saws and with sharp iron instruments and with axes. And thus David used to do to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
