1 Chronicles 20 (WEBP)

^[1] At the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, Joab led out the army and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it.
^[2] David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold,° and there were precious stones in it. It was set on David’s head, and he brought very much plunder out of the city.
^[3] He brought out the people who were in it, and had them cut with saws, with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
^[4] After this, war arose at Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued.
^[5] Again there was war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
^[6] There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.
^[7] When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.
^[8] These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

1 Chronicles 20:2 A talent is about 30 kilograms or 66 pounds or 965 Troy ounces

1 Chronicles 20 (KJVS)

^[1] And it came to pass, that after H6256 the year H8141 was expired H8666, at the time H6256 that kings H4428 go out H3318 (8800) [to battle], Joab H3097 led forth H5090 (8799) the power H2428 of the army H6635, and wasted H7843 (8686) the country H776 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983, and came H935 (8799) and besieged H6696 (8799) Rabbah H7237. But David H1732 tarried H3427 (8802) at Jerusalem H3389. And Joab H3097 smote H5221 (8686) Rabbah H7237, and destroyed H2040 (8799) it.
^[2] And David H1732 took H3947 (8799) the crown H5850 of their king H4428 from off his head H7218, and found H4672 (8799) it to weigh H4948 a talent H3603 of gold H2091, and [there were] precious H3368 stones H68 in it; and it was set upon David’s H1732 head H7218: and he brought H3318 (8689) also exceeding H3966 much H7235 (8687) spoil H7998 out of the city H5892.
^[3] And he brought out H3318 (8689) the people H5971 that [were] in it, and cut H7787 (8799) [them] with saws H4050, and with harrows H2757 of iron H1270, and with axes H4050. Even so dealt H6213 (8799) David H1732 with all the cities H5892 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983. And David H1732 and all the people H5971 returned H7725 (8799) to Jerusalem H3389.
^[4] And it came to pass after this H310, that there arose H5975 (8799) war H4421 at Gezer H1507 with the Philistines H6430; at which time H227 Sibbechai H5444 the Hushathite H2843 slew H5221 (8689) Sippai H5598, [that was] of the children H3211 of the giant H7497: and they were subdued H3665 (8735).
^[5] And there was war H4421 again with the Philistines H6430; and Elhanan H445 the son H1121 of Jair H3265 slew H5221 (8686) Lahmi H3902 the brother H251 of Goliath H1555 the Gittite H1663, whose spear H2595 staff H6086 [was] like a weaver’s H707 (8802) beam H4500.
^[6] And yet again there was war H4421 at Gath H1661, where was a man H376 of [great] stature H4060, whose fingers H676 and toes H676 [were] four H702 and twenty H6242, six H8337 [on each hand], and six H8337 [on each foot]: and he also was the son H3205 (8738) of the giant H7497.
^[7] But when he defied H2778 (8762) Israel H3478, Jonathan H3083 the son H1121 of Shimea H8092 David’s H1732 brother H251 slew H5221 (8686) him.
^[8] These H411 were born H3205 (8738) unto the giant H7497 in Gath H1661; and they fell H5307 (8799) by the hand H3027 of David H1732, and by the hand H3027 of his servants H5650.

Young’s Literal Translation

1 Chronicles 20 (YLT)

^[1] And it cometh to pass, at the time of the turn of the year-at the time of the going out of the messengers-that Joab leadeth out the force of the host, and destroyeth the land of the sons of Ammon, and cometh in and beseigeth Rabbah-David is abiding in Jerusalem-and Joab smiteth Rabbah, and breaketh it down.
^[2] And David taketh the crown of their king from off his head, and findeth it in weight a talent of gold, and in it a precious stone, and it is on the head of David: and spoil of the city he hath brought out very much,
^[3] and the people who are in it he hath brought out, and setteth to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes; and thus doth David to all cities of the sons of Ammon, and David turneth back, and all the people, to Jerusalem.
^[4] And it cometh to pass, after this, that there remaineth war in Gezer with the Philistines, then hath Sibbechai the Hushathite smitten Sippai, of the children of the giant, and they are humbled.
^[5] And there is again war with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair smiteth Lahmi, brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood of whose spear is like a beam of weavers.
^[6] And there is again war in Gath, and there is a man of measure, and his fingers and his toes are six and six, twenty and four, and also, he hath been born to the giant.
^[7] And he reproacheth Israel, and smite him doth Jonathan son of Shimea, brother of David.
^[8] These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
