And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
David sacó a la gente que estaba en la ciudad y los puso a trabajos forzados con sierras, picos de hierro y hachas. David hizo lo mismo con todas las ciudades amonitas. Entonces David y todo su ejército regresaron a Jerusalén.
David sometió a los amonitas a trabajos forzados y regresó con su ejército a Jerusalén.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This occurred during David's war against the Ammonites around 1000 BC, after they had dishonored David's ambassadors and allied with Syria against Israel. Ancient warfare often included putting conquered populations to forced labor as both punishment and a source of workers for building projects. The parallel passage in 2 Samuel suggests these people were put to work rather than executed.
