Parallel

1 Chronicles 20:2

Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible

And David took the crown of Malcam from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David’s head; and he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much.
Then David took the crown from the head of their king (note: Or from the head of Milcom. Milcom, also called Molech, was god of the Ammonites; see Leviticus 18:21 and 1 Kings 11:7.). It was found to weigh a talent of gold (note: A talent is approximately 75.4 pounds or 34.2 kilograms of gold.) and was set with precious stones, and it was placed on David’s head. And David took a great amount of plunder from the city.
