Parallel

2 Samuel 12:30

Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible

And he took the crown of Molchom their king from off his head, and the weight of it was a talent of gold, with precious stones, and it was upon the head of David; and he carried forth very much spoil of the city.
Then he 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 weighed 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.
