Parallel

2 Samuel 12:30

Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible

And he took the crown of Malcam from off his head; and the weight thereof was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David’s head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much.
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.
