ગુજરાતી1 કાળવૃતાંત ૨૦:૩
તેણે નગરના લોકોને બહાર લાવીને તેઓની પાસે કરવતો, તીકમો અને કુહાડીઓથી કામ કરાવ્યું. દાઉદ આમ્મોનીઓના રાજા અને લોકો સાથે આ રીતે વર્તતો હતો. પછી દાઉદ અને તેનું આખું સૈન્ય યરુશાલેમમાં પાછું આવ્યું.
हिन्दी1 इतिहास २०:३
उसने उनमें रहनेवालों को निकालकर आरों और लोहे के हेंगों और कुल्हाड़ियों से कटवाया; और अम्मोनियों के सब नगरों के साथ भी दाऊद ने वैसा ही किया। तब दाऊद सब लोगों समेत यरूशलेम को लौट गया।
