1 Chronicles 20:2

2 David took the crown from the head of their king ^{▼▼ The translation follows the MT, which reads “of their king”; the LXX and Vulgate read “of Milcom” (cf. 1 Kgs 11:5). Milcom, also known as Molech, was the god of the Ammonites.} and wore it ^{▼▼ Heb “and it was on the head of David.”} (its weight was a talent ^{▼▼ See the note on the word “talents” in 19:6.} of gold and it was set with precious stones). He took a large amount of plunder from the city.
