1 Tawarikh 20:2

20:2 David took the crown from the head of their king ¹  and wore it ²  (its weight was a talent ³  of gold and it was set with precious stones). He took a large amount of plunder from the city.

[20:2]  ¹ tc 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.

[20:2]  ² tn Heb “and it was on the head of David.”

[20:2]  ³ sn See the note on the word “talents” in 19:6.
