And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

20:3 cut them with saws. Whether this refers to a cruel and systematic murder of the Ammonites seems unlikely. The terminology may be a colloquialism for putting them to hard labor.


20:3 harrows. See note on II Samuel 12:31.
