³⁸ The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi^[a]; he is the father of the Ammonites^[b](A) of today.

³¹ and brought out the people who were there, consigning them to labor with saws and with iron picks and axes, and he made them work at brickmaking.^[a] David did this to all the Ammonite^(A) towns. Then he and his entire army returned to Jerusalem.
