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.

Commentary on 1 Chronicles 20:3

Theological / Devotional

Cut them with saws. This expression varies by only one letter in the consonantal Hebrew from the reading in Samuel, which says “put them under saws”; that is, David put the Ammonites under forced labor with these implements (see on 2 Samuel 12:31).
