And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V31\">31\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And he brought forth the people that <span class=\"add\">were<\/span> therein, and put <span class=\"add\">them<\/span> under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon.
