2 Samuel 8:1-2

21st Century King James Version

8 And after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines and subdued them; and David took Methegammah out of the hand of the Philistines.

² And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground: even with two lines measured he those to be put to death, and with one full line those to be kept alive. And so the Moabites became David’s servants and brought gifts.
