2 Samuel 8:1-3

Modern English Version

David’s Victories^(A)

8 Afterward, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and David took Metheg Ammah from the hand of the Philistines.

² He also defeated Moab. He measured them with a length of rope, forcing them to lie down on the ground. He measured two lengths of rope to be put to death, but the entirety of one length he allowed to live. So the Moabites became subject to David, bearing tribute.

³ David also defeated Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to restore his authority over the River Euphrates.
