2 Samuel 8:2-4

Expanded Bible

² He also ·defeated [^Lstruck] the people of Moab. He made them lie on the ground, and then he used a rope to measure them. ·Those who were measured within two rope lengths were killed, but those who were within the next rope length were allowed to live [He put to death two measured groups for every one measured group he allowed to live]. So the people of Moab became ·servants [subjects] of David and ·gave him the payment he demanded [paid/brought him tribute].

³ David also ·defeated [^Lstruck] Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to ·take control again at [extend his power/rule/^Lhand over; or restore his monument at] the Euphrates River. ⁴ David captured ·one thousand chariots, seven thousand men who rode in chariots [or 1,700 charioteers], and twenty thousand foot soldiers. He ·crippled [hamstrung] all but a hundred of the chariot horses.
