2 Samuel 8:2-4

International Standard Version

² David also conquered Moab, then measured them with a cord, making them lie down on the ground. He executed everyone measured out in each two lengths’ measurement of the cord, but spared the ones measured out by every third length. Then the Moabites were placed under servitude to David, and made to pay tribute.

³ David also attacked King Hadadezer, Rehob’s son from Zobah, when he was attempting to restore his hegemony^[a] over the Euphrates^[b] River. ⁴ David captured 1,000 of his chariots, 1,700^[c] horsemen, and 20,000 foot soldiers.
