David’s Further Conquests
1 After this it came to pass that David1 attacked the Philistines and subdued them. And David took2 Metheg Ammah from the hand of the Philistines.
2 Then ahe defeated Moab. Forcing them down to the ground, he measured them off with a line. With two lines he measured off those to be put to death, and with one full line those to be kept alive. So the Moabites became David’s bservants, and cbrought tribute.
3 David also defeated Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of aZobah, as he went to recover bhis territory at the River Euphrates.
4 David took from him one thousand chariots,1 seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand foot soldiers. Also David ahamstrung all the chariot horses, except that he spared enough of them for one hundred chariots.
