2 Samuel 8:1

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.
