David’s Wars

8 After this, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them. David took Metheg Ha’ammah[a] from the control of the Philistines.

2 He defeated Moab and measured the men with a length of rope after making them lie down on the ground. He measured two lengths to be put to death and one full length to live. The Moabites became subject to David and brought tribute.

3 David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to restore his control[b] at the river Euphrates.
