2 He also defeated the Moabites, and after making them lie down on the ground, he measured them off with a cord. He measured every two cord lengths of those to be put to death and one length of those to be kept alive. So the Moabites became David’s subjects and brought tribute.(A)
3 David also defeated Hadadezer(B) son of Rehob, king of Zobah, who went to restore his control at the Euphrates River. 4 David captured 1,700 horsemen[a] and 20,000 foot soldiers from him, and he hamstrung all the horses(C) and kept 100 chariots.[b]
