2David also defeatedH5221 the MoabitesH4124, made them lie downH7901 on the groundH776, and measured them offH4058 with a cordH2256. He measured offH4058 with twoH8147 lengthsH2256 those to be put to deathH4191, and with oneH4393 lengthH2256 those to be sparedH2421. So the MoabitesH4124 becameH1961 subjectH5650 to DavidH1732 and brought himH5375 tributeH4503.
