2 Samuel 8:1-4
1After this, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah from Philistine control.
2He 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 full length of those to be kept alive. So the Moabites became David’s subjects and brought tribute.
3David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to restore his control at the Euphrates River.
4David captured seventeen hundred horsemen and twenty thousand foot soldiers from him, and he hamstrung all the horses and kept a hundred chariots.
