2 Samuel 8:1-2

1After this, David defeated and crushed the Philistines. He took control of the main Philistine city from them.

2He also defeated Moab, made the Moabites lie down on the ground, and measured them with a rope. He measured two lengths which were to be killed, and one length which was to be spared. So the Moabites became David’s subjects and paid taxes ⌞to him⌟.
