2 Samuel 8:1-4

1Later David defeated the Philistines and subdued them. David took Metheg Ammah from the Philistines.

2He defeated the Moabites. He made them lie on the ground and then used a rope to measure them off. He put two-thirds of them to death and spared the other third. The Moabites became David’s subjects and brought tribute.

3David defeated King Hadadezer son of Rehob of Zobah when he came to reestablish his authority over the Euphrates River.
