2 Samuel 8:1-2
1And afterH310 this it came to pass, that DavidH1732 smoteH5221 the PhilistinesH6430, and subduedH3665 them: and DavidH1732 tookH3947 Metheg–ammahH4965 out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.1
2And he smoteH5221 MoabH4124, and measuredH4058 them with a lineH2256, casting them downH7901 to the groundH776; even with twoH8147 linesH2256 measuredH4058 he to put to deathH4191, and with one fullH4393 lineH2256 to keep aliveH2421. And so the MoabitesH4124 became David’sH1732 servantsH5650, and broughtH5375 giftsH4503.
