2 Samuel 8:2


Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

David also defeated the Moabites, made them lie down on the ground, and measured them off with a cord. He measured off with two lengths those to be put to death, and with one length those to be spared. So the Moabites became subject to David and brought him tribute.


World English Bible (WEB)

He struck Moab, and measured them with the line, making them to lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. The Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.


Strong's King James

And he smote{H5221}{(H8686)} Moab{H4124}, and measured{H4058}{(H8762)} them with a line{H2256}, casting them down{H7901}{(H8687)} to the ground{H776}; even with two{H8147} lines{H2256} measured{H4058}{(H8762)} he to put to death{H4191}{(H8687)}, and with one full{H4393} line{H2256} to keep alive{H2421}{(H8687)}. And so the Moabites{H4124} became David's{H1732} servants{H5650}, and brought{H5375}{(H8802)} gifts{H4503}.
