1 After this, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them; and David took. . . from the Philistines.

2 He also defeated Moab and measured them with a line. Making them lie down on the ground, he measured two lengths of line for death, and a full length for life. Thus the Moabites became subject to David, paying tribute.

3 David then defeated Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to re-establish his dominion at the River.

4 David captured from him one thousand seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand foot soldiers. David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but left one hundred for his chariots.
