1 Samuel 22:4New Century VersionSo he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with him as long as David was hiding in the stronghold. See the chapter |
He also defeated the people of Moab. He made them lie on the ground, and then he used a rope to measure them. Those who were measured within two rope lengths were killed, but those who were within the next rope length were allowed to live. So the people of Moab became servants of David and gave him the payment he demanded.
