1 Samuel 22:4New Living TranslationSo David’s parents stayed in Moab with the king during the entire time David was living in his stronghold. See the chapter |
David also conquered the land of Moab. He made the people lie down on the ground in a row, and he measured them off in groups with a length of rope. He measured off two groups to be executed for every one group to be spared. The Moabites who were spared became David’s subjects and paid him tribute money.
