And he smote 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. And the Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.

And he overcame the Moabites, and he had them measured with a line when they were stretched out on the earth; marking out two lines for death and one full line for life. So the Moabites became servants to David and gave him offerings.

Και επαταξε τους Μωαβιτας και διεμετρησεν αυτους δια σχοινιων, απλωσας αυτους κατα γης· και διεμετρησε δια δυο σχοινιων δια να θανατωση, και δι' ενος πληρους σχοινιου δια να αφηση ζωντας. Ουτως οι Μωαβιται εγειναν δουλοι του Δαβιδ υποτελεις.

And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought gifts.
