第八章 2 Samuel 8
1.此後,大衛攻打非利士人,把他們治服,從他們手下奪取了京城的權柄【原文作母城的嚼環】;
In the course of time, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and he took Metheg Ammah from the control of the Philistines.
2.又攻打摩押人,使他們躺臥在地上,用繩量一量:量二繩的殺了,量一繩的存留。摩押人就歸服大衛,給他進貢。
David also defeated the Moabites. He made them lie down on the ground and measured them off with a length of cord. Every two lengths of them were put to death, and the third length was allowed to live. So the Moabites became subject to David and brought him tribute.
