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.
David derrotó a los moabitas y los hizo acostarse en el suelo. Usó una cuerda de medir para dividirlos en grupos: dos grupos fueron ejecutados y un grupo se le permitió vivir. Los moabitas sobrevivientes se convirtieron en súbditos de David y le pagaron tributo.
David conquistó a los moabitas, ejecutó a dos tercios de ellos y convirtió al resto en sus súbditos tributarios.
📚 Contexto Histórico
During King David's reign, Israel was expanding its territory through military conquests as God fulfilled His promises to give the land to His people, following David's establishment as king after Saul's death. The Moabites, who had a history of enmity with Israel and had oppressed them in the past, were defeated in battle by David's forces. This victory allowed David to subjugate them, using a method of measurement to determine the fate of captives, which was a common ancient practice in warfare to enforce dominance and tribute.
