(Occurrence 0) Then he defeated
(Some words not found in UHB: and,defeated DOM Mōʼāⱱites and,measured_~_off,them in/on/at/with,cord lie_down DOM,them towards=land and,measured two_of lengths to,put_to_death and,full the,length to,live and=it_became Mōʼāⱱites to,David as,servants brought donation/offering )

8:2 Moab was on the east side of the Dead Sea. Earlier, the people of Moab had provided David’s parents with refuge during Saul’s reign (1 Sam 22:3-4); David’s great-grandmother, Ruth, was from Moab. For whatever reason, no such fraternal relationship existed any longer.
• two groups to be executed for every one group to be spared: This is the only time in 2 Samuel that David executed captives taken in battle (see Num 21:29; 24:17; Deut 2:9).
