³⁷ The firstborn gave birth to a son and named him Moab.^[a] He is the father of the Moabites of today.^(A)

² He also defeated the Moabites, and after making them lie down on the ground, he measured them off with a cord. He measured every two cord lengths of those to be put to death and one full length of those to be kept alive. So the Moabites became David’s subjects and brought tribute.^(A)
