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 length of those to be kept alive. So the Moabites became David’s subjects and brought tribute.^(A)
