2 Samuel 8

2 Samuel 8:2

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.

He subdued the country of Moab, and divided it out, as he thought good; casting down their cities; and so proportioning his execution, that he put to death two parts of the inhabitants, and suffered one third part, at the least, to live and become tributary.

2 Samuel 8:9

There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone.

Within the ark under the cover thereof, there was nothing but the two tables of the Law; but on the verge of the ark, were Aaron’s blossomed rod and the pot of manna reserved.
