⁴ Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheepbreeder, and he ^(A)regularly paid the king of Israel one hundred thousand ^(B)lambs and the wool of one hundred thousand rams.

² Then ^(A)he defeated Moab. Forcing them down to the ground, he measured them off with a line. With two lines he measured off those to be put to death, and with one full line those to be kept alive. So the Moabites became David’s ^(B)servants, and ^(C)brought tribute.

Moab Destroyed

¹² Now the Lord blessed ^(A)the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had ^(B)fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.

³ Also, his possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the greatest of all the ^[a]people of the East.

¹⁰ Also he built towers in the desert. He dug many wells, for he had much livestock, both in the lowlands and in the plains; he also had farmers and vinedressers in the mountains and in ^[a]Carmel, for he loved the soil.

² Then he ^[a]defeated ^(A)Moab, and the Moabites became David’s ^(B)servants, and brought tribute.
