2 Porazi i Moapce i izmjeri ih uzicom polegavši ih po zemlji: dvije uzice odmjeri onih koje treba pogubiti, a jednu punu uzicu onih koje treba ostaviti na životu. Tako Moapci postadoše Davidovi podanici koji su mu donosili danak.

10 poslao je svoga sina Hadorama kralju Davidu da ga pozdravi i da mu čestita što je vojevao protiv Hadadezera i porazio ga, jer je Hadadezer bio u ratu s Touom; Hadoram donese srebrnih, zlatnih i tučanih predmeta.
