2 Samuel 8:2; 2 Samuel 17:13; 2 Samuel 22:6

2 Samuel 8:2

2 David also defeated the Moabites. He made them lie down on the ground and measured them off with a length of cord. Every two lengths of them were put to death, and the third length was allowed to live. So the Moabites became subject to David and brought him tribute.

2 Samuel 17:13

13 If he withdraws into a city, then all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we will drag it down to the valley until not so much as a pebble is left.”

2 Samuel 22:6

6 The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me.
