וַיַּ֣ךְ אֶת־מוֹאָ֗ב וַֽיְמַדְּדֵ֤ם בַּחֶ֙בֶל֙ הַשְׁכֵּ֣ב אוֹתָ֣ם אַ֔רְצָה וַיְמַדֵּ֤ד שְׁנֵֽי־חֲבָלִים֙ לְהָמִ֔ית וּמְלֹ֥א הַחֶ֖בֶל לְהַחֲי֑וֹת וַתְּהִ֤י מוֹאָב֙ לְדָוִ֔ד לַעֲבָדִ֖ים נֹשְׂאֵ֥י מִנְחָֽה׃
Tinalo rin niya ang Moab. Sinukat niya sila sa pamamagitan ng lubid, matapos niyang ipahiga sila sa lupa. Ang sinukat ng dalawang haba ng lubid ay ipinapatay, at ang sinukat ng isang buong haba ng lubid ay hinayaang mabuhay. At ang mga Moabita ay naging mga alipin ni David na nagdadala sa kanya ng buwis.
Zohar
When they came to R. Simeon they told him what had happened. He was greatly astonished, and said: ‘This is indeed excellent, but he will not make a name. When a thin stick burns it burns only for a little time.’
Zohar
It is written, “His seed shall be mighty upon earth, the generation of the upright shall be blessed” (Ps. 112, 2). When a man is mighty on the earth, mighty in the Torah and in control of his passions, then his light goes forth and is continued through many generations.’
