“And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered unto the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams, with the wool.”
Mesha king of Moab was a sheepherder and paid tribute consisting of lambs and wool — Moab's vassal status is established through economic obligation, yet the tribute is temporary. The wealth involved (perhaps related to extensive flocks) speaks to Moab's prosperity under Israelite oversight.
