1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him a house.
2 And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, because of his people Israel.
3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begot more sons and daughters.
4 And these are the names of the children which he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
6 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7 and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard {of it}, and went out against them.
9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
10 And David inquired of God saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou give them into my hand? And Jehovah said to him, Go up; and I will give them into thy hand.
11 And they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said, God has broken in upon mine enemies by my hand, as the breaking forth of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
12 And they left their gods there; and David commanded, and they were burned with fire.
13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves in the valley.
14 And David inquired again of God; and God said to him, Go not up after them; turn round them and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees.
15 And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will have gone forth before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.
16 And David did as God commanded him; and they smote the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and Jehovah brought the fear of him upon all the nations.
1 Hiiram, Tyyron kuningas, lähetti sanansaattajat Daavidin luo, sekä setripuita ja puuseppiä ja kivenhakkaajia rakentamaan hänelle linnaa.
2 Ja Daavid ymmärsi, että Herra oli vahvistanut hänet Israelin kuninkaaksi, koska hänen kuninkuutensa oli korotettu korkealle Herran kansan Israelin tähden.
3 Jerusalemissa Daavid vielä otti vaimoja, ja Daavidille syntyi vielä poikia ja tyttäriä.
4 Ja nämä ovat niiden poikien nimet, jotka syntyivät hänelle Jerusalemissa: Sammua, Soobab, Naatan, Salomo,
5 Jibhar, Elisua, Elpelet,
6 Noogah, Nefeg, Jaafia,
7 Elisama, Beeljada ja Elifelet.
8 Mutta kun filistealaiset kuulivat, että Daavid oli voideltu koko Israelin kuninkaaksi, lähtivät kaikki filistealaiset etsimään Daavidia. Kun Daavid sen kuuli, lähti hän heitä vastaan.
9 Kun filistealaiset olivat tulleet ja tehneet ryöstöretken Refaimin tasangolle,
12 He jättivät siihen jumalansa, ja Daavid käski polttaa ne tulessa.
13 Mutta filistealaiset tekivät vielä kerran ryöstöretken tasangolle.
16 Daavid teki, niinkuin Jumala oli häntä käskenyt, ja niin he voittivat filistealaisten sotajoukon ja ajoivat heitä takaa Gibeonista aina Geseriin saakka.
17 Niin Daavidin maine levisi kaikkiin maihin, ja Herra nosti kaikissa kansoissa pelon häntä kohtaan.
