1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.

1 וַ֠יִּשְׁלַח חִירָם חוּרָ֨ם מֶֽלֶךְ־צֹ֥ר מַלְאָכִים֮ אֶל־דָּוִיד֒ וַעֲצֵ֣י אֲרָזִ֔ים וְחָרָשֵׁ֣י קִ֔יר וְחָרָשֵׁ֖י עֵצִ֑ים לִבְנֹ֥ות לֹ֖ו בָּֽיִת׃

2 And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel's sake.

2 וַיֵּ֣דַע דָּוִ֔יד כִּֽי־הֱכִינֹ֧ו יְהוָ֛ה לְמֶ֖לֶךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כִּֽי־נִשֵּׂ֤את לְמַ֙עְלָה֙ מַלְכוּתֹ֔ו בַּעֲב֖וּר עַמֹּ֥ו יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David begat more sons and daughters.

3 וַיִּקַּ֨ח דָּוִ֥יד עֹ֛וד נָשִׁ֖ים בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וַיֹּ֧ולֶד דָּוִ֛יד עֹ֖וד בָּנִ֥ים וּבָנֹֽות׃

4 And these are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

4 וְאֵ֙לֶּה֙ שְׁמֹ֣ות הַיְלוּדִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר הָיוּ־לֹ֖ו בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם שַׁמּ֣וּעַ וְשֹׁובָ֔ב נָתָ֖ן וּשְׁלֹמֹֽה׃

5 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,

5 וְיִבְחָ֥ר וֶאֱלִישׁ֖וּעַ וְאֶלְפָּֽלֶט׃

6 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

6 וְנֹ֥גַהּ וְנֶ֖פֶג וְיָפִֽיעַ׃

7 and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

7 וֶאֱלִישָׁמָ֥ע וּבְעֶלְיָדָ֖ע וֶאֱלִיפָֽלֶט׃

8 And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went out against them.

8 וַיִּשְׁמְע֣וּ פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים כִּי־נִמְשַׁ֨ח דָּוִ֤יד לְמֶ֙לֶךְ֙ עַל־כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיַּעֲל֥וּ כָל־פְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים לְבַקֵּ֣שׁ אֶת־דָּוִ֑יד וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע דָּוִ֔יד וַיֵּצֵ֖א לִפְנֵיהֶֽם׃

9 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.

9 וּפְלִשְׁתִּ֖ים בָּ֑אוּ וַֽיִּפְשְׁט֖וּ בְּעֵ֥מֶק רְפָאִֽים׃

10 And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Jehovah said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thy hand.

10 וַיִּשְׁאַ֨ל דָּוִ֤יד בֵּאלֹהִים֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר הַאֶֽעֱלֶה֙ עַל־ פְּלִשְׁתִּיִּים פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים וּנְתַתָּ֖ם בְּיָדִ֑י וַיֹּ֨אמֶר לֹ֤ו יְהוָה֙ עֲלֵ֔ה וּנְתַתִּ֖ים בְּיָדֶֽךָ׃

11 So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said, God hath broken mine enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

11 וַיַּעֲל֥וּ בְּבַֽעַל־פְּרָצִים֮ וַיַּכֵּ֣ם שָׁ֣ם דָּוִיד֒ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִ֔יד פָּרַ֨ץ הָֽאֱלֹהִ֧ים אֶת־אֹויְבַ֛י בְּיָדִ֖י כְּפֶ֣רֶץ מָ֑יִם עַל־כֵּ֗ן קָֽרְא֛וּ שֵֽׁם־הַמָּקֹ֥ום הַה֖וּא בַּ֥עַל פְּרָצִֽים׃

12 And they left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.

12 וַיַּעַזְבוּ־שָׁ֖ם אֶת־אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶ֑ם וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִ֔יד וַיִּשָּׂרְפ֖וּ בָּאֵֽשׁ׃

13 And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.

13 וַיֹּסִ֤יפוּ עֹוד֙ פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים וַֽיִּפְשְׁט֖וּ בָּעֵֽמֶק׃

14 And David inquired again of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees.

14 וַיִּשְׁאַ֨ל עֹ֤וד דָּוִיד֙ בֵּֽאלֹהִ֔ים וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לֹו֙ הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים לֹ֥א תַֽעֲלֶ֖ה אַֽחֲרֵיהֶ֑ם הָסֵב֙ מֵֽעֲלֵיהֶ֔ם וּבָ֥אתָ לָהֶ֖ם מִמּ֥וּל הַבְּכָאִֽים׃

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 is gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.

15 וִ֠יהִי כְּֽשָׁמְעֲךָ֞ אֶת־קֹ֤ול הַצְּעָדָה֙ בְּרָאשֵׁ֣י הַבְּכָאִ֔ים אָ֖ז תֵּצֵ֣א בַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה כִּֽי־יָצָ֤א הָֽאֱלֹהִים֙ לְפָנֶ֔יךָ לְהַכֹּ֖ות אֶת־מַחֲנֵ֥ה פְלִשְׁתִּֽים׃

16 And David did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

16 וַיַּ֣עַשׂ דָּוִ֔יד כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֖הוּ הָֽאֱלֹהִ֑ים וַיַּכּוּ֙ אֶת־מַחֲנֵ֣ה פְלִשְׁתִּ֔ים מִגִּבְעֹ֖ון וְעַד־גָּֽזְרָה׃

17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and Jehovah brought the fear of him upon all nations.

17 וַיֵּצֵ֥א שֵׁם־דָּוִ֖יד בְּכָל־הָֽאֲרָצֹ֑ות וַֽיהוָ֛ה נָתַ֥ן אֶת־פַּחְדֹּ֖ו עַל־כָּל־הַגֹּויִֽם׃
