And David felt conscious that the Lord had established him as king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, because of his people Israel.

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

8 Israel boeih kah manghai la David a koelh te Philisti loh a yaak vaengah David tlap hamla Philisti pum loh cet uh. Tedae David loh a yaak coeng dongah amih mikhmuh la cet.

But when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went out against them.

9 Philisti rhoek a pawk vaengah Rephaim kol la capit uh.

And the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim.

10 Tedae David loh Pathen te a dawt tih, “Philisti taengla ka cet koinih Philisti te ka kut dongah nan tloeng aya?” a ti nah. Te dongah BOEIPA loh anih te, “Cet lamtah amih te na kut ah kan tloeng bitni,” a ti nah.

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

11 Te dongah Baalperazim la cet uh dae amih te David loh pahoi a ngawn. Te vaengah David loh, “Pathen loh ka thunkha te tui puut bangla kamah kut ah a va coeng,” a ti. Te dongah te hmuen ming te Baalperazim la a khue.

And they came up to Ba'al-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken down my enemies through my hand as a breach [is made] by water: therefore they called the name of that place Ba'al-perazim.

12 Te vaengah amamih kah pathen te pahoi a toeng uh coeng dongah David loh a ti nah bangla hmai neh a hoeh uh.

And they left behind there their gods, and David gave the order, and they were burnt with fire.

13 Te phoeiah Philisti loh koep a khoep tih kol ah capit uh bal.

And the Philistines [came] once again, and spread themselves out in the valley.

14 Te dongah David loh Pathen te koep a dawt tih, Pathen loh anih te, “Amih hnukah cet boeh. A so lamloh vael lamtah amih te tikti rhaldan ah cuuk.

And David asked again counsel of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn about from them, and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees,

15 Tikti soi ah haeksak ol na yaak van neh caemtloek la thoeih uh. Philisti caem ngawn hamla nang hmai ah Pathen cet coeng,” a ti nah.

And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of walking on the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will be gone forth before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.

16 David long khaw Pathen kah a uen bangla a saii tangloeng. Te dongah Philisti caem te Gibeon lamloh Gezer duela a ngawn uh.

And David did as God had commanded him; and they smote the camp of the Philistines from Gib'on as far as Gezer.

17 Te dongah David ming te diklai pum ah thang. BOEIPA loh a birhihnah te namtom cungkuem soah a khueh.

And the fame of David went out into all the lands; and the Lord laid the dread of him upon all the nations.
