And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
2 Tada David spozna da ga je Jahve potvrdio za kralja nad Izraelom i da je uzvisio njegovo kraljevstvo radi svojega izraelskog naroda.
And David perceived that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted over his people Israel.
3 David je uzeo još žena u Jeruzalemu i imao još sinova i kćeri.
And David took other wives in Jerusalem: and he beget sons, and daughters.
4 Evo imena djece koja mu se rodiše u Jeruzalemu: Šamua, Šobab, Natan, Salomon,
Now these are the names of them that were born to him in Jerusalem: Samua, and Sobad, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 Jibhar, Elišua, Elpalet,
Jebahar, and Elisua, and Eliphalet,
6 Nogah, Nefeg, Jafija,

8 Kad su Filistejci čuli da su Davida pomazali za kralja nad svim Izraelom, iziđoše svi da se dočepaju Davida. David, čuvši to, iziđe pred njih.
And the Philistines hearing that David was anointed king over all Israel, went all up to seek him: and David heard of it, and went out against them.
9 Filistejci dođoše i raširiše se po Refaimskoj dolini.
And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the vale of Raphaim.
10 Tada David upita Boga: “Mogu li napasti Filistejce? Hoćeš li ih predati meni u ruke?” Jahve mu odgovori: “Napadni, jer ću ih predati tebi u ruke!”
And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him: Go up, and I will deliver them into thy hand.
11 Tada krenuše u Baal Perasim i David ih ondje pobi. David reče: “Bog je prodro među moje neprijatelje mojom rukom, kao što voda prodire.” Stoga se ono mjesto prozvalo Baal Perasim.
And when they were come to Baalpharasim, David defeated them there, and he said: God hath divided my enemies by my hand, as waters are divided: and therefore the name of that place was called Baalpharasim.
12 Ostavili su ondje svoje bogove; a David zapovjedi da ih spale.
And they left there their gods, and David commanded that they should be burnt.
13 Opet se Filistejci raširiše po onoj dolini.
Another time also the Philistines made an irruption, and spread themselves abroad in the valley.
14 David opet upita Boga, a Bog mu odgovori: “Ne idi za njima nego ih opkoli i navali na njih s protivne strane Bekaima.
And David consulted God again, and God said to him: Go not up after them, turn away from them, and come upon them over against the pear trees.
15 Pa kad začuješ topot koraka po bekaimskim vrhovima, onda izađi u boj, jer će tada ići Bog pred tobom da pobije filistejsku vojsku.”
And when thou shalt hear the sound of one going in the tops of the pear trees, then shalt thou go out to battle. For God is gone out before thee to strike the army of the Philistines.
16 David učini kako mu je zapovjedio Bog; i pobili su filistejsku vojsku od Gibeona do Gezera.
And David did as God had commanded him, and defeated the army of the Philistines, slaying them from Gabaon to Gazera.
17 Davidovo se ime pročulo po svim zemljama, a Jahve uli strah od njega svim narodima.
And the name of David became famous in all countries, and the Lord made all nations fear him.
