1 Og Hiram, Kongen af Tyrus, sendte Bud til David med Cedertræ og Murmestre og Tømmermestre for at bygge ham et Hus.
And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
2 Og David fornam, at Herren havde stadfæstet ham til Konge over Israel; thi hans Rige blev overmaade ophøjet for hans Folks Israels Skyld.
And David perceived that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted over his people Israel.
3 Og David tog endnu Hustruer i Jerusalem, og David avlede endnu Sønner og Døtre.
And David took other wives in Jerusalem: and he beget sons, and daughters.
4 Og disse vare deres Navne, som bleve ham fødte i Jerusalem: Sammua og Sobab, Nathan og Salomo

8 Og der Filisterne hørte, at David var salvet til Konge over hele Israel, da droge alle Filisterne op for at søge efter David; der David hørte det, da drog han ud imod dem.
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 Og Filisterne kom og udbredte sig i Refaims Dal.
And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the vale of Raphaim.
10 Og David spurgte Gud ad og sagde: Skal jeg drage op imod Filisterne? og vil du give dem i min Haand? Og Herren sagde til ham: Drag op, thi jeg vil give dem i din Haand.
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 Og der de droge op til Baal-Perazim, da slog David dem der, og David sagde: Gud har brudt igennem mine Fjender ved min Haand, ligesom Vandet bryder igennem; derfor kaldte man det samme Steds Navn Baal-Perazim.
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 Og de efterlode deres Guder der; og David bød, og de bleve opbrændte med Ild.
And they left there their gods, and David commanded that they should be burnt.
13 Og Filisterne bleve endnu ved og udbredte sig i Dalen.
Another time also the Philistines made an irruption, and spread themselves abroad in the valley.
14 Og David adspurgte Gud ydermere, og Gud sagde til ham: Du skal ikke drage op efter dem, men vend dig fra dem, at du kan komme til dem tværs over for Morbærtræerne.
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 Og det skal ske, naar du hører en Lyd af en Skriden hen over Morbærtræernes Toppe, da skal du drage ud til Striden; thi Gud er udgangen for dit Ansigt at slaa Filisternes Lejr.
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 Og David gjorde, som Gud havde befalet ham, og de sloge Filisternes Lejr fra Gibeon og indtil Geser.
And David did as God had commanded him, and defeated the army of the Philistines, slaying them from Gabaon to Gazera.
17 Og Davids Navn kom ud i alle Landene, og Herren lod Frygt for ham komme over alle Hedninger.
And the name of David became famous in all countries, and the Lord made all nations fear him.
