1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and spoke, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

And they came all [the] tribes of Israel to David Hebron towards and they said saying here [are] we [are] bone your and flesh your we.

2 In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led Israel out and in. The LORD said to you, ‘You will be shepherd of my people Israel, and you will be prince over Israel.’”

Both yesterday as well as three days ago when was Saul king over us you (you were *Q(k)*) (the [one who] led out *Q(K)*) (and the [one who] brought *Q(k)*) Israel and he said Yahweh to you you you will shepherd people my Israel and you you will become ruler over Israel.

3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel.

And they came all [the] elders of Israel to the king Hebron towards and he made to them the king David a covenant at Hebron before Yahweh and they anointed David to king over Israel.

4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.

5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.

6 The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, “The blind and the lame will keep you out of here,” thinking, “David cannot come in here.”

And he went the king and men his Jerusalem against the Jebusite[s] [the] inhabitant[s] of the land and it said to David saying not you will come here that except he will turn aside you the blind [people] and the lame [people] saying not he will come David here.

7 Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. This is David’s city.

And he captured David [the] stronghold of Zion it [is] [the] city of David.

8 David said on that day, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him go up to the watercourse and strike those lame and blind, who are hated by David’s soul.” Therefore they say, “The blind and the lame cannot come into the house.”

And he said David on the day that any [one who] strikes a Jebusite and let him approach by the water tunnel the lame [people] and the blind [people] ([who are] hated *Q(K)*) of [the] self of David there-fore people say a blind [person] and a lame [person] not he will go into the house.

9 David lived in the stronghold, and called it David’s city. David built around from Millo and inward.

And he dwelt David in the stronghold and he called it [the] city of David and he built David round about from the Millo and [the] inside towards.

And he sent Hiram [the] king of Tyre messengers to David and trees of cedars and craftsmen of wood and craftsmen of [the] stone of a wall and they built a house for David.

12 David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.

And he knew David that he had appointed him Yahweh to king over Israel and that he had exalted kingdom his for sake of people his Israel.

13 David took more concubines and wives for himself out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and more sons and daughters were born to David.

And he took David again concubines and wives from Jerusalem after came he from Hebron and they were born again to David sons and daughters.

14 These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

17 When the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David, but David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.

And they heard [the] Philistines that people had anointed David to king over Israel and they went up all [the] Philistines to seek David and he heard David and he went down to the stronghold.

18 Now the Philistines had come and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

And [the] Philistines they came and they were spread out in [the] valley of Rephaim.

19 David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” The LORD said to David, “Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your hand.”

And he enquired David by Yahweh saying ¿ will I go up against [the] Philistines ¿ will you give them in hand my and he said Yahweh to David go up for certainly I will give the Philistines in hand your.

20 David came to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there. Then he said, “The LORD has broken my enemies before me, like the breach of waters.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

And he went David in Baal Perazim and he struck down them there David and he said he has burst through Yahweh enemies my before me like a bursting out of water there-fore someone called [the] name of the place that Baal Perazim.

21 They left their images there, and David and his men took them away.

And they abandoned there idols their and he carried off them David and men his.

22 The Philistines came up yet again and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

And they repeated again [the] Philistines to go up and they were spread out in [the] valley of Rephaim.

23 When David inquired of the LORD, he said, “You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them in front of the mulberry trees.

And he enquired David by Yahweh and he said not you must go up go around to behind them and you will go to them from in front of [the] balsam trees.

24 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then stir yourself up; for then the LORD has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”

And let it be (just as hearing you *Q(K)*) a sound of marching in [the] tops of the balsam trees then you will act decisively for then he has gone out Yahweh before you to strike [the] camp of [the] Philistines.

25 David did so, as the LORD commanded him, and struck the Philistines all the way from Geba to Gezer.

And he did David so just as he had commanded him Yahweh and he struck down [the] Philistines from Geba until coming you Gezer.
