Kings II 5
1 And all the tribes of Israel come to David to Chebron, and they said to him, Behold, we [are] your bone and your flesh.
以色列眾支派來到希伯崙見大衛，說：「我們原是你的骨肉。
2 And heretofore Saul being king over us, you was he that did lead out and bring in Israel: and the Lord said to you, You shall feed my people Israel, and you shall be for a leader to my people Israel.
從前掃羅作我們王的時候，率領以色列人出入的是你；耶和華也曾應許你說：『你必牧養我的民以色列，作以色列的君。』」
3 And all the elders of Israel come to the king to Chebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Chebron before the Lord; and they anoint David king over all Israel.
於是以色列的長老都來到希伯崙見大衛王，大衛在希伯崙耶和華面前與他們立約，他們就膏大衛作以色列的王。
4 David [was] thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
大衛登基的時候年三十歲，在位四十年；
5 Seven years and six months he reigned in Chebron over Juda, and thirty-three years he reigned over all Israel and Juda in Jerusalem.
在希伯崙作猶大王七年零六個月，在耶路撒冷作以色列和猶大王三十三年。
6 And David and his men, departed to Jerusalem, to the Jebusite that inhabited the land: and it was said to David, You shall not come in hither: for the blind and the lame withstood him, saying, David shall not come in hither.
大衛和跟隨他的人到了耶路撒冷，要攻打住那地方的耶布斯人。耶布斯人對大衛說：「你若不趕出瞎子、瘸子，必不能進這地方」；心裏想大衛決不能進去。
7 And David took first the hold of Sion: this [is] the city of David.
然而大衛攻取錫安的保障，就是大衛的城。
8 And David said on that day, Every one that smites the Jebusite, let him attack with the dagger both the lame and the blind, and those that hate the soul of David. Therefore they say, The lame and the blind shall not enter into the house of the Lord.
當日，大衛說：「誰攻打耶布斯人，當上水溝攻打我心裏所恨惡的瘸子、瞎子。」從此有俗語說：「在那裏有瞎子、瘸子，他不能進屋去。」
9 And David lived in the hold, and it was called the city of David, and he built the city itself round about from the citadel, and [he built] his own house.
大衛住在保障裏，給保障起名叫大衛城。大衛又從米羅以裏，周圍築牆。
10 And David advanced and became great, and the Lord Almighty [was] with him.
大衛日見強盛，因為耶和華－萬軍之上帝與他同在。
11 And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar wood, and carpenters, and stone-masons: and they built a house for David.
泰爾王希蘭將香柏木運到大衛那裏，又差遣使者和木匠、石匠給大衛建造宮殿。
12 And David knew that the Lord had prepared him to be king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted for the sake of his people Israel.
大衛就知道耶和華堅立他作以色列王，又為自己的民以色列使他的國興旺。
13 And David took again wives and concubines out of Jerusalem, after he came from Chebron: and David had still more sons and daughters born to him.
大衛離開希伯崙之後，在耶路撒冷又立后妃，又生兒女。
14 And these [are] the names of those that were born to him in Jerusalem; Sammus, and Sobab, and Nathan, and Solomon.
在耶路撒冷所生的兒子是沙母亞、朔罷、拿單、所羅門、
15 And Ebear, and Elisue, and Naphec, and Jephies.
益轄、以利書亞、尼斐、雅非亞、
16 And Elisama, and Elidae, and Eliphalath, Samae, Jessibath, Nathan, Galamaan, Jebaar, Theesus, Eliphalat, Naged, Naphec, Janathan, Leasamys, Baalimath, Eliphaath.
以利沙瑪、以利雅大、以利法列。
17 And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over Israel; and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the strong hold.
非利士人聽見人膏大衛作以色列王，非利士眾人就上來尋索大衛；大衛聽見，就下到保障。
18 And the Philistines came, and assembled in the valley of the giants.
非利士人來了，布散在利乏音谷。
19 And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and will you deliver them into my hands? and the Lord said to David, Go up, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hands.
大衛求問耶和華說：「我可以上去攻打非利士人嗎？你將他們交在我手裏嗎？」耶和華說：「你可以上去，我必將非利士人交在你手裏。」
20 And David came from Upper Breaches, and struck the Philistines there: and David said, The Lord has destroyed the hostile Philistines before me, as water is dispersed; therefore the name of that place was called Over Breaches.
大衛來到巴力‧毗拉心，在那裏擊殺非利士人，說：「耶和華在我面前沖破敵人，如同水沖去一般。」因此稱那地方為巴力‧毗拉心。
21 And they leave there their gods, and David and his men with him took them.
非利士人將偶像撇在那裏，大衛和跟隨他的人拿去了。
22 And the Philistines came up yet again, and assembled in the valley of Giants.
非利士人又上來，布散在利乏音谷。
23 And David enquired of the Lord: and the Lord said, You shall not go up to meet them: turn from them, and you shall meet them near the place of weeping.
大衛求問耶和華；耶和華說：「不要一直地上去，要轉到他們後頭，從桑林對面攻打他們。
24 And it shall come to pass when you hear the sound of a clashing together from the grove of weeping, then you shall go down to them, for then the Lord shall go forth before you to make havoc in the battle with the Philistines.
你聽見桑樹梢上有腳步的聲音，就要急速前去，因為那時耶和華已經在你前頭去攻打非利士人的軍隊。」
25 And David did as the Lord commanded him, and struck the Philistines from Gabaon as far as the land of Gazera.
大衛就遵着耶和華所吩咐的去行，攻打非利士人，從迦巴直到基色。
