2 And David perceived that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted over his people Israel.
Da skønnede David, at HERREN havde sikret hans Kongemagt over Israel og højnet hans Kongedømme for sit Folk Israels Skyld.

8 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.
Men da Fiilisterne hørte, at David var salvet til Konge over hele Israel, rykkede de alle ud for at søge efter ham. Ved Efterretningen herom drog David ud for at møde dem,
9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the vale of Raphaim.
medens Filisterne kom og bredte sig i Refaimdalen.
10 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.
David rådspurgte da Gud: "Skal jeg drage op mod Filisterne? Vil du give dem i min Hånd?" Og HERREN svarede ham: "Drag op, thi jeg vil give dem i din Hånd!"
11 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.
Så drog de op til Ba'al-Perazim, og der slog han dem. Da sagde David: "Gud har brudt igennem mine Fjender ved min Hånd, som Vand bryder igennem!" Derfor kalder man Stedet Ba'al-Perazim.
12 And they left there their gods, and David commanded that they should be burnt.
Og de lod deres Guder i Stikken der, og David bød, at de skulde opbrændes.
13 Another time also the Philistines made an irruption, and spread themselves abroad in the valley.
Men Filisterne bredte sig på ny i Dalen.
14 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.
Da David atter rådspurgte Gud, svarede han: "Drag ikke efter dem, men omgå dem og fald dem i Ryggen ud for Bakabuskene.
15 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.
Når du da hører Lyden af Skridt i Bakabuskenes Toppe, skal du drage i Kamp, thi så er Gud draget ud foran dig for at slå Filisternes Hær."
16 And David did as God had commanded him, and defeated the army of the Philistines, slaying them from Gabaon to Gazera.
David gjorde, som Gud bød, og de slog Filisternes Hær fra Gibeon til hen imod Gezer.
17 And the name of David became famous in all countries, and the Lord made all nations fear him.
Og Davids Ry bredte sig i alle Lande, idet HERREN Iod Frygt for ham komme over alle Hedningefolkene.
