1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.

Then sent Hiram the King of Tyrus messengers to Dauid, and cedar trees, with masons and carpenters to builde him an house.

2 And David perceived that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted over his people Israel.

Therefore Dauid knewe that the Lord had confirmed him King ouer Israel, and that his kingdome was lift vp on hie, because of his people Israel.

3 And David took other wives in Jerusalem: and he beget sons, and daughters.

Also Dauid tooke moe wiues at Ierusalem, and Dauid begate moe sonnes and daughters.

4 Now these are the names of them that were born to him in Jerusalem: Samua, and Sobad, Nathan, and Solomon,

And these are the names of the children which he had at Ierusalem, Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Salomon,

5 Jebahar, and Elisua, and Eliphalet,

And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,

6 And Noga, and Napheg, and Japhia,

And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Iaphia,

7 Elisama. and Baaliada, and Eliphalet.

And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.

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.

But when the Philistims heard that Dauid was anointed King ouer Israel, all the Philistims came vp to seeke Dauid. And when Dauid heard, he went out against them.

9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the vale of Raphaim.

And the Philistims came, and spred them selues in the valley of Rephaim.

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.

Then Dauid asked counsel at God, saying, Shall I goe vp against the Philistims, and wilt thou deliuer them into mine hande? And the Lord saide vnto him, Goe vp: for I will deliuer them into thine hande.

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.

So they came vp to Baal-perazim, and Dauid smote them there: and Dauid said, God hath deuided mine enemies with mine hande, as waters are deuided: therefore they called the name of that place, Baal-perazim.

12 And they left there their gods, and David commanded that they should be burnt.

And there they had left their gods: and Dauid said, Let them euen be burnt with fire.

13 Another time also the Philistines made an irruption, and spread themselves abroad in the valley.

Againe the Philistims came and spread them selues in the valley.

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.

And when Dauid asked againe counsell at God, God said to him, Thou shalt not goe vp after them, but turne away from them, that thou mayest come vpon them ouer against the mulberie trees.

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.

And when thou hearest the noyse of one going in the toppes of the mulberie trees, then goe out to battel: for God is gone foorth before thee, to smite the hoste of the Philistims.

16 And David did as God had commanded him, and defeated the army of the Philistines, slaying them from Gabaon to Gazera.

So Dauid did as God had commanded him: and they smote the hoste of the Philistims from Gibeon euen to Gezer.

17 And the name of David became famous in all countries, and the Lord made all nations fear him.

And the fame of Dauid went out into all landes, and the Lord brought the feare of him vpon all nations.
