2 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.
And David knew that YHWH had established him king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel's sake.

8 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.
When the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went out against them.
9 And the Philistims came, and spred them selues in the valley of Rephaim.
Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the Valley of Rephaim.
10 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.
David inquired of God, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?" YHWH said to him, "Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand."
11 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.
So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there; and David said, God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like a breakthrough of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
12 And there they had left their gods: and Dauid said, Let them euen be burnt with fire.
They left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.
13 Againe the Philistims came and spread them selues in the valley.
The Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.
14 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.
And David inquired again of God; and God said to him, "You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come at them opposite the poplar trees.
15 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.
And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, that then you shall go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines."
16 So Dauid did as God had commanded him: and they smote the hoste of the Philistims from Gibeon euen to Gezer.
David did as God commanded him, and he struck the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
17 And the fame of Dauid went out into all landes, and the Lord brought the feare of him vpon all nations.
The fame of David went out into all lands; and YHWH brought the fear of him on all nations.
