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.
Et venerunt universæ tribus Israël ad David in Hebron, dicentes: Ecce nos os tuum et caro tua sumus.
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.
Sed et heri et nudiustertius cum esset Saul rex super nos, tu eras educens et reducens Israël: dixit autem Dominus ad te: Tu pasces populum meum Israël, et tu eris dux super Israël.
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.
Venerunt quoque et seniores Israël ad regem in Hebron, et percussit cum eis rex David fœdus in Hebron coram Domino: unxeruntque David in regem super Israël.
4 David [was] thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
Filius triginta annorum erat David cum regnare cœpisset, et quadraginta annis regnavit.
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.
In Hebron regnavit super Judam septem annis et sex mensibus: in Jerusalem autem regnavit triginta tribus annis super omnem Israël et Judam.
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.
Et abiit rex, et omnes viri qui erant cum eo, in Jerusalem, ad Jebusæum habitatorem terræ: dictumque est David ab eis: Non ingredieris huc, nisi abstuleris cæcos et claudos dicentes: Non ingredietur David huc.
7 And David took first the hold of Sion: this [is] the city of David.
Cepit autem David arcem Sion: hæc est civitas David.
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.
Proposuerat enim David in die illa præmium, qui percussisset Jebusæum, et tetigisset domatum fistulas, et abstulisset cæcos et claudos odientes animam David. Idcirco dicitur in proverbio: Cæcus et claudus non intrabunt in templum.
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.
Habitavit autem David in arce, et vocavit eam civitatem David: et ædificavit per gyrum a Mello et intrinsecus.
10 And David advanced and became great, and the Lord Almighty [was] with him.
Et ingrediebatur proficiens atque succrescens, et Dominus Deus exercituum erat cum eo.
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.
Misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri nuntios ad David, et ligna cedrina, et artifices lignorum, artificesque lapidum ad parietes: et ædificaverunt domum David.
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.
Et cognovit David quoniam confirmasset eum Dominus regem super Israël, et quoniam exaltasset regnum ejus super populum suum Israël.
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.
Accepit ergo David adhuc concubinas et uxores de Jerusalem, postquam venerat de Hebron: natique sunt David et alii filii et filiæ:
14 And these [are] the names of those that were born to him in Jerusalem; Sammus, and Sobab, and Nathan, and Solomon.
et hæc nomina eorum, qui nati sunt ei in Jerusalem: Samua, et Sobab, et Nathan, et Salomon,
15 And Ebear, and Elisue, and Naphec, and Jephies.
et Jebahar, et Elisua, et Nepheg,
16 And Elisama, and Elidae, and Eliphalath, Samae, Jessibath, Nathan, Galamaan, Jebaar, Theesus, Eliphalat, Naged, Naphec, Janathan, Leasamys, Baalimath, Eliphaath.
et Japhia, et Elisama, et Elioda, et Eliphaleth.
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.
Audierunt ergo Philisthiim quod unxissent David in regem super Israël, et ascenderunt universi ut quærerent David: quod cum audisset David, descendit in præsidium.
18 And the Philistines came, and assembled in the valley of the giants.
Philisthiim autem venientes diffusi sunt in valle Raphaim.
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.
Et consuluit David Dominum, dicens: Si ascendam ad Philisthiim? et si dabis eos in manu mea? Et dixit Dominus ad David: Ascende, quia tradens dabo Philisthiim in manu tua.
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.
Venit ergo David in Baal Pharasim: et percussit eos ibi, et dixit: Divisit Dominus inimicos meos coram me, sicut dividuntur aquæ. Propterea vocatum est nomen loci illius, Baal Pharasim.
21 And they leave there their gods, and David and his men with him took them.
Et reliquerunt ibi sculptilia sua, quæ tulit David et viri ejus.
22 And the Philistines came up yet again, and assembled in the valley of Giants.
Et addiderunt adhuc Philisthiim ut ascenderent, et diffusi sunt in valle Raphaim.
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.
Consuluit autem David Dominum: Si ascendam contra Philisthæos, et tradas eos in manus meas? Qui respondit: Non ascendas contra eos, sed gyra post tergum eorum, et venies ad eos ex adverso pyrorum.
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.
Et cum audieris sonitum gradientis in cacumine pyrorum, tunc inibis prælium: quia tunc egredietur Dominus ante faciem tuam, ut percutiat castra Philisthiim.
25 And David did as the Lord commanded him, and struck the Philistines from Gabaon as far as the land of Gazera.
Fecit itaque David sicut præceperat ei Dominus, et percussit Philisthiim de Gabaa usque dum venias Gezer.
