< 2 Samuel 5 >

1 And they came all [the] tribes of Israel to David Hebron towards and they said saying here [are] we [are] bone your and flesh your we.
Then all the tribes of Israel came to David in Hebron, saying: Behold we are thy bone and thy flesh.
2 Both yesterday as well as three days ago when was Saul king over us you (you were *Q(k)*) (the [one who] led out *Q(K)*) (and the [one who] brought *Q(k)*) Israel and he said Yahweh to you you you will shepherd people my Israel and you you will become ruler over Israel.
Moreover yesterday also and the day before, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that did lead out and bring in Israel: and the Lord said to thee: Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel.
3 And they came all [the] elders of Israel to the king Hebron towards and he made to them the king David a covenant at Hebron before Yahweh and they anointed David to king over Israel.
The ancients also of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anointed David to be king over Israel.
4 [was] a son of Thirty year[s] David when became king he forty year[s] he reigned.
David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.

In Hebron he reigned over Juda seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned three and thirty years over all Israel and Juda.
6 And he went the king and men his Jerusalem against the Jebusite[s] [the] inhabitant[s] of the land and it said to David saying not you will come here that except he will turn aside you the blind [people] and the lame [people] saying not he will come David here.
And the king and all the men that were with him went to Jerusalem to the Jebusites the inhabitants of the land: and they said to David: Thou shalt not come in hither unless thou take away the blind and the lame that say: David shall not come in hither.
7 And he captured David [the] stronghold of Zion it [is] [the] city of David.
But David took the castle of Sion, the same is the city of David.
8 And he said David on the day that any [one who] strikes a Jebusite and let him approach by the water tunnel the lame [people] and the blind [people] ([who are] hated *Q(K)*) of [the] self of David there-fore people say a blind [person] and a lame [person] not he will go into the house.
For David had offered that day a reward to whosoever should strike the Jebusites and get up to the gutters of the tops of the houses, and take away the blind and the lame that hated the soul of David: therefore it is said in the proverb: The blind and the lame shall not come into the temple.
9 And he dwelt David in the stronghold and he called it [the] city of David and he built David round about from the Millo and [the] inside towards.
And David dwelt in the castle, and called it, The city of David: and built round about from Mello and inwards.
10 And he went David going and becoming great and Yahweh [the] God of hosts [was] with him.
And he went on prospering and growing up, and the Lord God of hosts was with him.

And Hiram the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons for walls: and they built a house for David.
12 And he knew David that he had appointed him Yahweh to king over Israel and that he had exalted kingdom his for sake of people his Israel.
And David knew that the Lord bad confirmed him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom over his people Israel.
13 And he took David again concubines and wives from Jerusalem after came he from Hebron and they were born again to David sons and daughters.
And David took more concubines and wives of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were born to David other sons also and daughters:
14 And these [are] [the] names of the [ones] born to him in Jerusalem Shammua and Shobab and Nathan and Solomon.
And these are the names of them, that were born to him in Jerusalem, Samua, and Sobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
15 And Ibhar and Elishua and Nepheg and Japhia.
And Jebahar, and Elisua, and Nepheg,
16 And Elishama and Eliada and Eliphelet.

17 And they heard [the] Philistines that people had anointed David to king over Israel and they went up all [the] Philistines to seek David and he heard David and he went down to the stronghold.
And the Philistines heard that they had anointed David to be king over Israel: and they all came to seek David: and when David heard of it, he went down to a strong hold.
18 And [the] Philistines they came and they were spread out in [the] valley of Rephaim.
And the Philistines coming spread themselves in the valley of Raphaim.
19 And he enquired David by Yahweh saying ¿ will I go up against [the] Philistines ¿ will you give them in hand my and he said Yahweh to David go up for certainly I will give the Philistines in hand your.
And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up to the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to David: Go up, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into thy hand.
20 And he went David in Baal Perazim and he struck down them there David and he said he has burst through Yahweh enemies my before me like a bursting out of water there-fore someone called [the] name of the place that Baal Perazim.
And David came to Baal Pharisim: and defeated them there, and he said: The Lord hath divided my enemies before me, as waters are divided. Therefore the name of the place was called Baal Pharisim.
21 And they abandoned there idols their and he carried off them David and men his.
And they left there their idols: which David and his men took away.
22 And they repeated again [the] Philistines to go up and they were spread out in [the] valley of Rephaim.
And the Philistines came up again and spread themselves in the valley of Raphaim.
23 And he enquired David by Yahweh and he said not you must go up go around to behind them and you will go to them from in front of [the] balsam trees.
And David consulted the Lord: Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into my hands? He answered: Go not up against them, but fetch a compass behind them, and thou shalt come upon them over against the pear trees.
24 And let it be (just as hearing you *Q(K)*) a sound of marching in [the] tops of the balsam trees then you will act decisively for then he has gone out Yahweh before you to strike [the] camp of [the] Philistines.
And when thou shalt hear the sound of one going in the tops of the pear trees, then shalt thou join battle: for then will the Lord go out before thy face to strike the army of the Philistines.
25 And he did David so just as he had commanded him Yahweh and he struck down [the] Philistines from Geba until coming you Gezer.
And David did as the Lord had commanded him, and he smote the Philistines from Gabaa until thou come to Gezer.
