1 And Huram king of Tyre sendeth messengers unto David, and cedar-wood, and artificers of walls, and artificers of wood, to build to him a house.
And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar timbers, and masons, and carpenters, to build a house for him.
2 And David knoweth that Jehovah hath established him for king over Israel, because of the lifting up on high of his kingdom, for the sake of His people Israel.
And David knew that the Lord [had] designed him to be king over Israel; because his kingdom was highly exalted, on account of his people Israel.
3 And David taketh again wives in Jerusalem, and David begetteth again sons and daughters;
And David took more wives in Jerusalem: and there were born to David more sons and daughters.
4 and these [are] the names of the children whom he hath in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
And these [are] the names of those that were born, who were [born] to him in Jerusalem; Samaa, Sobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
and Baar, and Elisa, and Eliphaleth,
6 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
and Nageth, and Naphath, and Japhie,
7 and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
and Elisamae, and Eliade, and Eliphala.
8 And the Philistines hear that David hath been anointed for king over all Israel, and all the Philistines go up to seek David, and David heareth, and goeth out before them.
And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel: and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard [it], and went out to meet them.
9 And the Philistines have come, and rush into the valley of Rephaim,
And the Philistines came and assembled together in the giants' valley.
10 and David asketh of God, saying, 'Do I go up against the Philistines — and hast Thou given them into my hand?' And Jehovah saith to him, 'Go up, and I have given them into thy hand.'
And David enquired of God, 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 hands.
11 And they go up into Baal-Perazim, and David smiteth them there, and David saith, 'God hath broken up mine enemies by my hand, like the breaking up of waters;' therefore they have called the name of that place Baal-Perazim.
And he went up to Baal Pharasin, and David smote them there; and David said, God has broken through enemies by my hand like a breach of water: therefore he called the name of that place, the Breach of Pharasin.
12 And they leave there their gods, and David speaketh, and they are burnt with fire.
And the Philistines left their gods there; and David gave orders to burn them with fire.
13 And the Philistines add again, and rush into the valley,
And the Philistines once more assembled themselves in the giants' valley.
14 and David asketh again of God, and God saith to him, 'Do not go up after them, turn round from them, and thou hast come to them from over-against the mulberries;
And David enquired of God again; and God said to him, Thou shalt not go after them; turn away from them, and thou shalt come upon them near the pear trees.
15 and it cometh to pass, when thou hearest the sound of the stepping at the heads of the mulberries, then thou goest out into battle, for God hath gone out before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.'
And it shall be, when thou shalt hear the sound of their tumult in the tops of the pear trees, then thou shalt go into the battle: for God has gone out before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.
16 And David doth as God commanded him, and they smite the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even unto Gazer;
And he did as God commanded him: and he smote the army of the Philistines from Gabaon to Gazera.
17 and the name of David goeth out into all the lands, and Jehovah hath put his fear on all the nations.
And the name of David was [famous] in all the land; and the Lord put the terror of him on all the nations.
