And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was exalted exceedingly, for His people Israel's sake.
3 Esi David ʋu yi Yerusalem la, egaɖe srɔ̃ aɖewo eye wòdzi viŋutsu kple vinyɔnu geɖewo.
And David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David begot more sons and daughters.

And these are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon;

8 Esi Filistitɔwo se be David zu Israel fia yeyea la, woƒo ƒu aʋakɔ aɖe nu be yewoayi aɖalée. Ke David se be wogbɔna la, eho yi wo kpe ge.
And 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 to meet them.
9 Filistitɔwo nɔ nuwo ham le Refaim balime.
Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
10 David bia Mawu be, “Mayi aɖawɔ aʋa kpli woa? Ɖe nàtsɔ wo ade asi nama?” Yehowa ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ɛ̃, yi, matsɔ wo ade asi na wò.”
And David inquired of God, saying: 'Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt Thou deliver them into my hand?' And the LORD said unto him: 'Go up; for I will deliver them into thy hand.'
11 Ale David kple eƒe aʋakɔ la yi ɖadze Filistitɔwo dzi le Baal Perazim eye wòtsrɔ̃ wo. Egblɔ be, “Mawu to dzinye kplɔ nye futɔwo dzoe abe ale si tsi ŋɔna tso tsixaɖoƒe ene!” Esia ta wòna ŋkɔ teƒe la tso ɣe ma ɣi be, “Baal Perazim” si gɔmee nye, “Aƒetɔ si gba go.”
So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said: 'God hath broken mine enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters.' Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
12 Le aʋakpekpe sia megbe la, Filistitɔwo gblẽ woƒe legbawo ɖe anyi, ke David ɖe gbe eye wotɔ dzo wo katã.
And they left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.
13 Emegbe la, Filistitɔwo gava kaka ɖe balime la me.
And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.
14 David gabia nu si wòawɔ la Mawu eye Mawu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Mègaho dze wo yome me o, ke boŋ trɔ ɖa le wo ŋu eye nàva tu wo le balsamtiawo gbɔ.
And David inquired again of God; and God said unto him: 'Thou shalt not go up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees.
15 Ne èse gbeɖiɖi aɖe le atiawo tame abe asrafowoe le azɔli zɔm ene la, ekema nàdze wo dzi elabena esia afia be, Mawu dze ŋgɔ na wò be nàtsrɔ̃ Filistitɔwo ƒe aʋakɔwo.”
And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God is gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.'
16 Ale David wɔ nu si Mawu ɖo nɛ eye wòsi Filistitɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ la tso keke Gibeon va se ɖe Gezer.
And David did as God commanded him; and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
17 David ƒe ŋkɔ de dzi le afi sia afi eye Yehowa na be dukɔwo katã navɔ̃e.
And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
