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.

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.

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.
9 Devid biiri nʼebe ahụ e wusiri ike, kpọọ ya obodo Devid. O wuru akụkụ ebe dị gburugburu ya, site na Milo baa ruo nʼime ya.
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.

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.

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.

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.
24 Ngwangwa ị nụrụ ụda ikiri ụkwụ nʼelu osisi balsam ndị ahụ, mee ngwa malite ọgụ, nʼihi na nke a pụtara na Onyenwe anyị eburula unu ụzọ pụọ, itigbu ndị agha Filistia.”
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.
25 Devid mere dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu. O tigburu ndị Filistia, site na Geba ruo Gaza.
And David did as the Lord commanded him, and struck the Philistines from Gabaon as far as the land of Gazera.
