1 misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri nuntios ad David et ligna cedrina et artifices parietum lignorumque ut aedificarent ei domum

And Churam the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and trees of cedars, and masons and carpenters, to build him a house.

2 cognovitque David eo quod confirmasset eum Dominus in regem super Israhel et sublevatum esset regnum suum super populum eius Israhel

And David felt conscious that the Lord had established him as king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, because of his people Israel.

3 accepit quoque David alias uxores in Hierusalem genuitque filios et filias

And David took yet more wives at Jerusalem; and David begat more sons and daughters.

4 et haec nomina eorum qui nati sunt ei in Hierusalem Sammu et Sobab Nathan et Salomon

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

5 Iebar et Helisu et Eliphaleth

And Yibchar, and Elishua', and Elpalet,

6 Noga quoque et Napheg et Iaphiae

And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Yaphia',

7 Elisama et Baliada et Eliphaleth

And Elishama', and Be'elyada', and Eliphalet.

8 audientes autem Philisthim eo quod unctus esset David in regem super universum Israhel ascenderunt omnes ut quaererent eum quod cum audisset David egressus est obviam eis

But when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went out against them.

9 porro Philisthim venientes diffusi sunt in valle Raphaim

And the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim.

10 consuluitque David Deum dicens si ascendam ad Philistheos si trades eos in manu mea et dixit ei Dominus ascende et tradam eos in manu tua

And David asked counsel 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; and I will deliver them into thy hand.

11 cumque illi ascendissent in Baalpharasim percussit eos ibi David et dixit divisit Deus inimicos meos per manum meam sicuti dividuntur aquae et idcirco vocatum est nomen loci illius Baalpharasim

And they came up to Ba'al-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken down my enemies through my hand as a breach [is made] by water: therefore they called the name of that place Ba'al-perazim.

12 dereliqueruntque ibi deos suos quos David iussit exuri

And they left behind there their gods, and David gave the order, and they were burnt with fire.

13 alia etiam vice Philisthim inruerunt et diffusi sunt in valle

And the Philistines [came] once again, and spread themselves out in the valley.

14 consuluitque rursum David Deum et dixit ei Deus non ascendas post eos recede ab eis et venies contra illos ex adverso pirorum

And David asked again counsel of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn about from them, and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees,

15 cumque audieris sonitum gradientis in cacumine pirorum tunc egredieris ad bellum egressus est enim Deus ante te ut percutiat castra Philisthim

And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of walking on the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will be gone forth before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.

16 fecit ergo David sicut praeceperat ei Deus et percussit castra Philisthinorum de Gabaon usque Gazera

And David did as God had commanded him; and they smote the camp of the Philistines from Gib'on as far as Gezer.

17 divulgatumque est nomen David in universis regionibus et Dominus dedit pavorem eius super omnes gentes

And the fame of David went out into all the lands; and the Lord laid the dread of him upon all the nations.
