1 et venerunt universae tribus Israhel ad David in Hebron dicentes ecce nos os tuum et caro tua sumus

Then came all the tribes of Israel to Dauid vnto Hebron, and said thus, Beholde, we are thy bones and thy flesh.

2 sed et heri et nudius tertius cum esset Saul rex super nos tu eras educens et reducens Israhel dixit autem Dominus ad te tu pasces populum meum Israhel et tu eris dux super Israhel

And in time past when Saul was our King, thou leddest Israel in and out: and the Lord hath sayde to thee, Thou shalt feede my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captaine ouer Israel.

3 venerunt quoque et senes de Israhel ad regem in Hebron et percussit cum eis rex David foedus in Hebron coram Domino unxeruntque David in regem super Israhel

So all the Elders of Israel came to the King to Hebron: and King Dauid made a couenant with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anoynted Dauid King ouer Israel.

4 filius triginta annorum erat David cum regnare coepisset et quadraginta annis regnavit

Dauid was thirtie yeere olde when he began to reigne: and hee reigned fortie yeere.

5 in Hebron regnavit super Iudam septem annis et sex mensibus in Hierusalem autem regnavit triginta tribus annis super omnem Israhel et Iudam

In Hebron hee reigned ouer Iudah seuen yeere, and sixe moneths: and in Ierusalem hee reigned thirtie and three yeeres ouer all Israel and Iudah.

6 et abiit rex et omnes viri qui erant cum eo in Hierusalem ad Iebuseum habitatorem terrae dictumque est ad David ab eis non ingredieris huc nisi abstuleris caecos et claudos dicentes non ingredietur David huc

The King also and his men went to Ierusalem vnto the Iebusites, the inhabitants of the land: who spake vnto Dauid, saying, Except thou take away the blinde and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking that Dauid coulde not come thither.

7 cepit autem David arcem Sion haec est civitas David

But Dauid tooke the fort of Zion: this is the citie of Dauid.

8 proposuerat enim in die illa praemium qui percussisset Iebuseum et tetigisset domatum fistulas et claudos et caecos odientes animam David idcirco dicitur in proverbio caecus et claudus non intrabunt templum

Nowe Dauid had sayd the same day, Whosoeuer smiteth the Iebusites, and getteth vp to the gutters and smiteth the lame and blinde, which Dauids soule hateth, I will preferre him: therefore they saide, The blinde and the lame shall not come into that house.

9 habitavit autem David in arce et vocavit eam civitatem David et aedificavit per gyrum a Mello et intrinsecus

So Dauid dwelt in that forte, and called it the citie of Dauid, and Dauid built rounde about it, from Millo, and inward.

10 et ingrediebatur proficiens atque succrescens et Dominus Deus exercituum erat cum eo

And Dauid prospered and grewe: for the Lord God of hostes was with him.

11 misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri nuntios ad David et ligna cedrina et artifices lignorum artificesque lapidum ad parietes et aedificaverunt domum David

Hiram also king of Tyrus sent messengers to Dauid, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons for walles: and they built Dauid an house.

12 et cognovit David quoniam confirmasset eum Dominus regem super Israhel et quoniam exaltasset regnum eius super populum suum Israhel

Then Dauid knewe that the Lord had stablished him King ouer Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdome for his people Israels sake.

13 accepit ergo adhuc concubinas et uxores de Hierusalem postquam venerat de Hebron natique sunt David et alii filii et filiae

And Dauid tooke him more concubines and wiues out of Ierusalem, after hee was come from Hebron, and more sonnes and daughters were borne to Dauid.

14 et haec nomina eorum qui nati sunt ei in Hierusalem Samua et Sobab et Nathan et Salomon

16 et Iafia et Helisama et Helida et Helifeleth

And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

17 audierunt vero Philisthim quod unxissent David regem super Israhel et ascenderunt universi ut quaererent David quod cum audisset David descendit in praesidium

But when the Philistims hearde that they had anoynted Dauid King ouer Israel, all the Philistims came vp to seeke Dauid: and when Dauid heard, he went downe to a fort.

18 Philisthim autem venientes diffusi sunt in valle Raphaim

But the Philistims came, and spred themselues in the valley of Rephaim.

19 et consuluit David Dominum dicens si ascendam ad Philisthim et si dabis eos in manu mea et dixit Dominus ad David ascende quia tradens dabo Philisthim in manu tua

Then Dauid asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I goe vp to the Philistims? wilt thou deliuer them into mine handes? And the Lord answered Dauid, Goe vp: for I will doubtlesse deliuer the Philistims into thine handes.

20 venit ergo David in Baalpharasim et percussit eos ibi et dixit divisit Dominus inimicos meos coram me sicut dividuntur aquae propterea vocatum est nomen loci illius Baalpharasim

Then Dauid came to Baal-perazim, and smote them there, and sayde, The Lord hath deuided mine enemies asunder before mee, as waters be deuided asunder: therefore he called the name of that place, Baal-perazim.

21 et reliquerunt ibi sculptilia sua quae tulit David et viri eius

And there they left their images, and Dauid and his men burnt them.

22 et addiderunt adhuc Philisthim ut ascenderent et diffusi sunt in valle Raphaim

Againe the Philistims came vp, and spred themselues in the valley of Rephaim.

23 consuluit autem David Dominum qui respondit non ascendas sed gyra post tergum eorum et venies ad eos ex adverso pirorum

And when Dauid asked counsell of the Lord, hee answered, Thou shalt not goe vp, but turne about behinde them, and come vpon them ouer against the mulberie trees.

24 et cum audieris sonitum gradientis in cacumine pirorum tunc inibis proelium quia tunc egredietur Dominus ante faciem tuam ut percutiat castra Philisthim

And when thou hearest the noyse of one going in the toppes of the mulberie trees, then remoue: for then shall the Lord goe out before thee, to smite the hoste of the Philistims.

25 fecit itaque David sicut ei praeceperat Dominus et percussit Philisthim de Gabee usque dum venias Gezer

Then Dauid did so as the Lord had commanded him, and smote the Philistims from Geba, vntil thou come to Gazer.
