And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar timbers, and masons, and carpenters, to build a house for him.

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.

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 Abafirisuuti baali bazze nga bazinze ekiwonvu Lefayimu;
And the Philistines came and assembled together in the giants' valley.
10 Dawudi ne yeebuuza ku Mukama nti, “Ŋŋende ntabaale Abafirisuuti? Onoobagabula mu mukono gwange?” Mukama n’amuddamu nti, “Genda, kubanga nnaabagabula mu mukono gwo.”
And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and will you deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into your hands.
11 Awo Dawudi n’ayambuka ne basajja be e Baaluperazimu, n’atabaala Abafirisuuti n’abawangula. N’ayogera nti, “Katonda awangudde abalabe bange n’omukono gwe, ng’amazzi bwe gawaguza.” Era ekifo ekyo kyekyava kituumibwa Baaluperazimu.
And he went up to Baal Pharasin, and David struck 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.

And the Philistines left their gods there; and David gave orders to burn them with fire.

And the Philistines once more assembled themselves in the giants' valley.

And David enquired of God again; and God said to him, You shall not go after them; turn away from them, and you shall come upon them near the pear trees.
15 Awo bw’onoowulira eddoboozi ery’okukumba waggulu mu mitugunda, onootabaala, kubanga ekyo kinaategeeza nti Katonda akukulembedde okuzikiriza eggye ly’Abafirisuuti.”
And it shall be, when you shall hear the sound of their tumult in the tops of the pear trees, then you shall go into the battle: for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.
16 Dawudi n’akola nga Mukama bwe yamulagira, ne bazikiriza eggye ly’Abafirisuuti, okuva e Gibyoni okutuuka e Gezeri.
And he did as God commanded him: and he struck the army of the Philistines from Gabaon to Gazera.
17 Awo ettutumo lya Dawudi ne libuna ensi zonna, Mukama n’aleetera amawanga gonna okutya Dawudi.
And the name of David was [famous] in all the land; and the Lord put the terror of him on all the nations.
