And Huram king of Tyre sendeth messengers unto David, and cedar-wood, and artificers of walls, and artificers of wood, to build to him a house.

And David knoweth that Jehovah hath established him for king over Israel, because of the lifting up on high of his kingdom, for the sake of His people Israel.

And the Philistines hear that David hath been anointed for king over all Israel, and all the Philistines go up to seek David, and David heareth, and goeth out before them.
9 Zvino vaFiristia vakanga vauya kuzopamba mupata weRefaimi;
And the Philistines have come, and rush into the valley of Rephaim,
10 saka Dhavhidhi akabvunza kuna Mwari akati, “Ndingaenda here kundorwisa vaFiristia? Mungavaisa mumaoko angu here?” Jehovha akapindura akati, “Enda ndichavaisa mumaoko ako.”
and David asketh of God, saying, 'Do I go up against the Philistines — and hast Thou given them into my hand?' And Jehovah saith to him, 'Go up, and I have given them into thy hand.'
11 Saka Dhavhidhi navanhu vake vakakwidza kuBhaari Perazimu uye ikoko akavakunda akati, “Sokupwanya kunoita mvura, Mwari akapwanya vavengi vangu noruoko rwangu.” Saka nzvimbo iyoyo yakatumidzwa kunzi Bhaari Perazimu.
And they go up into Baal-Perazim, and David smiteth them there, and David saith, 'God hath broken up mine enemies by my hand, like the breaking up of waters;' therefore they have called the name of that place Baal-Perazim.
12 VaFiristia vakasiya vamwari vavo ipapo, Dhavhidhi akarayira kuti vapiswe mumoto.
And they leave there their gods, and David speaketh, and they are burnt with fire.
13 VaFiristia vakarwisa zvakare mupata uya.
And the Philistines add again, and rush into the valley,
14 Saka Dhavhidhi akabvunza Mwari zvakare, Mwari akamupindura akati, “Usangonanga ikoko asi vakomberedze wozovarwisa wava pamberi pemiti yemibharisamu.
and David asketh again of God, and God saith to him, 'Do not go up after them, turn round from them, and thou hast come to them from over-against the mulberries;
15 Pamunotanga kunzwa kutinhira kwokufamba pamisoro yemiti yemibharisamu, unofanira kubuda kundorwa, nokuti zvichange zvichireva kuti Mwari akutungamirira kundoparadza hondo yavaFiristia.”
and it cometh to pass, when thou hearest the sound of the stepping at the heads of the mulberries, then thou goest out into battle, for God hath gone out before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.'
16 Saka Dhavhidhi akaita sokurayirwa kwaakanga aitwa naMwari, uye vakaparadza hondo yavaFiristia, kubva kuGibheoni, kusvika kuGezeri.
And David doth as God commanded him, and they smite the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even unto Gazer;

and the name of David goeth out into all the lands, and Jehovah hath put his fear on all the nations.
