1 Torej kralj Hirám iz Tira je poslal poslance k Davidu in cedrov les z zidarji in tesarji, da mu zgradijo hišo.
Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, stonemasons, and carpenters, to build a palace for him.
2 David je zaznal, da ga je Gospod potrdil za kralja nad Izraelom, kajti njegovo kraljestvo je bilo visoko povzdignjeno zaradi njegovega ljudstva Izraela.
And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had highly exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
3 David si je v Jeruzalemu vzel več žena in David je zaplodil več sinov in hčera.
And David took more wives in Jerusalem and became the father of more sons and daughters.
4 Torej to so imena njegovih otrok, ki jih je imel v Jeruzalemu: Šamúa, Šobáb, Natán, Salomon,
These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 Jibhár, Elišúa, Elpélet,
Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 Nogah, Nefeg, Jafíja,
Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 Elišamá, Beeljadá in Elifálet.
Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 Ko so Filistejci slišali, da je bil David maziljen za kralja nad vsem Izraelom, so vsi Filistejci odšli gor, da poiščejo Davida. David pa je slišal o tem in odšel ven zoper njih.
When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went out to face them.
9 Filistejci so prišli in se razporedili po dolini Rafájim.
Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim.
10 David je poizvedel od Boga, rekoč: »Ali naj grem gor zoper Filistejce? Ali jih boš izročil v mojo roko?« Gospod mu je rekel: »Pojdi gor, kajti izročil jih bom v tvojo roko.«
So David inquired of God, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will deliver them into your hand.”
11 Tako so prišli gor v Báal Peracím in David jih je tam udaril. Potem je David rekel: »Bog je po moji roki pridrl nad moje sovražnike, kakor izbruhnejo vode, « zato so ime tega kraja imenovali Báal Peracím.
So David and his men went up to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, God has burst out against my enemies by my hand.” So they called that place Baal-perazim.
12 Ko so tam pustili svoje bogove, je David dal zapoved in sežgali so jih v ognju.
There the Philistines abandoned their gods, and David ordered that they be burned in the fire.
13 Filistejci pa so se ponovno razporedili po dolini.
Once again the Philistines raided the valley.
14 Zato je David ponovno poizvedel od Boga in Bog mu je rekel: »Ne pojdi gor za njimi. Obrni se proč od njih in pridi nadnje nasproti murvinih dreves.
So David again inquired of God, who answered him, “Do not march up after them, but circle around them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.
15 Zgodilo se bo, ko boš zaslišal zvok hoje po vrhovih murvinih dreves, da boš tedaj odšel ven na bitko, kajti Bog je šel naprej pred teboj, da udari vojsko Filistejcev.«
As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move out to battle, because this will mean that God has marched out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”
16 David je torej storil, kakor mu je Bog zapovedal in udarili so vojsko Filistejcev od Gibeóna, celo do Gazerja.
So David did as God had commanded him, and they struck down the army of the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
17 Davidova slava se je razširila po vseh deželah in Gospod je nad vse narode privedel strah pred njim.
And David’s fame went out into every land, and the LORD caused all nations to fear him.
