¹Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.

¹Raja Hiram dari negeri Tirus mengirim duta-dutanya kepada Daud, juga kayu cemara Libanon dan tukang-tukang kayu serta tukang batu untuk mendirikan istana.

²And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel.

²Karena itu Daud merasa yakin TUHAN sudah mengukuhkan dia sebagai raja Israel dan menguatkan kerajaannya untuk kepentingan umat TUHAN.

³And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.

³Di Yerusalem Daud mengambil lagi beberapa istri, dan mendapat anak-anak lagi.

⁴Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

⁴Putra-putranya yang lahir di Yerusalem ialah: Syamua, Sobab, Natan, Salomo,

⁵And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,

⁵Yibhar, Elisua, Elpelet,

⁶And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

⁶Nogah, Nefeg, Yafia,

⁷And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.

⁷Elisama, Beelyada dan Elifelet.

⁸And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard of it, and went out against them.

⁸Ketika orang Filistin mendengar bahwa Daud sudah diangkat menjadi raja seluruh Israel, mereka datang hendak menangkap dia. Karena itu Daud keluar untuk berperang dengan mereka.

⁹And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

⁹Sementara itu orang Filistin sudah tiba di Lembah Refaim dan merampoki lembah itu.

¹⁰And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.

¹⁰Mendengar itu Daud bertanya kepada Allah, "TUHAN, haruskah saya menyerang orang-orang Filistin itu? Apakah TUHAN akan memberikan kemenangan kepada saya?" "Ya, seranglah!" jawab TUHAN. "Aku akan memberikan kemenangan kepadamu!"

¹¹So they came up to Baalperazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim.

¹¹Maka Daud dan pasukannya menyerang orang-orang Filistin itu di Baal-Perasim dan mengalahkan mereka. Berkatalah Daud, "Allah telah memakai aku untuk mendobrak pertahanan musuh seperti banjir merobohkan segalanya dalam seketika." Itu sebabnya tempat itu disebut Baal-Perasim.

¹²And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.

¹²Ketika pasukan Filistin lari, mereka tidak sempat membawa patung-patung berhala mereka. Daud memerintahkan supaya patung-patung itu dibakar.

¹³And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.

¹³Tidak lama kemudian orang Filistin datang dan merampoki lagi Lembah Refaim.

¹⁴Therefore David inquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.

¹⁴Sekali lagi Daud meminta petunjuk dari Allah, dan Allah menjawab, "Jangan menyerang mereka dari sini, tetapi berjalanlah memutar dan seranglah mereka dari seberang, dekat pohon-pohon murbei.

¹⁵And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.

¹⁵Kalau engkau mendengar bunyi seperti derap orang berbaris di puncak pohon-pohon itu, majulah, sebab Aku akan berjalan di depanmu untuk mengalahkan tentara Filistin."

¹⁶David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.

¹⁶Daud melaksanakan apa yang diperintahkan Allah kepadanya. Ia dan pasukannya memukul mundur tentara Filistin mulai dari Gibeon sampai ke Gezer.

¹⁷And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.

¹⁷Maka termasyhurlah nama Daud di mana-mana, dan TUHAN membuat segala bangsa takut kepada Daud.
