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

¹[Ny lapa nataon'i Davida, sy ny anaran'ny zanany] Ary Hirama, mpanjakan'i Tyro, naniraka olona tany amin'i Davida sady nampanatitra hazo sedera ary nandefa mpanao trano vato sy mpandrafitra hanao trano ho azy.

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.

²Dia fantatr'i Davida fa Jehovah efa nampitoetra azy ho mpanjakan'ny Isiraely, ka voasandratra ny fanjakany noho ny amin'ny Isiraely olony.

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

³Ary Davida nampaka-bady koa tany Jerosalema ka niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy.

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

⁴Ary izao no anaran'ny zanany naterany tany Jerosalema: Samoa sy Sobaba sy Natana sy Solomona

⁵And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,

⁵sy Jibara sy Elisoa sy Elipeleta

⁶And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

⁶sy Noga sy Nafega sy Jafia

⁷And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.

⁷sy Elisama sy Seliada ary Elifeleta.

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.

⁸[Ny nandresen'i Davida ny Filistina] Koa nony ren'ny Filistina fa efa nohosorana ho mpanjakan'ny Isiraely rehetra Davida, dia niakatra hitady azy ny Filistina rehetra. Koa raha ren'i Davida izany, dia nivoaka hiady taminy izy.

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

⁹Ary dia tonga ny Filistina ka nihahakahaka teny amin'ny Lohasahan'ny Refaita.

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.

¹⁰Ary Davida nanontany tamin'Andriamanitra hoe: Hiakatra hamely ny Filistina va aho? Hatolotrao eo an-tanako va izy? Dia hoy Jehovah taminy: Miakara, fa hatolotro eo an-tananao izy.

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.

¹¹Dia niakatra nankao Bala-perazima Davida ka namely azy teo; dia hoy izy: Ny tanako no namakian'Andriamanitra ny fahavaloko hipariaka toy ny rano vaky; koa izany no nanaovany ny anaran'izany tany izany hoe Bala-perazima.[Bala-perazima = Tany nahavakiana]

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

¹²Dia nilaozan'ireny teo ireo andriamaniny, ka dia nasain'i Davida nodorana tamin'ny afo.

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

¹³Ary tonga indray ny Filistina ka nihahakahaka teny an-dohasaha indray.

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.

¹⁴Dia nanontany tamin'Andriamanitra indray Davida ka novaliany hoe: Aza mandeha hanenjika azy; fa mivilia azy, dia mandehana, fa ho tonga eo aminy ianao eo amin'ny tandrifin'ny hazo balsama.

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.

¹⁵Ary raha toa mahare fingadongadon'olona eny amin'ny tendron'ny hazo balsama ianao, dia miaingà amin'izay hiady; fa amin'izay no efa miainga mialoha anao Andriamanitra hamely ny miaramilan'ny Filistina.

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

¹⁶Ary dia nanao araka izay nandidian'Andriamanitra azy Davida, ka dia namely ny miaramilan'ny Filistina hatrany Gibeona ka hatrany Gazera izy.Ary ny lazan'i Davida niely teny amin'ny tany rehetra; ary nataon'i Jehovah nahazo ny firenena rehetra ny tahotra an'i Davida.

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

¹⁷Ary ny lazan'i Davida niely teny amin'ny tany rehetra; ary nataon'i Jehovah nahazo ny firenena rehetra ny tahotra an'i Davida.
