¹Tirski kralj Hiram posla k Davidu izaslanstvo i cedrovih drva, zidara i tesara da mu grade dvor.

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

²Tada David spozna da ga je Jahve potvrdio za kralja nad Izraelom i da je uzvisio njegovo kraljevstvo radi svojega izraelskog naroda.

²And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, because of his people Israel.

³David je uzeo još žena u Jeruzalemu i imao još sinova i kćeri.

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

⁴Evo imena djece koja mu se rodiše u Jeruzalemu: Šamua, Šobab, Natan, Salomon,

⁴And these are the names of the children which he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

⁵Jibhar, Elišua, Elpalet,

⁵and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,

⁶Nogah, Nefeg, Jafija,

⁶and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

⁸Kad su Filistejci čuli da su Davida pomazali za kralja nad svim Izraelom, iziđoše svi da se dočepaju Davida. David, čuvši to, iziđe pred njih.

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

⁹Filistejci dođoše i raširiše se po Refaimskoj dolini.

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

¹⁰Tada David upita Boga: "Mogu li napasti Filistejce? Hoćeš li ih predati meni u ruke?" Jahve mu odgovori: "Napadni, jer ću ih predati tebi u ruke!"

¹⁰And David inquired of God saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou give them into my hand? And Jehovah said to him, Go up; and I will give them into thy hand.

¹¹Tada krenuše u Baal Perasim i David ih ondje pobi. David reče: "Bog je prodro među moje neprijatelje mojom rukom, kao što voda prodire." Stoga se ono mjesto prozvalo Baal Perasim.

¹¹And they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said, God has broken in upon mine enemies by my hand, as the breaking forth of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

¹²Ostavili su ondje svoje bogove; a David zapovjedi da ih spale.

¹²And they left their gods there; and David commanded, and they were burned with fire.

¹³Opet se Filistejci raširiše po onoj dolini.

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

¹⁴David opet upita Boga, a Bog mu odgovori: "Ne idi za njima nego ih opkoli i navali na njih s protivne strane Bekaima.

¹⁴And David inquired again of God; and God said to him, Go not up after them; turn round them and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees.

¹⁵Pa kad začuješ topot koraka po bekaimskim vrhovima, onda izađi u boj, jer će tada ići Bog pred tobom da pobije filistejsku vojsku."

¹⁵And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will have gone forth before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.

¹⁶David učini kako mu je zapovjedio Bog; i pobili su filistejsku vojsku od Gibeona do Gezera.

¹⁶And David did as God commanded him; and they smote the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

¹⁷Davidovo se ime pročulo po svim zemljama, a Jahve uli strah od njega svim narodima.

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