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

¹Huchiin Tura kumpipa Hiramin David kiangah sawltak mite a sawla, sidar singte, suangsekmite, khutsiammite, in lamsak dingin.

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

²Huan Davidin Israel tungah TOUPAN amah kumpipain a koihkipta chih a theia, a gam lah, a mi Israelte vangin, sangpi-a tawisangin a om ngala.

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

³Huan Davidin Jerusalem ah jite tamsem a pi a: huchiin Davidin tapate leh tanute tamsem a suangta hi.

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

⁴Huan hiaite Jerusalema a neih tate minte ahi; Sammu, Sobad, Nathan, Solomon;

⁵and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,

⁵Huan Ibhar, Elisua, Elpelet;

⁶and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

⁶Huan Nogah, Nepek, Japhia;

⁷and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

⁷Huan Elisam, Beeliad, Eliphelet.

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.

⁸Huan Philistia miten David Israel tengteng tungah kumpipaa thaunilh ahi chih a jak un, David zong dingin Philiastia mite tengteng a kuan tou ua: huan Davidin huai a jakin, amaute dou dingin a kuan kheta hi.

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

⁹Huan Philistia mite a hong ua, Rephaim phaijang a tuamta uh.

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.

¹⁰Huchiin Davidin Pathian a donga, Philistia mite dou dingin ka kuan tou diam? amau ka khut ah na honpe diam? chiin. Huan TOUPAN a kiangah, Kuan touin; na khuta amau honpe ding ka hi ngala, a chi a.

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.

¹¹Huchiin Baal-perzaim ah a hong tou ua, huan Davidin amau a thata; huchiin Davidin, Pathianin tui khak bangin ka khutin ka melmate a hihsia, a chi a. Huaijiakin huai mun min dingin Baal-perazim a sa uh.

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

¹²Huan huailaiah a pathiante uh a nusia ua; Davidin thupiak a piaa, meiin a hal uhi.

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

¹³Huchiin Philistiaten phaijang a tuam nawn lai uhi.

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.

¹⁴Huan Davidin Pathian thu a dong nawna; huan Pathianin a kiangah, Amau delh dingin na kuan tou kei ding: amau kihei mangsan inla, mulberi singte jawn takah amau sualin.

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.

¹⁵Huan hichi ahi dinga, mulberi singte dawna tai ging na jak chiangin; huai chiangin kidou dingin na kuan khe ding hi: Philistia mite honpi that dingin na maah Pathian lah a kuankheta ngala, a chi a.

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

¹⁶Huan Davidin Pathianin amah thu a piak bangin a hiha: huchiin Gibeon akipan Gezer phain Philistia mite honpi a thatta uhi.Huan David minthanna gam tengtengah a pai khiaa; huchiin TOUPAN amah launa nam tengteng tungah a tungsak ta hi.

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

¹⁷Huan David minthanna gam tengtengah a pai khiaa; huchiin TOUPAN amah launa nam tengteng tungah a tungsak ta hi.
