¹Then came all the tribes of Israel to David to Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

¹Potom prišly všetky pokolenia Izraelove k Dávidovi do Hebrona a riekly: Hľa, my sme tvoja kosť a tvoje telo.

²Even aforetime, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel; and Jehovah said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel.

²Už dávno, ešte keď bol Saul kráľom nad nami, ty si vyvodil a dovodil Izraela. A okrem toho ti riekol Hospodin: Ty budeš pásť môj ľud, Izraela, a ty budeš vojvodom nad Izraelom.

³And all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah; and they anointed David king over Israel.

³A tak prišli všetci starší Izraelovi ku kráľovi do Hebrona, a kráľ Dávid učinil s nimi smluvu v Hebrone pred Hospodinom, a potom pomazali Dávida za kráľa nad Izraelom.

⁴David was thirty years old when he began to reign; he reigned forty years.

⁴Tridsať rokov mal Dávid, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval štyridsať rokov.

⁵In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.

⁵V Hebrone kraľoval nad Júdom sedem rokov a šesť mesiacov a v Jeruzaleme kraľoval tridsaťtri rokov nad celým Izraelom i nad Júdom.

⁶And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land; and they spoke to David, saying, Thou shalt not come in hither, but the blind and the lame will drive thee back; as much as to say, David will not come in hither.

⁶A kráľ i jeho mužovia odišli do Jeruzalema proti Jebuzejovi, ktorý obýval tú zem a ktorý povedal Dávidovi: Nevojdeš sem, iba ak odstrániš slepých a krivých. Lebo vraveli vo svojej ubezpečenosti: Nevojde Dávid sem.

⁷But David took the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David.

⁷Ale Dávid zaujal hrad Sion. To je mesto Dávidovo.

⁸And David said on that day, Whoever smites the Jebusites and gets up to the watercourse, and the lame and the blind hated of David's soul ...! Therefore they say, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.

⁸A Dávid riekol toho dňa: Ktokoľvek zabije niektorého Jebuzeja, srúti ho do výmoliny, aj tých krivých a slepých, ktorých nenávidí duša Dávidova. Preto hovoria: Slepý a krivý nevojde do domu.

⁹So David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from the Millo and inward.

⁹Potom býval Dávid na tom hrade a nazval ho mestom Dávidovým. A Dávid ho vystavil dokola od Millo až do vnútra.

¹⁰And David became continually greater; and Jehovah the God of hosts was with him.

¹⁰A Dávid vše prospieval a bol väčším a väčším, a Hospodin, Bôh Zástupov, bol s ním.

¹¹And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, and carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.

¹¹A Chíram, kráľ Týru, poslal poslov k Dávidovi a poslal mu aj cedrové drevo i tesárov a kameniarov murovať, a vystavili Dávidovi dom.

¹²And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom because of his people Israel.

¹²A Dávid poznal, že Hospodin ho ustanovil za kráľa nad Izraelom a že povzniesol jeho kráľovstvo pre svoj ľud Izraela.

¹³And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.

¹³A Dávid si vzal ešte viaceré ženiny i ženy z Jeruzalema, odkedy bol prišiel z Hebrona, a tedy ešte sa narodili Dávidovi viacerí synovia a viaceré dcéry.

¹⁴And these are the names of those that were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

¹⁴A toto sú mená tých, ktorí sa mu narodili v Jeruzaleme: Šammua, Šobab, Nátan a Šalamún,

¹⁵and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

¹⁵a Jibchár, Elišua, Nefeg a Jafia,

¹⁶and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet.

¹⁶a Elíšama, Eliada a Elípalet.

¹⁷And the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard [of it], and went down to the stronghold.

¹⁷A keď počuli Filištíni, že pomazali Dávida za kráľa nad Izraelom, vyšli hore všetci Filištíni hľadať Dávida. A Dávid počujúc o tom sišiel do hradu.

¹⁸And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

¹⁸A Filištíni prišli a rozložili sa v doline Refaim.

¹⁹And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt thou give them into my hand? And Jehovah said to David, Go up; for I will certainly give the Philistines into thy hand.

¹⁹Vtedy sa pýtal Dávid Hospodina a povedal: Či mám ísť hore proti Filištínom, či ich vydáš do mojej ruky? A Hospodin riekol Dávidovi: Iď, lebo cele iste dám Filištínov do tvojej ruky.

²⁰And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and he said, Jehovah has broken in upon mine enemies before me, as the breaking forth of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

²⁰A tak prišiel Dávid do Bálperacíma a tam ich porazil Dávid a povedal: Hospodin pretrhol mojich nepriateľov predo mnou, jako keď voda pretrhne breh. Preto nazval meno toho miesta Bál-peracím.

²¹And they left their images there, and David and his men took them away.

²¹A zanechali tam svoje rytiny, a pobral ich Dávid a jeho mužovia.

²²And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

²²A ešte znova vyšli Filištíni hore a rozložili sa v doline Refaim.

²³And David inquired of Jehovah; and he said, Thou shalt not go up; turn round behind them and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees.

²³A keď sa pýtal Dávid Hospodina, riekol: Nepojdeš hore. Obídi ich, aby si sa im dostal od chrbta a prijdeš na nich naproti morušiam.

²⁴And it shall be, when thou hearest a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself; for then will Jehovah have gone forth before thee, to smite the army of the Philistines.

²⁴A bude, keď počuješ šust krokov po vrcholoch moruší, vtedy sa ponáhľaj, lebo vtedy vyšiel Hospodin pred tebou, aby uderil na tábor Filištínov.

²⁵And David did so, as Jehovah had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou comest to Gezer.

²⁵Dávid učinil tak, ako mu prikázal Hospodin, a bil Filištínov od Geby, až ako ideš do Gázera.
