1Raja Hiram dari negeri Tirus mengirim duta-dutanya kepada Daud, juga kayu cemara Libanon dan tukang-tukang kayu serta tukang batu untuk mendirikan istana.
1Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
2Karena itu Daud merasa yakin TUHAN sudah mengukuhkan dia sebagai raja Israel dan menguatkan kerajaannya untuk kepentingan umat TUHAN.
2David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel’s sake.
3Di Yerusalem Daud mengambil lagi beberapa istri, dan mendapat anak-anak lagi.
3David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David became the father of more sons and daughters.
4Putra-putranya yang lahir di Yerusalem ialah: Syamua, Sobab, Natan, Salomo,
4These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5Yibhar, Elisua, Elpelet,
5and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
6Nogah, Nefeg, Yafia,
6and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7Elisama, Beelyada dan Elifelet.
7and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
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.
8When 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.
9Sementara itu orang Filistin sudah tiba di Lembah Refaim dan merampoki lembah itu.
9Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
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!"
10David inquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” Yahweh said to him, “Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.”
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.
11So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there; and David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
12Ketika pasukan Filistin lari, mereka tidak sempat membawa patung-patung berhala mereka. Daud memerintahkan supaya patung-patung itu dibakar.
12They left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.
13Tidak lama kemudian orang Filistin datang dan merampoki lagi Lembah Refaim.
13The Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.
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.
14David inquired again of God; and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come on them over against the mulberry trees.
15Kalau engkau mendengar bunyi seperti derap orang berbaris di puncak pohon-pohon itu, majulah, sebab Aku akan berjalan di depanmu untuk mengalahkan tentara Filistin."
15It shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then you shall go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”
16Daud melaksanakan apa yang diperintahkan Allah kepadanya. Ia dan pasukannya memukul mundur tentara Filistin mulai dari Gibeon sampai ke Gezer.
16David did as God commanded him: and they struck the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
17Maka termasyhurlah nama Daud di mana-mana, dan TUHAN membuat segala bangsa takut kepada Daud.
17The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought the fear of him on all nations.
