¹A Chíram, kráľ Týru, poslal poslov k Dávidovi pošlúc mu aj cedrové drevo i murárov i tesárov, aby mu vystavili dom.

¹And Huram king of Tyre sendeth messengers unto David, and cedar-wood, and artificers of walls, and artificers of wood, to build to him a house.

²A Dávid poznal, že ho ustanovil Hospodin za kráľa nad Izraelom, lebo jeho kráľovstvo bolo vysoko povznesené pre jeho ľud Izraela.

²And David knoweth that Jehovah hath established him for king over Israel, because of the lifting up on high of his kingdom, for the sake of His people Israel.

³A Dávid si vzal ešte viaceré ženy v Jeruzaleme a Dávid splodil ešte viacero synov a dcér.

³And David taketh again wives in Jerusalem, and David begetteth again sons and daughters;

⁴A toto sú mená tých narodených, ktorých mal v Jeruzaleme: Šammua, Šobáb, Nátan a Šalamún,

⁴and these [are] the names of the children whom he hath in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

⁵Jibchar, Elišua a Elpálet,

⁵and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,

⁶Noga, Nefeg a Jafia,

⁶and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

⁷Elišama, Béljada a Elifálet.

⁷and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.

⁸A keď počuli Filištíni, že je Dávid pomazaný za kráľa nad celým Izraelom, vyšli hore všetci Filištíni hľadať Dávida. A Dávid počujúc o tom vyšiel oproti nim.

⁸And the Philistines hear that David hath been anointed for king over all Israel, and all the Philistines go up to seek David, and David heareth, and goeth out before them.

⁹A Filištíni prišli a rozprestreli sa v doline Refaim.

⁹And the Philistines have come, and rush into the valley of Rephaim,

¹⁰Vtedy sa pýtal Dávid Boha a riekol: Či mám ísť hore proti Filištínom, a či ich dáš do mojej ruky? A Hospodin mu riekol: Iď, a dám ich do tvojej ruky.

¹⁰and David asketh of God, saying, `Do I go up against the Philistines — and hast Thou given them into my hand?` And Jehovah saith to him, `Go up, and I have given them into thy hand.`

¹¹A tak išli hore do Bál-perácim, a tam ich porazil Dávid. A Dávid riekol: Bôh pretrhol mojich nepriateľov mojou rukou, jako keď voda pretrhne brehy. Preto nazvali meno toho miesta Bál-perácim.

¹¹And they go up into Baal-Perazim, and David smiteth them there, and David saith, `God hath broken up mine enemies by my hand, like the breaking up of waters;` therefore they have called the name of that place Baal-Perazim.

¹²A zanechali tam svojich bohov. A Dávid povedal, aby ich spálili, a tak ich spálili ohňom.

¹²And they leave there their gods, and David speaketh, and they are burnt with fire.

¹³A Filištíni sa znova sobrali a rozprestreli sa v tej doline.

¹³And the Philistines add again, and rush into the valley,

¹⁴A Dávid sa opäť pýtal Boha. A Bôh mu povedal: Nepôjdeš hore za nimi; obráť sa preč od nich a prijdeš na nich naproti morušiam.

¹⁴and David asketh again of God, and God saith to him, `Do not go up after them, turn round from them, and thou hast come to them from over-against the mulberries;

¹⁵A bude, keď počuješ šust krokov po vrcholcoch moruší, vtedy vyjdeš do boja, lebo vtedy vyšiel Bôh pred tebou, aby porazil tábor Filištínov.

¹⁵and it cometh to pass, when thou hearest the sound of the stepping at the heads of the mulberries, then thou goest out into battle, for God hath gone out before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.`

¹⁶A Dávid učinil tak, ako mu prikázal Bôh, a porážali tábor Filištínov od Gibeona až po Gázer.

¹⁶And David doth as God commanded him, and they smite the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even unto Gazer;

¹⁷A povesť Dávidova sa rozniesla do všetkých zemí, a Hospodin dal svoj strach na všetky národy.

¹⁷and the name of David goeth out into all the lands, and Jehovah hath put his fear on all the nations.
