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

¹And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build 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 perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, because of his people Israel.

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

³And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begot more 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 which he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

⁵Jibchar, Elišua a Elpálet,

⁵and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,

⁶Noga, Nefeg a Jafia,

⁶and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

⁷Elišama, Béljada a Elifálet.

⁷and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

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 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.

⁹A Filištíni prišli a rozprestreli sa v doline Refaim.

⁹And the Philistines came and spread themselves in 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 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.

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 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.

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

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

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

¹³And the Philistines yet again spread themselves in 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 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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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