¹In Hiram, kralj v Tiru, je poslal poslance k Davidu in cedrovega lesa in zidarje in tesarje, da mu zgrade hišo.

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.

²In David je zaznal, da ga je GOSPOD potrdil za kralja nad Izraelom, kajti kraljestvo njegovo je bilo visoko povišano zaradi ljudstva njegovega 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.

³In David si je vzel še več žen v Jeruzalemu; in David je rodil še več sinov in hčer.

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

⁴In ta so imena otrok, ki jih je imel v Jeruzalemu: Samua, Sobab, Natan in Salomon,

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

⁵Ibhar, Elisua, Elpelet,

⁵and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,

⁶Noga, Nefeg, Jafija,

⁶and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

⁷Elisama, Beeliada in Elifelet.

⁷and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.

⁸Ko so pa Filistejci slišali, da je bil David pomaziljen za kralja nad vsem Izraelom, pridejo vsi Filistejci gori iskat Davida. In ko je David zvedel za to, jim je šel naproti.

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.

⁹Filistejci so pa prišli in se razgrnili po dolini Refaimov.

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

¹⁰In David je vprašal Boga, rekoč: Ali naj grem gori zoper Filistejce? In mi jih li hočeš dati v roko? In GOSPOD mu veli: Pojdi gori, kajti dam ti jih v roko!

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.`

¹¹Oni pa so prišli v Baalperazim, in David jih porazi ondi. In David reče: GOSPOD je raztrgal sovražnike moje po moji roki, kakor vode pretrgajo jez. Zato so dali ime tistemu kraju Baalperazim.

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.

¹²Popustili so pa svoje bogove tamkaj. In David ukaže, in sežgali so jih v ognju.

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

¹³In Filistejci so zopet pridrli in se razgrnili po dolini.

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

¹⁴David pa zopet vpraša Boga, in Bog mu reče: Ne hodi gori za njimi, kreni od njih in pojdi nadnje od strani murvovih dreves.

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;

¹⁵In ko začuješ šumenje iz vrhov murvovih dreves, kakor da prihaja vojska, tedaj pojdi ven v boj: zakaj Bog gre pred teboj, da udari vojsko Filistejcev.

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.`

¹⁶In David je storil, kakor mu je bil zapovedal Bog, in pobijali so vojsko Filistejcev od Gibeona do Gezerja.In Davidovo ime se je razglasilo po vseh deželah, in GOSPOD je spravil v strah pred njim vse narode

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

¹⁷In Davidovo ime se je razglasilo po vseh deželah, in GOSPOD je spravil v strah pred njim vse narode

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