¹Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.

¹推罗王助大卫建造宫殿（撒下5:11-12）

²David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel’s sake.

²那时，大卫知道耶和华已经坚立他作王统治以色列，又为了以色列民的缘故，使他的国高举。

³David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David became the father of more sons and daughters.

³大卫在耶路撒冷所生的儿子（撒下5:13-16）大卫在耶路撒冷又娶了多位妻子，并且生了很多儿女。

⁴These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

⁴以下这些就是他在耶路撒冷所生的孩子的名字：沙母亚、朔罢、拿单、所罗门、

⁵and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,

⁵益辖、以利书亚、以法列、

⁶and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

⁶挪迦、尼斐、雅非亚、

⁷and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

⁷以利沙玛、以利雅大和以利法列。

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.

⁸大卫两次战胜非利士人（撒下5:17-25）非利士人听见了大卫受膏作王统治以色列人，就全体上来搜寻大卫；大卫听见了，就出来迎击他们。

⁹Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.

⁹非利士人来到，侵进了利乏音谷。

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.”

¹⁰大卫求问　神说：“我可以上去攻打非利士人吗？你把他们交在我手里吗？”耶和华对他说：“你可以上去，我必把他们交在你的手里。”

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.

¹¹非利士人上到巴力．毗拉心来，大卫在那里击败了他们。大卫说：“　神借着我击溃我的敌人，好像水冲破堤岸一般。”因此他们给那地方起名叫巴力．毗拉心。

¹²They left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.

¹²非利士人把他们的神像遗弃在那里，大卫吩咐人用火把它们烧了。

¹³The Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.

¹³非利士人又再入侵那山谷。

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.

¹⁴大卫又求问　神，　神对他说：“不可在后面追赶他们，要绕过他们，从桑林对面攻打他们。

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.”

¹⁵你一听见桑林树梢上有脚步的声音，就要出战，因为　神已经在你前面出去击杀非利士人的军队了。”

¹⁶David did as God commanded him: and they struck the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

¹⁶于是大卫照着　神所吩咐他的去作，他们攻击非利士人的军队，从基遍起，一直攻打到基色。

¹⁷The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought the fear of him on all nations.

¹⁷因此大卫的名声传遍各地，耶和华使万国都惧怕他。
