1 misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri nuntios ad David
et ligna cedrina et artifices parietum lignorumque
ut aedificarent ei domum
2 cognovitque David eo quod confirmasset eum Dominus in regem
super Israhel
et sublevatum esset regnum suum super populum eius Israhel
3 accepit quoque David alias uxores in Hierusalem
genuitque filios et filias
4 et haec nomina eorum qui nati sunt ei in Hierusalem
Sammu et Sobab Nathan et Salomon
5 Iebar et Helisu et Eliphaleth
6 Noga quoque et Napheg et Iaphiae
7 Elisama et Baliada et Eliphaleth
8 audientes autem Philisthim eo quod unctus esset David in regem
super universum Israhel
ascenderunt omnes ut quaererent eum
quod cum audisset David egressus est obviam eis
9 porro Philisthim venientes diffusi sunt in valle Raphaim
10 consuluitque David Deum dicens
si ascendam ad Philistheos si trades eos in manu mea
et dixit ei Dominus
ascende et tradam eos in manu tua
11 cumque illi ascendissent in Baalpharasim
percussit eos ibi David et dixit
divisit Deus inimicos meos per manum meam
sicuti dividuntur aquae
et idcirco vocatum est nomen loci illius Baalpharasim
12 dereliqueruntque ibi deos suos
quos David iussit exuri
13 alia etiam vice Philisthim inruerunt et diffusi sunt in
valle
14 consuluitque rursum David Deum
et dixit ei Deus non ascendas post eos recede ab eis
et venies contra illos ex adverso pirorum
15 cumque audieris sonitum gradientis in cacumine pirorum
tunc egredieris ad bellum
egressus est enim Deus ante te ut percutiat castra Philisthim
16 fecit ergo David sicut praeceperat ei Deus
et percussit castra Philisthinorum de Gabaon usque Gazera
17 divulgatumque est nomen David in universis regionibus
et Dominus dedit pavorem eius super omnes gentes
1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house. 2 And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel.
3 ¶ And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters. 4 Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon, 5 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet, 6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia, 7 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
8 ¶ And when 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. 9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 10 And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand. 11 So they came up to Baal-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim. 12 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire. 13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley. 14 Therefore David enquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees. 15 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines. 16 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer. 17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
