1After this, King Hiram of Tyre sent a delegation to David, accompanied by cedar logs, stone masons, and wood workers, to construct a palace for him. 1וַ֠יִּשְׁלַח [חירם] (חוּרָ֨ם) מֶֽלֶךְ־ צֹ֥ר מַלְאָכִים֮ אֶל־ דָּוִיד֒ וַעֲצֵ֣י אֲרָזִ֔ים וְחָרָשֵׁ֣י קִ֔יר וְחָרָשֵׁ֖י עֵצִ֑ים לִבְנ֥וֹת ל֖וֹ בָּֽיִת׃
2David realized that the LORD was affirming him as king over Israel, and that his government was being exalted in order to benefit his people Israel. 2וַיֵּ֣דַע דָּוִ֔יד כִּֽי־ הֱכִינ֧וֹ יְהוָ֛ה לְמֶ֖לֶךְ עַל־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כִּֽי־ נִשֵּׂ֤את לְמַ֙עְלָה֙ מַלְכוּת֔וֹ בַּעֲב֖וּר עַמּ֥וֹ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ פ
3But while he was living in Jerusalem, David married more wives and fathered more sons and daughters. 3וַיִּקַּ֨ח דָּוִ֥יד ע֛וֹד נָשִׁ֖ים בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וַיּ֧וֹלֶד דָּוִ֛יד ע֖וֹד בָּנִ֥ים וּבָנֽוֹת׃
4Here's a list of the children whom he fathered while in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 4וְאֵ֙לֶּה֙ שְׁמ֣וֹת הַיְלוּדִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר הָיוּ־ ל֖וֹ בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם שַׁמּ֣וּעַ וְשׁוֹבָ֔ב נָתָ֖ן וּשְׁלֹמֹֽה׃
5Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, 5וְיִבְחָ֥ר וֶאֱלִישׁ֖וּעַ וְאֶלְפָּֽלֶט׃
6Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, 6וְנֹ֥גַהּ וְנֶ֖פֶג וְיָפִֽיעַ׃
7Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.7וֶאֱלִישָׁמָ֥ע וּבְעֶלְיָדָ֖ע וֶאֱלִיפָֽלֶט׃
8When the Philistines learned that David had been anointed king over all of Israel, all of the Philistines invaded to look for David. David heard about it and went out to fight them. 8וַיִּשְׁמְע֣וּ פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים כִּי־ נִמְשַׁ֨ח דָּוִ֤יד לְמֶ֙לֶךְ֙ עַל־ כָּל־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיַּעֲל֥וּ כָל־ פְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים לְבַקֵּ֣שׁ אֶת־ דָּוִ֑יד וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע דָּוִ֔יד וַיֵּצֵ֖א לִפְנֵיהֶֽם׃
9Meanwhile, the Philistines had invaded and raided the Rephaim Valley. 9וּפְלִשְׁתִּ֖ים בָּ֑אוּ וַֽיִּפְשְׁט֖וּ בְּעֵ֥מֶק רְפָאִֽים׃
10So David asked God, "Am I to go out against the Philistines? Will you give me victory over them?" "Go out," the LORD replied to him, "and I'll put them right into your hand."10וַיִּשְׁאַ֨ל דָּוִ֤יד בֵּאלֹהִים֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר הַאֶֽעֱלֶה֙ עַל־ [פלשתיים] (פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים) וּנְתַתָּ֖ם בְּיָדִ֑י וַיֹּ֨אמֶר ל֤וֹ יְהוָה֙ עֲלֵ֔ה וּנְתַתִּ֖ים בְּיָדֶֽךָ׃
11So David went out to Baal-perazim and defeated the Philistines there. David observed, "Like an overwhelming flood, God has overwhelmed my enemies, using me to do it." That's why that place is called Baal-perazim.11וַיַּעֲל֥וּ בְּבַֽעַל־ פְּרָצִים֮ וַיַּכֵּ֣ם שָׁ֣ם דָּוִיד֒ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִ֔יד פָּרַ֨ץ הָֽאֱלֹהִ֧ים אֶת־ אוֹיְבַ֛י בְּיָדִ֖י כְּפֶ֣רֶץ מָ֑יִם עַל־ כֵּ֗ן קָֽרְא֛וּ שֵֽׁם־ הַמָּק֥וֹם הַה֖וּא בַּ֥עַל פְּרָצִֽים׃
12The Philistines abandoned their gods there, so David ordered that their idols be incinerated.12וַיַּעַזְבוּ־ שָׁ֖ם אֶת־ אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶ֑ם וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִ֔יד וַיִּשָּׂרְפ֖וּ בָּאֵֽשׁ׃ פ
13Later the Philistines invaded the Rephaim Valley again. 13וַיֹּסִ֤יפוּ עוֹד֙ פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים וַֽיִּפְשְׁט֖וּ בָּעֵֽמֶק׃
14When David asked God about it, God told him, "Don't directly attack them. Instead, go around them and come up against them opposite those balsam trees. 14וַיִּשְׁאַ֨ל ע֤וֹד דָּוִיד֙ בֵּֽאלֹהִ֔ים וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לוֹ֙ הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים לֹ֥א תַֽעֲלֶ֖ה אַֽחֲרֵיהֶ֑ם הָסֵב֙ מֵֽעֲלֵיהֶ֔ם וּבָ֥אתָ לָהֶ֖ם מִמּ֥וּל הַבְּכָאִֽים׃
15When you hear the sound of marching coming from the tops of the balsam trees, then go out to battle, because God will have gone out ahead of you to destroy the Philistine army." 15וִ֠יהִי כְּֽשָׁמְעֲךָ֞ אֶת־ ק֤וֹל הַצְּעָדָה֙ בְּרָאשֵׁ֣י הַבְּכָאִ֔ים אָ֖ז תֵּצֵ֣א בַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה כִּֽי־ יָצָ֤א הָֽאֱלֹהִים֙ לְפָנֶ֔יךָ לְהַכּ֖וֹת אֶת־ מַחֲנֵ֥ה פְלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
16So David did just as God had ordered, and they struck down the Philistine army from Gibeon to Gezer. 16וַיַּ֣עַשׂ דָּוִ֔יד כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֖הוּ הָֽאֱלֹהִ֑ים וַיַּכּוּ֙ אֶת־ מַחֲנֵ֣ה פְלִשְׁתִּ֔ים מִגִּבְע֖וֹן וְעַד־ גָּֽזְרָה׃
17Then David's reputation spread through all of the neighboring countries, and the LORD caused all nations to be afraid of David.17וַיֵּצֵ֥א שֵׁם־ דָּוִ֖יד בְּכָל־ הָֽאֲרָצ֑וֹת וַֽיהוָ֛ה נָתַ֥ן אֶת־ פַּחְדּ֖וֹ עַל־ כָּל־ הַגּוֹיִֽם׃
