1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him a house.2 And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, because of his people Israel.3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begot more sons and daughters.4 And these are the names of the children which he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,5 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,6 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,7 and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.8 And 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.9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.10 And 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.11 And 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.12 And they left their gods there; and David commanded, and they were burned with fire.13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves in the valley.14 And 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.15 And 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.16 And David did as God commanded him; and they smote the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and Jehovah brought the fear of him upon all the nations.

1 Hirão, rei de Tiro, enviou mensageiros a Davi, e cedros e pedreiros e carpinteiros para lhe edificarem uma casa.2 Percebeu Davi que Jeová o tinha estabelecido como rei sobre Israel, porque o seu reino tinha sido muito exaltado por amor do seu povo de Israel.3 Tomou ainda Davi em Jerusalém outras mulheres, e gerou ainda filhos e filhas.4 Estes são os nomes dos filhos que lhe nasceram em Jerusalém: Samua, Sobabe, Natã e Salomão;5 Ibar, Elisua e Elpelete;6 Nogá, Nefegue e Jafia;7 Elisama, Beeliada e Elifelete.8 Quando os filisteus ouviram que Davi tinha sido ungido rei sobre Israel, subiram todos em busca de Davi; o que ouvindo Davi, saiu contra eles.9 Ora os filisteus tinham vindo e feito uma arremetida no vale de Refaim.10 Então Davi consultou a Deus, dizendo: Subirei contra os filisteus? e entregá-los-ás nas minhas mãos? Respondeu-lhe Jeová: Sobe, porque os entregarei nas tuas mãos.11 Subiram a Baal-Perazim, e ali os feriu Davi, que disse: Por minha mão Deus fez brecha nos meus inimigos, como uma brecha feita por águas. Pelo que chamaram àquele lugar Baal-Perazim.12 Ali deixaram os seus deuses, que, por ordem de Davi, foram queimados a fogo.13 Tornaram os filisteus a fazer uma arremetida no vale.14 De novo consultou Davi a Deus, que lhe disse: Não subirás após eles; retira-te, e vem contra eles por diante das balsamárias.15 Quando ouvires o ruído de marcha nas copas das balsamárias, sairás à peleja; pois Deus saiu diante de ti para ferir o exército dos filisteus.16 Fez Davi como Jeová lhe havia ordenado: e feriram o exército dos filisteus desde Gibeom até Gezer.17 A fama de Davi espalhou-se por todas as terras; e Jeová fez que todas as nações tivessem medo dele.
