1 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons, and carpenters, to build him a house. 2 David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, for his people Israel’s sake.
3 David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David became the father of more sons and daughters. 4 These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, 6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, 7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 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 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim. 10 David 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."
11 So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like waters breaking out. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.14:11 "Baal Perazim" means "The Lord who breaks out". 12 They left their gods there; and David gave a command, and they were burned with fire.
13 The Philistines made another raid in the valley. 14 David inquired again of God; and God said to him, "You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come on them opposite the mulberry trees. 15 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines."
16 David did as God commanded him; and they attacked the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer. 17 The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought the fear of him on all nations.

Te Whare me te Whānau a Rāwiri
1 Nā, ka tonoa ētahi karere e Hīrama kīngi o Tāira ki a Rāwiri, me ētahi rākau, he hīta, me ngā kaimahi kōhatu, me ngā kaimahi rākau, hei hanga whare mōna. 2 Nā, ka mōhio a Rāwiri kua whakapūmautia ia e Ihowā hei kīngi mō Īharaira, kua whakanuia hoki tōna rangatiratanga, he whakaaro ki tāna iwi, ki a Īharaira.
3 Nā, ka tangohia anō e Rāwiri he wāhine māna ki Hiruhārama, ā, ka whānau anō ētahi atu tama, ētahi atu tamāhine mā Rāwiri. 4 Ā, ko ngā ingoa ēnei o āna i whānau ki Hiruhārama: ko Hāmua, ko Hōpapa, ko Nātana, ko Horomona, 5 ko Ipihara, ko Erihua, ko Ereparete; 6 ko Noka, ko Nepeke, ko Iāpia; 7 ko Erihama, ko Pēriara, ko Eriparete.
Te Patunga o ngā Piritihini
8 Ā, nō te rongonga o ngā Pirihitini kua oti a Rāwiri te whakawahi hei kīngi mō Īharaira katoa, ka haere ngā Pirihitini katoa ki te rapu i a Rāwiri; ā, ka rongo a Rāwiri, ā, ka puta ia ki te tū i a rātou. 9 Nā, tērā ngā Pirihitini kua haere mai, ā, kua takahi i te raorao o Repaima. 10 Nā, ka ui a Rāwiri ki te Atua, ka mea, "Me haere rānei ahau ki ngā Pirihitini? E hōmai rānei rātou e koe ki tōku ringa?"
Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a ia, "Haere; ka hoatu hoki rātou e ahau ki tōu ringa."
11 Heoi, kua tae mai rātou ki Paara-Peratimi; patua iho rātou i reira e Rāwiri. Nā, ka mea a Rāwiri, "Pakaru ana i te Atua ōku hoariri, he mea nā tōku ringa; koia anō kei te pākaruhanga wai." Nā reira i huaina ai te ingoa o taua wāhi ko Pāraperatimi. 12 Ā, mahue ana i a rātou ō rātou atua ki reira, nā, ka whakahau a Rāwiri, ā, tahuna ana ki te ahi.
13 Nā, ka takahia anō e ngā Pirihitini te raorao. 14 Ā, ka ui anō a Rāwiri ki te Atua, ā, ka mea te Atua ki a ia, "Kaua e haere ki te whai i a rātou; me tahuri i a rātou, ka āwhio haere ki a rātou, ka whakaeke i a rātou i te ritenga o ngā maperi. 15 Ā, ka rangona e koe te tapuwae haruru i runga i ngā maperi, ko reira koe puta ai ki te whawhai; nō te mea kua riro te Atua ki mua i a koe ki te patu i te ope o ngā Pirihitini." 16 Nā, pērātia ana e Rāwiri me tā te Atua i whakahau ai ki a ia; ā, patua iho e rātou te ope o ngā Pirihitini i Kipeono, ā tae noa ki Katere.
17 Nā, kua pakū te ingoa o Rāwiri ki ngā whenua katoa, ā, ka mea a Ihowā i te wehi ki a ia kia pā ki ngā iwi katoa.
