¹

And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar timbers, and masons, and carpenters, to build a house for him.

¹

ΚΑΙ ἀπέστειλε Χιρὰμ βασιλεὺς Τύρου ἀγγέλους πρὸς Δαυὶδ καὶ ξύλα κέδρινα καὶ οἰκοδόμους καὶ τέκτονας ξύλων τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι αὐτῷ οἶκον.

²

And David knew that the Lord had designed him to be king over Israel; because his kingdom was highly exalted, on account of his people Israel.

²

καὶ ἔγνω Δαυὶδ ὅτι ἡτοίμασεν αὐτὸν Κύριος εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραήλ, ὅτι ηὐξήθη εἰς ὕψος ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ διὰ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ.

³

And David took more wives in Jerusalem: and there were born to David more sons and daughters.

³

Καὶ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ ἔτι γυναῖκας ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἐτέχθησαν Δαυὶδ ἔτι υἱοὶ καὶ θυγατέρες.

⁴

And these are the names of those that were born, who were born to him in Jerusalem; Samaa, Sobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

⁴

καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν τῶν τεχθέντων, οἳ ἦσαν αὐτῷ ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ· Σαμαά, Σωβάβ, Νάθαν καὶ Σαλωμὼν

⁵

and Baar, and Elisa, and Eliphaleth,

⁵

καὶ ᾿Ιβαὰρ καὶ ᾿Ελισαὲ καὶ ᾿Ελιφαλὲτ

⁶

and Nageth, and Naphath, and Japhie,

⁶

καὶ Ναγὲθ καὶ Ναφὰγ καὶ ᾿Ιαφιὲ

⁷

and Elisamae, and Eliade, and Eliphala.

⁷

καὶ ᾿Ελισαμαὲ καὶ ᾿Ελιαδὲ καὶ ᾿Ελιφαλέτ.

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 it, and went out to meet them.

⁸

Καὶ ἤκουσαν ἀλλόφυλοι ὅτι ἐχρίσθη Δαυὶδ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ πάντα ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἀνέβησαν πάντες οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ζητῆσαι τὸν Δαυίδ· καὶ ἤκουσε Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῖς.

⁹

And the Philistines came and assembled together in the giants' valley.

⁹

καὶ ἀλλόφυλοι ἦλθον καὶ συνέπεσον ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τῶν γιγάντων.

¹⁰

And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into thy hands.

¹⁰

καὶ ἐπηρώτησε Δαυὶδ διὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ λέγων· εἰ ἀναβῶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ δώσεις αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χεῖράς μου; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Κύριος· ἀνάβηθι, καὶ δώσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου.

¹¹

And he went up to Baal Pharasin, and David smote them there; and David said, God has broken through enemies by my hand like a breach of water: therefore he called the name of that place, the Breach of Pharasin.

¹¹

καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς Βαὰλ Φαρασὶν καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ Δαυίδ· καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· διέκοψεν ὁ Θεὸς τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου ἐν χειρί μου ὡς διακοπὴν ὕδατος· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου Διακοπὴ Φαρασίν.

¹²

And the Philistines left their gods there; and David gave orders to burn them with fire.

¹²

καὶ ἐγκατέλιπον ἐκεῖ τοὺς θεοὺς αὐτῶν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι, καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ κατακαῦσαι αὐτοὺς ἐν πυρί.

¹³

And the Philistines once more assembled themselves in the giants' valley.

¹³

καὶ προσέθεντο ἔτι ἀλλόφυλοι καὶ συνέπεσαν ἔτι ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τῶν γιγάντων.

¹⁴

And David enquired of God again; and God said to him, Thou shalt not go after them; turn away from them, and thou shalt come upon them near the pear trees.

¹⁴

καὶ ἠρώτησε Δαυὶδ ἔτι ἐν Θεῷ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Θεός· οὐ πορεύσῃ ὀπίσω αὐτῶν, ἀποστρέφου ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν καὶ παρέσῃ αὐτοῖς πλησίον τῶν ἀπίων·

¹⁵

And it shall be, when thou shalt hear the sound of their tumult in the tops of the pear trees, then thou shalt go into the battle: for God has gone out before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.

¹⁵

καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαί σε τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ συσσεισμοῦ τῶν ἄκρων τῶν ἀπίων, τότε εἰσελεύσῃ εἰς τὸν πόλεμον, ὅτι ἐξῆλθεν ὁ Θεὸς ἔμπροσθέν σου τοῦ πατάξαι τὴν παρεμβολὴν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων.

¹⁶

And he did as God commanded him: and he smote the army of the Philistines from Gabaon to Gazera.

¹⁶

καὶ ἐποίησε καθὼς ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ ὁ Θεός, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὴν παρεμβολὴν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων ἀπὸ Γαβαὼν ἕως Γαζηρά.

¹⁷

And the name of David was famous in all the land; and the Lord put the terror of him on all the nations.

¹⁷

καὶ ἐγένετο ὄνομα Δαυὶδ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ, καὶ Κύριος ἔδωκε τὸν φόβον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη.
