And Huram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
2וַיֵּ֣דַע דָּוִ֔יד כִּֽי־הֱכִינ֧וֹ יְהוָ֛ה לְמֶ֖לֶךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כִּֽי־נִשֵּׂ֤את לְמַ֨עְלָה֙ מַלְכוּת֔וֹ בַּעֲב֖וּר עַמּ֥וֹ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
vayyeda' david ki-hekhino ADONAI lemelekh al-yisra'el ki-nisset lema'la malkhuto ba'avur ammo yisra'el
And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was exalted exceedingly, for His people Israel’s sake.

And David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David begot more sons and daughters.

ve'elle shemot hayludim asher hayu-lo birushalam shammua veshovav natan ushelomo
And these are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon;

vayyishme'u felishtim ki-nimshach david lemelekh al-kal-yisra'el vayya'alu khal-pelishtim levakkesh et-david vayyishma' david vayyetze lifnehem
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 to meet them.
9וּפְלִשְׁתִּ֖ים בָּ֑אוּ וַֽיִּפְשְׁט֖וּ בְּעֵ֥מֶק רְפָאִֽים׃
ufelishtim bau vayyifshetu be'emek refa'im
Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
10וַיִּשְׁאַ֨ל דָּוִ֤יד בֵּאלֹהִים֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר הַאֶֽעֱלֶה֙ עַל־פלשתיים [פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים] וּנְתַתָּ֖ם בְּיָדִ֑י וַיֹּ֨אמֶר ל֤וֹ יְהוָה֙ עֲלֵ֔ה וּנְתַתִּ֖ים בְּיָדֶֽךָ׃
vayyish'al david belohim lemor ha'e'ele al-pelishtim unetattam beyadi vayyomer lo ADONAI ale unetattim beyadekha
And David inquired of God, saying: ‘Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt Thou deliver them into my hand?’ And the LORD said unto him: ‘Go up; for I will deliver them into thy hand.’
11וַיַּעֲל֥וּ בְּבַֽעַל־פְּרָצִים֮ וַיַּכֵּ֣ם שָׁ֣ם דָּוִיד֒ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִ֔יד פָּרַ֨ץ הָֽאֱלֹהִ֧ים אֶת־אוֹיְבַ֛י בְּיָדִ֖י כְּפֶ֣רֶץ מָ֑יִם עַל־כֵּ֗ן קָֽרְא֛וּ שֵֽׁם־הַמָּק֥וֹם הַה֖וּא בַּ֥עַל פְּרָצִֽים׃

So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said: ‘God hath broken mine enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters.’ Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
12וַיַּעַזְבוּ־שָׁ֖ם אֶת־אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶ֑ם וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִ֔יד וַיִּשָּׂרְפ֖וּ בָּאֵֽשׁ׃
vayya'azvu-sham et-elohehem vayyomer david vayyissarfu ba'esh
And they left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.
13וַיֹּסִ֤יפוּ עוֹד֙ פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים וַֽיִּפְשְׁט֖וּ בָּעֵֽמֶק׃
vayyosifu od pelishtim vayyifshetu ba'emek
And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.
14וַיִּשְׁאַ֨ל ע֤וֹד דָּוִיד֙ בֵּֽאלֹהִ֔ים וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לוֹ֙ הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים לֹ֥א תַֽעֲלֶ֖ה אַֽחֲרֵיהֶ֑ם הָסֵב֙ מֵֽעֲלֵיהֶ֔ם וּבָ֥אתָ לָהֶ֖ם מִמּ֥וּל הַבְּכָאִֽים׃
vayyish'al od david belohim vayyomer lo ha'elohim lo ta'ale acharehem hasev me'alehem uvata lahem mimmul habbekha'im
And David inquired again of God; and God said unto him: ‘Thou shalt not go up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees.
15וִ֠יהִי כְּֽשָׁמְעֲךָ֞ אֶת־ק֤וֹל הַצְּעָדָה֙ בְּרָאשֵׁ֣י הַבְּכָאִ֔ים אָ֖ז תֵּצֵ֣א בַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה כִּֽי־יָצָ֤א הָֽאֱלֹהִים֙ לְפָנֶ֔יךָ לְהַכּ֖וֹת אֶת־מַחֲנֵ֥ה פְלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
vihi kesham'akha et-kol hatze'ada berashe habbekha'im az tetze vammilchama ki-yatza ha'elohim lefanekha lehakkot et-machane felishtim
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 is gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.’
16וַיַּ֣עַשׂ דָּוִ֔יד כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֖הוּ הָֽאֱלֹהִ֑ים וַיַּכּוּ֙ אֶת־מַחֲנֵ֣ה פְלִשְׁתִּ֔ים מִגִּבְע֖וֹן וְעַד־גָּֽזְרָה׃
vayya'as david ka'asher tzivvahu ha'elohim vayyakku et-machane felishtim miggiv'on ve'ad-gazra
And David did as God commanded him; and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
17וַיֵּצֵ֥א שֵׁם־דָּוִ֖יד בְּכָל־הָֽאֲרָצ֑וֹת וַֽיהוָ֛ה נָתַ֥ן אֶת־פַּחְדּ֖וֹ עַל־כָּל־הַגּוֹיִֽם׃
vayyetze shem-david bekhal-ha'aratzot veADONAI natan et-pachdo al-kal-haggoyim
And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
