| [1]וַיָּבֹאוּ כָּל־שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־דָּוִד חֶבְרֹונָה וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֵאמֹר הִנְנוּ עַצְמְךָ וּבְשָׂרְךָ אֲנָחְנוּ׃ |
[1]Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spoke, saying: 'Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. |
| [2]גַּם־אֶתְמֹול גַּם־שִׁלְשֹׁום בִּהְיֹות שָׁאוּל מֶלֶךְ עָלֵינוּ אַתָּה הָיִיתָה מֹוצִיא [Q: הָיִיתָ הַמֹּוצִיא וְהַמֵּבִי וְהַמֵּבִיא] אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה לְךָ אַתָּה תִרְעֶה אֶת־עַמִּי אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאַתָּה תִּהְיֶה לְנָגִיד עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ |
[2]In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was thou that didst lead out and bring in Israel; and 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 said to thee: Thou shalt feed My people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel.' |
| [3]וַיָּבֹאוּ כָּל־זִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ חֶבְרֹונָה וַיִּכְרֹת לָהֶם הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד בְּרִית בְּחֶבְרֹון לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיִּמְשְׁחוּ אֶת־דָּוִד לְמֶלֶךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ |
[3]So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; and they anointed David king over Israel. |
| [4]בֶּן־שְׁלֹשִׁים שָׁנָה דָּוִד בְּמָלְכֹו אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה מָלָךְ׃ |
[4]David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. |
| [5]בְּחֶבְרֹון מָלַךְ עַל־יְהוּדָה שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים וְשִׁשָּׁה חֳדָשִׁים וּבִירוּשָׁלִַם מָלַךְ שְׁלֹשִׁים וְשָׁלֹשׁ שָׁנָה עַל כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל וִיהוּדָה׃ |
[5]In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah. |
| [6]וַיֵּלֶךְ הַמֶּלֶךְ וַאֲנָשָׁיו יְרוּשָׁלִַם אֶל־הַיְבֻסִי יֹושֵׁב הָאָרֶץ וַיֹּאמֶר לְדָוִד לֵאמֹר לֹא־תָבֹוא הֵנָּה כִּי אִם־הֱסִירְךָ הַעִוְרִים וְהַפִּסְחִים לֵאמֹר לֹא־יָבֹוא דָוִד הֵנָּה׃ |
[6]And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke unto David, saying: 'Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither'; thinking: 'David cannot come in hither.' |
| [7]וַיִּלְכֹּד דָּוִד אֵת מְצֻדַת צִיֹּון הִיא עִיר דָּוִד׃ |
[7]Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David. |
| [8]וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד בַּיֹּום הַהוּא כָּל־מַכֵּה יְבֻסִי וְיִגַּע בַּצִּנֹּור וְאֶת־הַפִּסְחִים וְאֶת־הַעִוְרִים שְׂנֹאו [Q: שְׂנֻאֵי] נֶפֶשׁ דָּוִד עַל־כֵּן יֹאמְרוּ עִוֵּר וּפִסֵּחַ לֹא יָבֹוא אֶל־הַבָּיִת׃ |
[8]And David said on that day: 'Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites, and getteth up to the gutter, and taketh away the lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul Wherefore they say: 'There are the blind and the lame; he cannot come into the house.' |
| [9]וַיֵּשֶׁב דָּוִד בַּמְּצֻדָה וַיִּקְרָא־לָהּ עִיר דָּוִד וַיִּבֶן דָּוִד סָבִיב מִן־הַמִּלֹּוא וָבָיְתָה׃ |
[9]And David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward. |
| [10]וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד הָלֹוךְ וְגָדֹול וַיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי צְבָאֹות עִמֹּו׃ |
[10]And David waxed greater and greater; for 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, the God of hosts, was with him. |
| [11]וַיִּשְׁלַח חִירָם מֶלֶךְ־צֹר מַלְאָכִים אֶל־דָּוִד וַעֲצֵי אֲרָזִים וְחָרָשֵׁי עֵץ וְחָרָשֵׁי אֶבֶן קִיר וַיִּבְנוּ־בַיִת לְדָוִד׃ |
[11]And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house. |
| [12]וַיֵּדַע דָּוִד כִּי־הֱכִינֹו יְהוָה לְמֶלֶךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְכִי נִשֵּׂא מַמְלַכְתֹּו בַּעֲבוּר עַמֹּו יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ |
[12]And David perceived that 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 had established him king over Israel, and that He had exalted his kingdom for His people Israel's sake. |
| [13]וַיִּקַּח דָּוִד עֹוד פִּלַגְשִׁים וְנָשִׁים מִירוּשָׁלִַם אַחֲרֵי בֹּאֹו מֵחֶבְרֹון וַיִּוָּלְדוּ עֹוד לְדָוִד בָּנִים וּבָנֹות׃ |
[13]And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron; and there were yet sons an daughters born to David. |
| [14]וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמֹות הַיִּלֹּדִים לֹו בִּירוּשָׁלִָם שַׁמּוּעַ וְשֹׁובָב וְנָתָן וּשְׁלֹמֹה׃ |
[14]And these are the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusal Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon; |
| [15]וְיִבְחָר וֶאֱלִישׁוּעַ וְנֶפֶג וְיָפִיעַ׃ |
[15]And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia; |
| [16]וֶאֱלִישָׁמָע וְאֶלְיָדָע וֶאֱלִיפָלֶט׃ |
[16]And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet. |
| [17]וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים כִּי־מָשְׁחוּ אֶת־דָּוִד לְמֶלֶךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּעֲלוּ כָל־פְּלִשְׁתִּים לְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת־דָּוִד וַיִּשְׁמַע דָּוִד וַיֵּרֶד אֶל־הַמְּצוּדָה׃ |
[17]And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold. |
| [18]וּפְלִשְׁתִּים בָּאוּ וַיִּנָּטְשׁוּ בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִים׃ |
[18]Now the Philistines had come and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. |
| [19]וַיִּשְׁאַל דָּוִד בַּיהוָה לֵאמֹר הַאֶעֱלֶה אֶל־פְּלִשְׁתִּים הֲתִתְּנֵם בְּיָדִי וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־דָּוִד עֲלֵה כִּי־נָתֹן אֶתֵּן אֶת־הַפְּלִשְׁתִּים בְּיָדֶךָ׃ |
[19]And David inquired of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, saying: 'Shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt Thou deliver them into my hand?' And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 said unto David: 'Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into thy hand.' |
| [20]וַיָּבֹא דָוִד בְּבַעַל־פְּרָצִים וַיַּכֵּם שָׁם דָּוִד וַיֹּאמֶר פָּרַץ יְהוָה אֶת־אֹיְבַי לְפָנַי כְּפֶרֶץ מָיִם עַל־כֵּן קָרָא שֵׁם־הַמָּקֹום הַהוּא בַּעַל פְּרָצִים׃ |
[20]And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and he said: '𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 hath broken mine enemies before me, like the breach of waters.' Therefore the name of that place was called Baal-perazim. |
| [21]וַיַּעַזְבוּ־שָׁם אֶת־עֲצַבֵּיהֶם וַיִּשָּׂאֵם דָּוִד וַאֲנָשָׁיו׃ |
[21]And they left their images there, and David and his men took them away. |
| [22]וַיֹּסִפוּ עֹוד פְּלִשְׁתִּים לַעֲלֹות וַיִּנָּטְשׁוּ בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִים׃ |
[22]And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. |
| [23]וַיִּשְׁאַל דָּוִד בַּיהוָה וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא תַעֲלֶה הָסֵב אֶל־אַחֲרֵיהֶם וּבָאתָ לָהֶם מִמּוּל בְּכָאִים׃ |
[23]And when David inquired of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, He said: 'Thou shalt not go up; make a circuit behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees. |
| [24]וִיהִי בְּשָׁמְעֲךָ [Q: כְּשָׁמְעֲךָ] אֶת־קֹול צְעָדָה בְּרָאשֵׁי הַבְּכָאִים אָז תֶּחֱרָץ כִּי אָז יָצָא יְהוָה לְפָנֶיךָ לְהַכֹּות בְּמַחֲנֵה פְלִשְׁתִּים׃ |
[24]And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself; for then is 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.' |
| [25]וַיַּעַשׂ דָּוִד כֵּן כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּהוּ יְהוָה וַיַּךְ אֶת־פְּלִשְׁתִּים מִגֶּבַע עַד־בֹּאֲךָ גָזֶר׃ |
[25]And David did so, as 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 commanded him, and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gezer. |
