Young's Literal Translation
Then
all the tribes of Israel came
to
David at
Hebron and said
, “Here
we are ,
your
own
flesh
and blood.
And
all the tribes of Israel come
unto
David ,
to
Hebron ,
and speak
, saying,
`Lo,
we `
are '
thy
bone
and thy
flesh;
Even
in
times
past
, while
Saul
was
king over us, you
were
the
one
who led
Israel
out and brought
them
back.
And to you
the
LORD
said
, ‘You
will
shepherd
My people Israel, and you
will
be
ruler
over them
. ’”
also
heretofore
, in
Saul's
being
king over us, thou
hast
been
he
who is
bringing
out and bringing
in
Israel,
and Jehovah
saith
to thee
, Thou
dost
feed
My people Israel, and thou
art
for
leader
over Israel
. '
So
all the elders of Israel came
to
the king at
Hebron, where
King David made
with them a covenant before the
LORD.
And they anointed
him
king over Israel.
And
all the elders of Israel come
unto
the king ,
to
Hebron, and
king David maketh
with them a covenant in
Hebron
before Jehovah,
and they anoint
David
for
king over Israel.
David
was
thirty years old
when
he
became
king ,
and
he
reigned
forty years .
A
son
of
thirty years `is'
David
in
his
being
king ;
forty years he
hath
reigned;
In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty -
three years over all Israel and Judah.
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.
Now
the king and his men marched
to Jerusalem against
the Jebusites
who
inhabited
the land.
The Jebusites
said
to David :
“You
will
never
get
in here.
Even
the blind and lame can
repel
you.”
For
they
thought
, “
David cannot
get
in here
. ”
And
the king goeth,
and his men ,
to Jerusalem ,
unto
the Jebusite,
the inhabitant
of
the land,
and
they
speak
to David ,
saying,
`Thou
dost
not
come
in hither,
except
thou
turn
aside
the blind and the
lame ;'
saying
, `
David doth
not
come
in hither
. '
Nevertheless,
David captured
the fortress of Zion (that
is
, the City of David )
.
And
David captureth
the fortress of Zion, it
`is'
the city of David.
On that day he
said
, “Whoever
attacks
the Jebusites
must
use
the water
shaft
to
reach
the lame and blind who
are
despised
by
David.”
That
is
why
it
is
said
, “
The blind and the
lame will
never
enter
the palace
. ”
And
David
saith
on that day, `Any
one
smiting
the Jebusite,
(let
him
go
up
by
the watercourse),
and
the lame and the
blind --
the
hated
of
David's
soul
, '
--
because
the blind and lame say,
`He
doth
not
come
into
the house
. '
So
David took
up
residence
in the fortress and called
it the
City of David .
He
built
it
up
all
the
way
around
, from the
supporting
terraces
inward .
And
David dwelleth
in the fortress ,
and calleth
it --
City of David, and
David
buildeth
round
about,
from Millo
and
inward ,
And David became
greater
and greater
, for
the
LORD
God of Hosts was
with him.
and David goeth,
going
on
and becoming
great
, and
Jehovah,
God of Hosts ,
`is'
with him.
Now
Hiram king of Tyre sent
envoys
to
David, along
with
cedar logs
, carpenters
, and stonemasons
, and they built
a palace
for David .
And
Hiram king of Tyre sendeth
messengers
unto
David, and
cedar -trees
, and
artificers
of
wood
, and artificers
of
stone
, for
walls,
and they build
a house
for David ,
And David realized
that the
LORD
had
established him as
king over Israel and had
exalted
his kingdom for
the
sake
of His people Israel.
and David knoweth
that Jehovah
hath
established him for
king over Israel ,
and that
He
hath
lifted
up
his kingdom ,
because
of His people Israel.
After
he
had
arrived
from
Hebron,
David took
more
concubines and wives from
Jerusalem, and more
sons and daughters were
born
to
him
.
And
David taketh
again
concubines and wives out
of
Jerusalem, after
his
coming
from
Hebron,
and there
are
born
again
to
David
sons and daughters.
These are the names of the
children
born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua
, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
And
these `
are '
the names of those
born to him in Jerusalem: Shammuah
, and
Shobab, and
Nathan, and
Solomon,
Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
and
Ibhar, and
Elishua, and
Nepheg, and
Japhia,
Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet
.
and
Elishama, and
Eliada, and Eliphalet
.
When
the Philistines heard
that David
had
been
anointed king over Israel, they
all went
in
search
of
him;
but
David learned
of
this
and went
down to
the stronghold.
And
the Philistines hear
that they
have
anointed David
for
king over Israel, and
all the
Philistines
come
up
to
seek
David ,
and David
heareth,
and
goeth
down unto
the fortress,
Now
the Philistines had
come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
and
the Philistines have
come ,
and are
spread out in the valley of Rephaim.
So
David inquired
of the
LORD
, “Should
I go up against
the Philistines? Will
You
deliver
them into my hand? ”
“Go
, ”
replied
the
LORD
, “
for I will
surely
deliver
the Philistines into your
hand. ”
And
David asketh
of Jehovah
, saying,
`Do
I go up unto
the Philistines? dost
Thou
give
them into my hand? '
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
David
, `Go
up
, for I certainly
give
the Philistines into thy
hand. '
So
David went
to Baal-perazim, where
he
defeated
the
Philistines
and said
, “Like
a
bursting
flood
, the
LORD
has
burst
out
against
my
enemies before me .”
So
he called that place Baal-perazim.
And
David cometh
in
to Baal-Perazim, and David
smiteth
them
there
, and
saith
, `Jehovah
hath
broken
forth
`on'
mine
enemies before me ,
as
the
breaking
forth
of
waters;'
therefore
he hath
called the
name
of
that place Baal-Perazim.
There the
Philistines
abandoned
their idols, and David and his men carried
them away
.
And
they
forsake
there their idols, and David and his men lift
them up
.
Once
again
the Philistines came
up and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim .
And
the Philistines add
again
to
come
up ,
and are
spread out in the valley of Rephaim ,
So
David inquired
of the
LORD
, who
answered
, “Do
not march
straight
up, but
circle
around
behind
them
and attack
them in
front
of
the balsam
trees.
and
David asketh
of Jehovah
, and
He
saith
, `Thou
dost
not go
up, turn
round
unto
their
rear,
and thou
hast
come
to
them over-against
the mulberries,
As
soon
as
you
hear
the sound of marching
in the tops of the balsam
trees
, move quickly
, because
this
will
mean
that
the
LORD
has
marched
out before you
to strike
the camp of the Philistines. ”
and
it
cometh
to
pass,
in
thy
hearing
the sound of a
stepping
in the tops of the mulberries
, then
thou
dost
move sharply
, for
then
hath
Jehovah
gone
out before thee
to smite
in
the camp of the Philistines. '
So
David did
as the
LORD
had
commanded him, and he
struck
down
the Philistines all
the
way
from Gibeon
to Gezer
.
And
David doth
so,
as Jehovah
commanded him, and smiteth
the Philistines from Geba
unto
thy
coming
to Gazer
.
