1 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and craftsmen of a wall, and craftsmen of wood, to build him a palace.
And Iram, the kyng of Tyre, sente messageris to Dauid, and `he sente trees of cedre, and werk men of wallis and of trees, that thei schulden bilde to hym an hows.
2 And David knew that YHWH had established him king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel's sake.
And Dauid knewe that the Lord hadde confermyd hym in to kyng on Israel; and that his rewme was reisid on his puple Israel.
3 David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David became the father of more sons and daughters.
And Dauid took othere wyues in Jerusalem, and gendride sones and douytris.
4 These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
And these ben the names of hem that weren borun to hym in Jerusalem; Sammu, and Sobab, Nathan, and Salomon,
5 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Eliphelet,
Jeber, and Elisu, and Heli, and Eliphalech,
6 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
and Noga, and Napheg, and Japhie,
7 and Elishama, and Baaliada, and Eliphelet.
and Elisama, and Baliada, and Eliphelech.
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.
Forsothe the Filisteis herden that Dauid was anoyntid `in to kyng on al Israel, and alle stieden to seke Dauid. And whanne Dauid hadde herd this thing, he yede out ayens hem.
9 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the Valley of Rephaim.
Forsothe Filisteis camen, and weren spred abrood in the valey of Raphaym;
10 David inquired of God, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?" YHWH said to him, "Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand."
and Dauid counselide the Lord, and seide, Whether Y schal stie to Filisteis? and whether thou schalt bitake hem in to myn hondis? And the Lord seide to hym, Stie thou, and Y schal bitake hem in thin hond.
11 So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there; and David said, God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like a breakthrough of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
And whanne thei hadden styed in to Baal Pharasym, Dauid smoot hem there, and seide, God hath departid myn enemyes bi myn hond, as watris ben departid. And therfor the name of that place was clepid Baal Pharasym; and thei leften there her goddis,
12 They left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.
which Dauid comaundide to be brent.
13 The Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.
Forsothe another tyme Filisteis felden in, and weren spred abrood in the valei;
14 And David inquired again of God; and God said to him, "You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come at them opposite the poplar trees.
and eft Dauid counseilide the Lord, and the Lord seide to hym, Thou schalt not stie aftir hem; go awei fro hem, and thou schalt come ayens hem euen ayens the pere trees.
15 And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, that then you shall go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines."
And whanne thou schalt here the sowun of a goere in the cop of the pere trees, thanne thou schalt go out to batel; for the Lord is go out byfor thee, to smyte the castels of Filisteis.
16 David did as God commanded him, and he struck the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
Therfor Dauid dide as God comaundide to hym, and he smoot the castels of Filisteis fro Gabaon `til to Gazara.
17 The fame of David went out into all lands; and YHWH brought the fear of him on all nations.
And the name of Dauid was puplischid in alle cuntreis, and the Lord yaf his drede on alle folkis.
