وَأَرْسَلَ حِيرَامُ مَلِكُ صُورَ رُسُلًا إِلَى دَاوُدَ وَخَشَبَ أَرْزٍ وَبَنَّائِينَ وَنَجَّارِينَ لِيَبْنُوا لَهُ بَيْتًا. ١ 1
Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, carpenters, and masons. They built a house for him.
وَعَلِمَ دَاوُدُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَثْبَتَهُ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّ مَمْلَكَتَهُ ٱرْتَفَعَتْ مُتَصَاعِدَةً مِنْ أَجْلِ شَعْبِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢ 2
David knew that Yahweh had established him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted on high for the sake of his people Israel.
وَأَخَذَ دَاوُدُ نِسَاءً أَيْضًا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَوَلَدَ أَيْضًا دَاوُدُ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. ٣ 3
In Jerusalem, David took more wives, and he became the father of more sons and daughters.
وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ ٱلْأَوْلَادِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا لَهُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ: شَمُّوعُ وَشُوبَابُ وَنَاثَانُ وَسُلَيْمَانُ ٤ 4
These were the names of the children who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
وَيِبْحَارُ وَأَلِيشُوعُ وَأَلِفَالَطُ ٥ 5
Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
وَنُوجَهُ وَنَافَجُ وَيَافِيعُ ٦ 6
Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
وَأَلِيشَمَعُ وَبَعَلْيَادَاعُ وَأَلِيفَلَطُ. ٧ 7
Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
وَسَمِعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ أَنَّ دَاوُدَ قَدْ مُسِحَ مَلِكًا عَلَى كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَصَعِدَ كُلُّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ لِيُفَتِّشُوا عَلَى دَاوُدَ. وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ دَاوُدُ خَرَجَ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِهِمْ. ٨ 8
Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, they all went out looking for him. But David heard about it and went out against them.
فَجَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَٱنْتَشَرُوا فِي وَادِي ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ. ٩ 9
Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the Valley of Rephaim.
فَسَأَلَ دَاوُدُ مِنَ ٱللهِ قَائِلًا: «أَأَصْعَدُ عَلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فَتَدْفَعُهُمْ لِيَدِي؟» فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱصْعَدْ فَأَدْفَعَهُمْ لِيَدِكَ». ١٠ 10
Then David asked for help from God. He said, “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you give victory over them?” Yahweh said to him, “Attack, for I will certainly give them to you.”
فَصَعِدُوا إِلَى بَعْلِ فَرَاصِيمَ وَضَرَبَهُمْ دَاوُدُ هُنَاكَ. وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «قَدِ ٱقْتَحَمَ ٱللهُ أَعْدَائِي بِيَدِي كَٱقْتِحَامِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ». لِذَلِكَ دَعَوْا ٱسْمَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ «بَعْلَ فَرَاصِيمَ». ١١ 11
So they came up to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He commented, “God has burst through my enemies by my hand like a bursting flood of water.” So the name of that place became Baal Perazim.
وَتَرَكُوا هُنَاكَ آلِهَتَهُمْ، فَأَمَرَ دَاوُدُ فَأُحْرِقَتْ بِٱلنَّارِ. ١٢ 12
The Philistines abandoned their gods there, and David gave an order that they should be burned.
ثُمَّ عَادَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ أَيْضًا وَٱنْتَشَرُوا فِي ٱلْوَادِي. ١٣ 13
Then the Philistines raided the valley yet again.
فَسَأَلَ أَيْضًا دَاوُدُ مِنَ ٱللهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱللهُ: «لَا تَصْعَدْ وَرَاءَهُمْ، تَحَوَّلْ عَنْهُمْ وَهَلُمَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مُقَابِلَ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْبُكَا. ١٤ 14
So David asked for help from God again. God said to him, “You must not attack their front, but rather circle around behind them and come on them through the balsam woods.
وَعِنْدَمَا تَسْمَعُ صَوْتَ خَطَوَاتٍ فِي رُؤُوسِ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْبُكَا فَٱخْرُجْ حِينَئِذٍ لِلْحَرْبِ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ يَخْرُجُ أَمَامَكَ لِضَرْبِ مَحَلَّةِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ». ١٥ 15
When you hear the sound of marching in the wind blowing through the balsam treetops, then attack with force. Do this because God will have gone out before you to attack the army of the Philistines.”
فَفَعَلَ دَاوُدُ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ ٱللهُ، وَضَرَبُوا مَحَلَّةَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مِنْ جِبْعُونَ إِلَى جَازِرَ. ١٦ 16
So David did as God had commanded him. He defeated the army of the Philistines from Gibeon all the way to Gezer.
وَخَرَجَ ٱسْمُ دَاوُدَ إِلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي، وَجَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ هَيْبَتَهُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْأُمَمِ. ١٧ 17
Then David's fame went out into all lands, and Yahweh caused all nations to fear him.
