And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel.
3 大卫在耶路撒冷又立后妃，又生儿女。
And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.

8 非利士人听见大卫受膏作以色列众人的王，非利士众人就上来寻索大卫。大卫听见，就出去迎敌。
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 against them.
9 非利士人来了，布散在利乏音谷。
And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
10 大卫求问 神，说：“我可以上去攻打非利士人吗？你将他们交在我手里吗？”耶和华说：“你可以上去，我必将他们交在你手里。”
And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.
11 非利士人来到巴力·毗拉心，大卫在那里杀败他们。大卫说：“神借我的手冲破敌人，如同水冲去一般”；因此称那地方为巴力·毗拉心。
So they came up to Baal-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
12 非利士人将神像撇在那里，大卫吩咐人用火焚烧了。
And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
13 非利士人又布散在利乏音谷。
And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.
14 大卫又求问 神。 神说：“不要一直地上去，要转到他们后头，从桑林对面攻打他们。
Therefore David enquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
15 你听见桑树梢上有脚步的声音，就要出战，因为 神已经在你前头去攻打非利士人的军队。”
And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, [that] then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.
16 大卫就遵着 神所吩咐的，攻打非利士人的军队，从基遍直到基色。
David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
17 于是大卫的名传扬到列国，耶和华使列国都惧怕他。
And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
