א
וַיָּבֹאוּ כָּל-שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, אֶל-דָּוִד--חֶבְרוֹנָה; וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֵאמֹר, הִנְנוּ עַצְמְךָ וּבְשָׂרְךָ אֲנָחְנוּ.
|
1
Then came all the tribes of Yisrael to David unto Hebron, and spoke, saying: 'Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
|
|
ב
גַּם-אֶתְמוֹל גַּם-שִׁלְשׁוֹם, בִּהְיוֹת שָׁאוּל מֶלֶךְ עָלֵינוּ, אַתָּה הָיִיתָה מוציא (הַמּוֹצִיא) וְהַמֵּבִי, 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 Yisrael; and YAHOWAH said to thee: Thou shalt feed My people Yisrael, and thou shalt be prince over Yisrael.'
|
|
ג
וַיָּבֹאוּ כָּל-זִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ, חֶבְרוֹנָה, וַיִּכְרֹת לָהֶם הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד בְּרִית בְּחֶבְרוֹן, לִפְנֵי יְהוָה; וַיִּמְשְׁחוּ אֶת-דָּוִד לְמֶלֶךְ, עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל. {ס}
|
3
So all the elders of Yisrael came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before YAHOWAH; and they anointed David king over Yisrael.
{S}
|
|
ד
בֶּן-שְׁלֹשִׁים שָׁנָה דָּוִד, בְּמָלְכוֹ; אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה, מָלָךְ.
|
4
David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
|
|
ה
בְּחֶבְרוֹן 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 Yisrael and Judah.
|
|
ו
וַיֵּלֶךְ הַמֶּלֶךְ וַאֲנָשָׁיו יְרוּשָׁלִַם, אֶל-הַיְבֻסִי יוֹשֵׁב הָאָרֶץ; וַיֹּאמֶר לְדָוִד לֵאמֹר, לֹא-תָבוֹא הֵנָּה, כִּי אִם-הֱסִירְךָ הַעִוְרִים וְהַפִּסְחִים לֵאמֹר, לֹא-יָבוֹא 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.'
|
|
ז
וַיִּלְכֹּד דָּוִד, אֵת מְצֻדַת צִיּוֹן--הִיא, עִיר דָּוִד.
|
7
Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.
|
|
ח
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, כָּל-מַכֵּה יְבֻסִי וְיִגַּע בַּצִּנּוֹר, וְאֶת-הַפִּסְחִים וְאֶת-הַעִוְרִים, שנאו (שְׂנוּאֵי) נֶפֶשׁ דָּוִד; עַל-כֵּן, יֹאמְרוּ, עִוֵּר וּפִסֵּחַ, לֹא יָבוֹא 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.'
|
|
ט
וַיֵּשֶׁב דָּוִד בַּמְּצֻדָה, וַיִּקְרָא-לָהּ עִיר דָּוִד; וַיִּבֶן דָּוִד סָבִיב, מִן-הַמִּלּוֹא וָבָיְתָה.
|
9
And David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.
|
|
י
וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד, הָלוֹךְ וְגָדוֹל; וַיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי צְבָאוֹת, עִמּוֹ. {פ}
|
10
And David waxed greater and greater; for YAHOWAH, the Eloheem of hosts, was with him.
{P}
|
|
יא
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.
|
|
יב
וַיֵּדַע דָּוִד, כִּי-הֱכִינוֹ יְהוָה לְמֶלֶךְ עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל; וְכִי נִשֵּׂא מַמְלַכְתּוֹ, בַּעֲבוּר עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל. {ס}
|
12
And David perceived that YAHOWAH had established him king over Yisrael, and that He had exalted his kingdom for His people Yisrael's sake.
{S}
|
|
יג
וַיִּקַּח דָּוִד עוֹד פִּלַגְשִׁים וְנָשִׁים, מִירוּשָׁלִַם, אַחֲרֵי, בֹּאוֹ מֵחֶבְרוֹן; וַיִּוָּלְדוּ עוֹד לְדָוִד, בָּנִים וּבָנוֹת.
|
13
And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron; and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.
|
|
יד
וְאֵלֶּה, שְׁמוֹת הַיִּלֹּדִים לוֹ--בִּירוּשָׁלִָם: שַׁמּוּעַ וְשׁוֹבָב, וְנָתָן וּשְׁלֹמֹה.
|
14
And these are the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon;
|
|
טו
וְיִבְחָר וֶאֱלִישׁוּעַ, וְנֶפֶג וְיָפִיעַ.
|
15
and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia;
|
|
טז
וֶאֱלִישָׁמָע וְאֶלְיָדָע, וֶאֱלִיפָלֶט. {פ}
|
16
and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet.
{P}
|
|
יז
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 Yisrael, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.
|
|
יח
וּפְלִשְׁתִּים, בָּאוּ; וַיִּנָּטְשׁוּ, בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִים.
|
18
Now the Philistines had come and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
|
יט
וַיִּשְׁאַל דָּוִד בַּיהוָה, לֵאמֹר, הַאֶעֱלֶה אֶל-פְּלִשְׁתִּים, הֲתִתְּנֵם בְּיָדִי; {פ}
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-דָּוִד עֲלֵה, כִּי-נָתֹן אֶתֵּן אֶת-הַפְּלִשְׁתִּים בְּיָדֶךָ.
|
19
And David inquired of YAHOWAH, saying: 'Shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt Thou deliver them into my hand?'
{P}
And YAHOWAH said unto David: 'Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into thy hand.'
|
|
כ
וַיָּבֹא דָוִד בְּבַעַל-פְּרָצִים, וַיַּכֵּם שָׁם דָּוִד, וַיֹּאמֶר, פָּרַץ יְהוָה אֶת-אֹיְבַי לְפָנַי כְּפֶרֶץ מָיִם; עַל-כֵּן, קָרָא שֵׁם-הַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא--בַּעַל פְּרָצִים.
|
20
And David came to Mount-perazim, and David smote them there; and he said: 'YAHOWAH hath broken mine enemies before me, like the breach of waters.' Therefore the name of that place was called Mount-perazim.
|
|
כא
וַיַּעַזְבוּ-שָׁם, אֶת-עֲצַבֵּיהֶם; וַיִּשָּׂאֵם דָּוִד, וַאֲנָשָׁיו. {פ}
|
21
And they left their images there, and David and his men took them away.
{P}
|
|
כב
וַיֹּסִפוּ עוֹד פְּלִשְׁתִּים, לַעֲלוֹת; וַיִּנָּטְשׁוּ, בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִים.
|
22
And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
|
|
כג
וַיִּשְׁאַל דָּוִד בַּיהוָה, וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא תַעֲלֶה; הָסֵב, אֶל-אַחֲרֵיהֶם, וּבָאתָ לָהֶם, מִמּוּל בְּכָאִים.
|
23
And when David inquired of YAHOWAH, He said: 'Thou shalt not go up; make a circuit behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees.
|
|
כד
וִיהִי בשמעך (כְּשָׁמְעֲךָ) אֶת-קוֹל צְעָדָה, בְּרָאשֵׁי הַבְּכָאִים--אָז תֶּחֱרָץ: כִּי אָז, יָצָא יְהוָה לְפָנֶיךָ, לְהַכּוֹת, 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 YAHOWAH gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.'
|
|
כה
וַיַּעַשׂ דָּוִד כֵּן, כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּהוּ יְהוָה; וַיַּךְ, אֶת-פְּלִשְׁתִּים, מִגֶּבַע, עַד-בֹּאֲךָ גָזֶר. {פ}
|
25
And David did so, as YAHOWAH commanded him, and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gezer.
{P}
