1 E ntão todas as tribos de Israel vieram a Davi em Hebrom e disseram: Eis-nos aqui, teus ossos e tua carne!

Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

2 A lém disso, outrora, quando Saul ainda reinava sobre nós, eras tu o que saías e entravas com Israel; e também o Senhor te disse: Tu apascentarás o meu povo de Israel, e tu serás chefe sobre Israel.

In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was thou that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and Jehovah said to thee, Thou shalt be shepherd of my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel.

3 A ssim, pois, todos os anciãos de Israel vieram ter com o rei em Hebrom; e o rei Davi fez aliança com eles em Hebrom, perante o Senhor; e ungiram a Davi rei sobre Israel.

So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah: and they anointed David king over Israel.

4 T rinta anos tinha Davi quando começou a reinar, e reinou quarenta anos.

David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.

5 E m Hebrom reinou sete anos e seis meses sobre Judá, e em Jerusalém reinou trinta e três anos sobre todo o Israel e Judá.

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.

6 D epois partiu o rei com os seus homens para Jerusalém, contra os jebuseus, que habitavam naquela terra, os quais disseram a Davi: Não entrarás aqui; os cegos e es coxos te repelirão; querendo dizer: Davi de maneira alguma entrará aqui.

And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither; thinking, David cannot come in hither.

7 T odavia Davi tomou a fortaleza de Sião; esta é a cidade de Davi.

Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.

8 O ra, Davi disse naquele dia: Todo o que ferir os jebuseus, suba ao canal, e fira a esses coxos e cegos, a quem a alma de Davi aborrece. Por isso se diz: Nem cego nem, coxo entrara na casa.

And David said on that day, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites, let him get up to the watercourse, and smite 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.

9 A ssim habitou Davi na fortaleza, e chamou-a cidade de Davi; e foi levantando edifícios em redor, desde Milo para dentro.

And David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.

10 D avi ia-se engrandecendo cada vez mais, porque o Senhor Deus dos exércitos era com ele.

And David waxed greater and greater; for Jehovah, the God of hosts, was with him.

11 H irão, rei de Tiro, enviou mensageiros a Davi, e madeira de cedro, e carpinteiros e pedreiros, que edificaram para Davi uma casa.

And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.

12 E ntendeu, pois, Davi que o Senhor o confirmara rei sobre Israel, e que exaltara e reino dele por amar do seu povo Israel.

And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.

13 D avi tomou ainda para si concubinas e mulheres de Jerusalém, depois que viera de Hebrom; e nasceram a Davi mais filhos e filhas.

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.

14 S ão estes os nomes dos que lhe nasceram em Jerusalém: Samua, Sobabe, Natã, Salomão,

And these are the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

15 I bar, Elisua, Nefegue, Jafia,

and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

16 E lisama, e Eliadá e Elifelete.

and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet.

17 Q uando os filisteus ouviram que Davi fora ungido rei sobre Israel, subiram todos em busca dele. Ouvindo isto, Davi desceu ã fortaleza.

And when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the stronghold.

18 O s filisteus vieram, e se estenderam pelo vale de Refaim.

Now the Philistines had come and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

19 P elo que Davi consultou ao Senhor, dizendo: Subirei contra os filisteus? entregar-mos-ás nas mãos? Respondeu o Senhor a Davi: Sobe, pois eu entregarei os filisteus nas tuas mãos.

And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Jehovah said unto David, Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into thy hand.

20 E ntão foi Davi a Baal-Perazim, e ali os derrotou; e disse: O Senhor rompeu os meus inimigos diante de mim, como as águas rompem barreiras. Por isso chamou o nome daquele lugar Baal-Perazim.

And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and he said, Jehovah hath broken mine enemies before me, like the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

21 O s filisteus deixaram lá os seus ídolos, e Davi e os seus homens os levaram.

And they left their images there; and David and his men took them away.

22 T ornaram ainda os filisteus a subir, e se espalharam pelo vale de Refaim.

And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

23 E Davi consultou ao Senhor, que respondeu: Não subirás; mas rodeia-os por detrás, e virás sobre eles por defronte dos balsameiros.

And when David inquired of Jehovah, he said, Thou shalt not go up: make a circuit behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees.

24 E há de ser que, ouvindo tu o ruído de marcha pelas copas dos balsameiros, então te apressarás, porque é o Senhor que sai diante de ti, a ferir o arraial dos filisteus.

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 Jehovah gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.

25 F ez, pois, Davi como o Senhor lhe havia ordenado; e feriu os filisteus desde Geba, até chegar a Gezer.

And David did so, as Jehovah commanded him, and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gezer.
