2 Samuel

Chapter 5

1 THEN all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said to him, Behold, we are your flesh and your bone.

2 Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led out and brought in Israel; and the LORD said to you, You shall feed my people Israel, and you shall be a ruler over my people Israel.

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

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

5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.

6 And King David and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, You shall not come in here, except you destroy both the blind and the lame; and they said, David cannot come in here.

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

8 And David said on that day, Whosoever smites a Jebusite and whosoever strikes with a weapon the blind and the lame, he is a hater of David's soul. Therefore they say, The blind and the lame shall not come into the temple.

9 So David dwelt in the fort, that is, Zion; and he called it the city of David. And David built round about the fort from within.

10 And David continued to become greater, and the LORD God of hosts was with him.

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

12 And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.

13 And David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron; and there were more sons and daughters born to David.

14 And these are the names of the sons who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammuah, Shachab, Nathan, Solomon,

15 Jocabar, Elisha, Nepheg, Naphia,

16 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphalet.

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

18 The Philistines also came and encamped in the Valley of Giants.

19 And David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? Wilt thou deliver them into my hands? And the LORD said to David, Go up; for I will deliver them into your hands.

20 And David came to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there, and David said, The LORD has made a breach through my enemies before me, like the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

21 And they left their idols there, and David and his men carried them away.

22 And the Philistines came up yet again and encamped in the Valley of the Giants.

23 And when David inquired of the LORD, the LORD said to him, You shall not go up; but circle behind them, and come upon them opposite Bachim.

24 And when you hear the sound of marching on the top of the mountain of Bachim, then you shall become strong; for then shall the LORD go out before you to smite the army of the Philistines.

25 And David did as the LORD had commanded him; and he smote the Philistines from Geba to the entrance of Gadar.

第5章

1 以色列眾支派來到希伯崙見大衛,說:「請看[Behold],我們原是你的骨肉。

2 從前掃羅作我們王的時候,在以色列中率領人出入[leddest out and broughtest in Israel]的是你;耶和華也曾應許你說:『你必牧養我的民以色列,作以色列的君。』」

3 於是以色列的長老都來到希伯崙見大衛王,大衛在希伯崙耶和華面前與他們立約,他們就膏大衛作以色列的王。

4 大衛登基的時候年三十歲,在位四十年;

5 在希伯崙作猶大王七年零六個月,在耶路撒冷作以色列和猶大王三十三年。

6 大衛和跟隨他的人到了耶路撒冷,要攻打住那[land]的耶布斯人。耶布斯人對大衛說:「你若不趕出瞎子、瘸子,必不能進這[land]」;心裏想:「大衛決不能進去」。

7 然而大衛攻取錫安的保障,就是大衛的城。

8 當日,大衛說:「誰上水溝[getteth up to the gutter]攻打耶布斯人,就是那些[that are]我心裏所恨惡的瘸子、瞎子,誰就作首領元帥[he shall be chief and captain]。」所以他們[Wherefore they]說:「瞎子、瘸子總不能進屋去[The blind and the lame shall not come into the house]。」

9 大衛住在保障裏,給保障起名叫大衛城。大衛又從米羅以內[inward],周圍築牆。

10 大衛日見強盛,因為耶和華─大軍之神與他同在。

11 推羅王希蘭將香柏木運到大衛那裏,又差遣使者和木匠、石匠給大衛建造宮殿。

12 大衛就知道耶和華堅立他作以色列王,又為自己的民以色列使他的國興旺。

13 大衛離開希伯崙之後,在耶路撒冷又立后妃,又生兒女。

14 在耶路撒冷所生的兒子是沙母亞、朔罷、拿單、所羅門、

15 益轄、以利書亞、尼斐、雅非亞、

16 以利沙瑪、以利雅大、以利法列。

17 非利士人聽見人膏大衛作以色列王,非利士眾人就上來尋索大衛;大衛聽見,就下到保障。

18 非利士人來了,布散在利乏音谷。

19 大衛求問耶和華說:「我可以上去攻打非利士人嗎?你將他們交在我手裏嗎?」耶和華說:「你可以上去,我必將非利士人交在你手裏。」

20 大衛來到巴力.毗拉心,在那裏擊殺非利士人,說:「耶和華在我面前沖破敵人,如同水沖去一般。」因此稱那地方為巴力.毗拉心。

21 非利士人將眾像[images]撇在那裏,大衛和跟隨他的人焚燒[burned]了。

22 非利士人又上來,布散在利乏音谷。

23 大衛求問耶和華,耶和華說:「[Thou]不要一直地上去;[but]要轉到他們後頭,從桑林對面攻打他們。

24 你聽見桑樹梢上有腳步的聲音,就要急速前去,因為那時耶和華已經在你前頭去攻打非利士人的軍隊。」

25 大衛就遵著耶和華所吩咐的去行,攻打非利士人,從迦巴直到基色。
