Nevertheless David H1732 took H3920 (QalImpf) the strong hold H4686 of Zion: H6726 the same is the city H5892 of David. H1732

και κατελαβετο δαυιδ την περιοχην σιων αυτη η πολις του δαυιδ

David said on that day, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him go up to the watercourse and strike those lame and blind, who are hated by David’s soul.” Therefore they say, “The blind and the lame can’t come into the house.”

And David H1732 said H559 (QalImpf) on that day, H3117 Whosoever getteth up H5060 (QalImpf) to the gutter, H6794 and smiteth H5221 (HiphPtc) the Jebusites, H2983 and the lame H6455 and the blind, H5787 that are hated H8130 (QalPasPtc) of David’s H1732 soul, H5315 he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, H559 (QalImpf) The blind H5787 and the lame H6455 shall not come H935 (QalImpf) into the house.^§ H1004

2 Samuel 5:8 Or, because he had said even the blind and the lame, He shall not come into the house

και ειπεν δαυιδ τη ημερα εκεινη πας τυπτων ιεβουσαιον απτεσθω εν παραξιφιδι και τους χωλους και τους τυφλους και τους μισουντας την ψυχην δαυιδ δια τουτο ερουσιν τυφλοι και χωλοι ουκ εισελευσονται εις οικον κυριου

David lived in the stronghold, and called it David’s city. David built around from Millo and inward.

So David H1732 dwelt H3427 (QalImpf) in the fort, H4686 and called H7121 (QalImpf) it the city H5892 of David. H1732 And David H1732 built H1129 (QalImpf) round about H5439 from Millo H4407 and inward. H1004

και εκαθισεν δαυιδ εν τη περιοχη και εκληθη αυτη η πολις δαυιδ και ωκοδομησεν την πολιν κυκλω απο της ακρας και τον οικον αυτου

David grew greater and greater, for Yahweh, the God of Armies, was with him.

And David H1732 went H3212 (QalImpf) on, H1980 (QalInf) and grew^§ great, H1419 and the Lord H3068 God H430 of hosts H6635 was with him.

2 Samuel 5:10 Heb. went, going and growing

και επορευετο δαυιδ πορευομενος και μεγαλυνομενος και κυριος παντοκρατωρ μετ αυτου

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

And Hiram H2438 king H4428 of Tyre H6865 sent H7971 (QalImpf) messengers H4397 to David, H1732 and cedar H730 trees, H6086 and carpenters, H2796 and masons:^§ H7023 H68 and they built H1129 (QalImpf) David H1732 an house. H1004

2 Samuel 5:11 Heb. hewers of the stone of the wall

και απεστειλεν χιραμ βασιλευς τυρου αγγελους προς δαυιδ και ξυλα κεδρινα και τεκτονας ξυλων και τεκτονας λιθων και ωκοδομησαν οικον τω δαυιδ

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

And David H1732 perceived H3045 (QalImpf) that the Lord H3068 had established H3559 (HiphPerf) him king H4428 over Israel, H3478 and that he had exalted H5375 (PielPerf) his kingdom H4467 for his people H5971 Israel’s H3478 sake.

και εγνω δαυιδ οτι ητοιμασεν αυτον κυριος εις βασιλεα επι ισραηλ και οτι επηρθη η βασιλεια αυτου δια τον λαον αυτου ισραηλ

David took more concubines and wives for himself out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and more sons and daughters were born to David.

And David H1732 took H3947 (QalImpf) him more concubines H6370 and wives H802 out of Jerusalem, H3389 after H310 he was come H935 (QalInf) from Hebron: H2275 and there were yet sons H1121 and daughters H1323 born H3205 (NiphImpf) to David. H1732

και ελαβεν δαυιδ ετι γυναικας και παλλακας εξ ιερουσαλημ μετα το ελθειν αυτον εκ χεβρων και εγενοντο τω δαυιδ ετι υιοι και θυγατερες

When the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David, but David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.

But when the Philistines H6430 heard H8085 (QalImpf) that they had anointed H4886 (QalPerf) David H1732 king H4428 over Israel, H3478 all the Philistines H6430 came up H5927 (QalImpf) to seek H1245 (PielInf) David; H1732 and David H1732 heard H8085 (QalImpf) of it, and went down H3381 (QalImpf) to the hold. H4686

και ηκουσαν αλλοφυλοι οτι κεχρισται δαυιδ βασιλευς επι ισραηλ και ανεβησαν παντες οι αλλοφυλοι ζητειν τον δαυιδ και ηκουσεν δαυιδ και κατεβη εις την περιοχην

David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” Yahweh said to David, “Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your hand.”

And David H1732 enquired H7592 (QalImpf) of the Lord, H3068 saying, H559 (QalInf) Shall I go up H5927 (QalImpf) to the Philistines? H6430 wilt thou deliver H5414 (QalImpf) them into mine hand? H3027 And the Lord H3068 said H559 (QalImpf) unto David, H1732 Go up: H5927 (QalImpv) for I will doubtless H5414 (QalInf) deliver H5414 (QalImpf) the Philistines H6430 into thine hand. H3027

και ηρωτησεν δαυιδ δια κυριου λεγων ει αναβω προς τους αλλοφυλους και παραδωσεις αυτους εις τας χειρας μου και ειπεν κυριος προς δαυιδ αναβαινε οτι παραδιδους παραδωσω τους αλλοφυλους εις τας χειρας σου

David came to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there. Then he said, “Yahweh has broken my enemies before me, like the breach of waters.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.°

2 Samuel 5:20 “Baal Perazim” means “Lord who breaks out”.

And David H1732 came H935 (QalImpf) to Baal-perazim,° H1188 and David H1732 smote H5221 (HiphImpf) them there, and said, H559 (QalImpf) The Lord H3068 hath broken forth H6555 (QalPerf) upon mine enemies H341 (QalActPtc) before H6440 me, as the breach H6556 of waters. H4325 Therefore he called H7121 (QalPerf) the name H8034 of that place H4725 Baal-perazim. H1188

2 Samuel 5:20 That is, the plain of breaches

και ηλθεν δαυιδ εκ των επανω διακοπων και εκοψεν τους αλλοφυλους εκει και ειπεν δαυιδ διεκοψεν κυριος τους εχθρους μου τους αλλοφυλους ενωπιον εμου ως διακοπτεται υδατα δια τουτο εκληθη το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου επανω διακοπων

They left their images there, and David and his men took them away.

And there they left H5800 (QalImpf) their images, H6091 and David H1732 and his men H582 burned H5375 (QalImpf) them.

και καταλιμπανουσιν εκει τους θεους αυτων και ελαβοσαν αυτους δαυιδ και οι ανδρες οι μετ αυτου

When David inquired of Yahweh, he said, “You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them in front of the mulberry trees.

And when David H1732 enquired H7592 (QalImpf) of the Lord, H3068 he said, H559 (QalImpf) Thou shalt not go up; H5927 (QalImpf) but fetch a compass H5437 (HiphImpv) behind H310 them, and come H935 (QalPerf) upon them over against H4136 the mulberry trees. H1057

και επηρωτησεν δαυιδ δια κυριου και ειπεν κυριος ουκ αναβησει εις συναντησιν αυτων αποστρεφου απ αυτων και παρεσει αυτοις πλησιον του κλαυθμωνος

David did so, as Yahweh commanded him, and struck the Philistines all the way from Geba to Gezer.

And David H1732 did so, H6213 (QalImpf) as the Lord H3068 had commanded H6680 (PielPerf) him; and smote H5221 (HiphImpf) the Philistines H6430 from Geba° H1387 until thou come H935 (QalInf) to Gazer. H1507

2 Samuel 5:25 Also called, Gibeon

και εποιησεν δαυιδ καθως ενετειλατο αυτω κυριος και επαταξεν τους αλλοφυλους απο γαβαων εως της γης γαζηρα

David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.

Again, David H1732 gathered together H622 (QalImpf) (Ketiv) H3254 (HiphImpf) all the chosen H977 (QalPasPtc) men of Israel, H3478 thirty H7970 thousand. H505

και συνηγαγεν ετι δαυιδ παντα νεανιαν εξ ισραηλ ως εβδομηκοντα χιλιαδας

David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale Judah, to bring up from there God’s ark, which is called by the Name, even the name of Yahweh of Armies who sits above the cherubim.

And David H1732 arose, H6965 (QalImpf) and went H3212 (QalImpf) with all the people H5971 that were with him from Baale of Judah, H1184 to bring up H5927 (HiphInf) from thence the ark H727 of God, H430 whose name H8034 is called H7121 (NiphPerf) by the name H8034 of the Lord H3068 of hosts^§ H6635 that dwelleth H3427 (QalActPtc) between the cherubims. H3742

2 Samuel 6:2 Or, at which the Name, even the Name of the LORD of hosts was called upon

και ανεστη και επορευθη δαυιδ και πας ο λαος ο μετ αυτου απο των αρχοντων ιουδα εν αναβασει του αναγαγειν εκειθεν την κιβωτον του θεου εφ ην επεκληθη το ονομα κυριου των δυναμεων καθημενου επι των χερουβιν επ αυτης

David and all the house of Israel played before Yahweh with all kinds of instruments made of cypress wood, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with castanets, and with cymbals.

And David H1732 and all the house H1004 of Israel H3478 played H7832 (PielPtc) before H6440 the Lord H3068 on all manner of instruments made of fir H1265 wood, H6086 even on harps, H3658 and on psalteries, H5035 and on timbrels, H8596 and on cornets, H4517 and on cymbals. H6767

και δαυιδ και οι υιοι ισραηλ παιζοντες ενωπιον κυριου εν οργανοις ηρμοσμενοις εν ισχυι και εν ωδαις και εν κινυραις και εν ναβλαις και εν τυμπανοις και εν κυμβαλοις και εν αυλοις
