2 Samuel 5 (WEBP)

[1] Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and spoke, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
[2] In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led Israel out and in. Yahweh said to you, ‘You will be shepherd of my people Israel, and you will be prince over Israel.’ ”
[3] So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh; 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] The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, “The blind and the lame will keep you out of here,” thinking, “David can’t come in here.”
[7] Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. This is David’s city.
[8] 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.”
[9] David lived in the stronghold, and called it David’s city. David built around from Millo and inward.
[10] David grew greater and greater, for Yahweh, the God of Armies, was with him.
[11] Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, with cedar trees, carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.
[12] David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.
[13] 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.
[14] These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
[15] Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
[16] Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
[17] 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.
[18] Now the Philistines had come and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
[19] 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.”
[20] 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.
[21] They left their images there, and David and his men took them away.
[22] The Philistines came up yet again and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
[23] 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.
[24] When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then stir yourself up; for then Yahweh has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”
[25] David did so, as Yahweh commanded him, and struck the Philistines all the way from Geba to Gezer.

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

[1] και παραγινονται πασαι αι φυλαι ισραηλ προς δαυιδ εις χεβρων και ειπαν αυτω ιδου οστα σου και σαρκες σου ημεις
[2] και εχθες και τριτην οντος σαουλ βασιλεως εφ ημιν συ ησθα ο εξαγων και εισαγων τον ισραηλ και ειπεν κυριος προς σε συ ποιμανεις τον λαον μου τον ισραηλ και συ εσει εις ηγουμενον επι τον ισραηλ
[3] και ερχονται παντες οι πρεσβυτεροι ισραηλ προς τον βασιλεα εις χεβρων και διεθετο αυτοις ο βασιλευς δαυιδ διαθηκην εν χεβρων ενωπιον κυριου και χριουσιν τον δαυιδ εις βασιλεα επι παντα ισραηλ
[4] υιος τριακοντα ετων δαυιδ εν τω βασιλευσαι αυτον και τεσσαρακοντα ετη εβασιλευσεν
[5] επτα ετη και εξ μηνας εβασιλευσεν εν χεβρων επι τον ιουδαν και τριακοντα τρια ετη εβασιλευσεν επι παντα ισραηλ και ιουδαν εν ιερουσαλημ
[6] και απηλθεν δαυιδ και οι ανδρες αυτου εις ιερουσαλημ προς τον ιεβουσαιον τον κατοικουντα την γην και ερρεθη τω δαυιδ ουκ εισελευσει ωδε οτι αντεστησαν οι τυφλοι και οι χωλοι λεγοντες οτι ουκ εισελευσεται δαυιδ ωδε
[7] και κατελαβετο δαυιδ την περιοχην σιων αυτη η πολις του δαυιδ
[8] 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
[9] και εκαθισεν δαυιδ εν τη περιοχη και εκληθη αυτη η πολις δαυιδ και ωκοδομησεν την πολιν κυκλω απο της ακρας και τον οικον αυτου
[10] και επορευετο δαυιδ πορευομενος και μεγαλυνομενος και κυριος παντοκρατωρ μετ αυτου
[11] και απεστειλεν χιραμ βασιλευς τυρου αγγελους προς δαυιδ και ξυλα κεδρινα και τεκτονας ξυλων και τεκτονας λιθων και ωκοδομησαν οικον τω δαυιδ
[12] και εγνω δαυιδ οτι ητοιμασεν αυτον κυριος εις βασιλεα επι ισραηλ και οτι επηρθη η βασιλεια αυτου δια τον λαον αυτου ισραηλ
[13] και ελαβεν δαυιδ ετι γυναικας και παλλακας εξ ιερουσαλημ μετα το ελθειν αυτον εκ χεβρων και εγενοντο τω δαυιδ ετι υιοι και θυγατερες
[14] και ταυτα τα ονοματα των γεννηθεντων αυτω εν ιερουσαλημ σαμμους και σωβαβ και ναθαν και σαλωμων
[15] και εβεαρ και ελισους και ναφεκ και ιεφιες
[16] και ελισαμα και ελιδαε και ελιφαλαθ (5:16Α) σαμαε ιεσσιβαθ ναθαν γαλαμααν ιεβααρ θεησους ελφαλατ ναγεδ ναφεκ ιαναθα λεασαμυς βααλιμαθ ελιφαλαθ
[17] 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
[18] και οι αλλοφυλοι παραγινονται και συνεπεσαν εις την κοιλαδα των τιτανων
[19] 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
[20] 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
[21] και καταλιμπανουσιν εκει τους θεους αυτων και ελαβοσαν αυτους δαυιδ και οι ανδρες οι μετ αυτου
[22] και προσεθεντο ετι αλλοφυλοι του αναβηναι και συνεπεσαν εν τη κοιλαδι των τιτανων
[23] και επηρωτησεν δαυιδ δια κυριου και ειπεν κυριος ουκ αναβησει εις συναντησιν αυτων αποστρεφου απ αυτων και παρεσει αυτοις πλησιον του κλαυθμωνος
[24] και εσται εν τω ακουσαι σε την φωνην του συγκλεισμου του αλσους του κλαυθμωνος τοτε καταβησει προς αυτους οτι τοτε εξελευσεται κυριος εμπροσθεν σου κοπτειν εν τω πολεμω των αλλοφυλων
[25] και εποιησεν δαυιδ καθως ενετειλατο αυτω κυριος και επαταξεν τους αλλοφυλους απο γαβαων εως της γης γαζηρα
