サムエル記Ⅱ 5
Japanese Living Bible
イスラエルの王となったダビデ
5 イスラエルの全部族の代表者たちは、ヘブロンにいるダビデのもとに来て言いました。「私たちは、あなたと血を分けた兄弟です。 2 サウルが王であった時にも、ほんとうの指導者はあなたでした。主は、あなたこそイスラエルの指導者だとおっしゃっています。」
3 ダビデは、ヘブロンに集まったイスラエルの指導者たちと主の前で契約を結び、彼らはダビデをイスラエルの王としました。 4-5 ダビデはすでに三十歳の時から七年間、ユダの王であり、こののちエルサレムで三十三年間、イスラエルとユダの全土を治めることになったのです。ダビデが王位にあったのは、合わせて四十年になります。
ダビデの町エルサレム
6 さてダビデは、エルサレムに入り込んでいたエブス人と戦うために、兵を率いてエルサレムへ向かいました。彼らはダビデにこう豪語しました。「おまえなどに攻め入られてたまるか。おまえなど、歩けない者であろうと、目の見えない者であろうと、だれにでも簡単につまみ出せるわ！」彼らは安心しきっていました。 7 しかしダビデは、現在ダビデの町と呼ばれているシオンの要害を占領したのです。
8 彼らの暴言を耳にしたダビデは、「地下水路を通って町に攻め上り、歩けない、目の見えない憎きエブス人を滅ぼせ」と命じました。このことから、「目の見えない者や足の不自由な者は宮に入ってはならない」と言われるようになったのです。
9 ダビデは、このシオンの要害をダビデの町と呼び、自身の本拠地に定めました。ついで町の旧ミロ地区から北側に、現在のエルサレムの中心部に向かって城壁を築きました。 10 ダビデの勢力はますます強大になっていきました。天地を支配される神、主が共にいたからです。
11 ツロの王ヒラムからは、ダビデ王の宮殿建設のために、上等の木材、大工、石工が送られて来ました。 12 今やダビデは、主が自分を王位につかせ、豊かな王国としてくださったのは、神がイスラエルの民を選び出し、特別な恵みを注ごうとされたからであると、はっきり知ったのです。
13 ヘブロンからエルサレムに移ってからも、ダビデはさらに妻やそばめを迎え入れ、次々と息子や娘をもうけました。 14-16 エルサレムで生まれた子たちは次のとおりです。シャムア、ショバブ、ナタン、ソロモン、イブハル、エリシュア、ネフェグ、ヤフィア、エリシャマ、エルヤダ、エリフェレテ。
ペリシテ人を倒したダビデ
17 ペリシテ人は、ダビデがイスラエルの王になったと聞くと、何とか彼を捕らえようとしました。ペリシテ人来襲の報が伝わると、ダビデは直ちに要害に下って行きました。 18 ペリシテ人は、レファイムの谷一帯に陣を張りました。
19 「打って出て、戦うべきでしょうか。私は勝てるでしょうか。」ダビデは主に伺いを立てました。すると、「打って出なさい。ペリシテ人をあなたの手に渡そう」と主は答えました。 20 そこでダビデは勇んで出陣し、バアル・ペラツィムで彼らと戦い、みごと打ち破りました。「主のおかげだ。主は押し寄せる洪水のように、敵をひと飲みになさった」とダビデが言ったので、そこはバアル・ペラツィム〔決壊〕と呼ばれるようになったのです。
21 その時、ダビデ軍は、ペリシテ人が置き去りにしていった多くの偶像を運び捨てました。 22 しかしペリシテ人はまたも反撃に出て来て、レファイムの谷間に陣を敷いたのです。 23 ダビデは、どうすべきか再び主に伺いました。答えはこうでした。「正面から攻めないで、敵の背後に回り、バルサム樹の林から出て行きなさい。 24 バルサム樹の林の上から行進の足音が聞こえたら、出陣しなさい。それは、わたしが道を備え、必ず敵を滅ぼすという合図である。」
25 ダビデは命令どおりに行いました。そして、ゲバからゲゼルに至るまでペリシテ人を粉砕したのです。
2 Samuel 5
King James Version
5 Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
2 Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the Lord said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel.
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league 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 and three years over all Israel and Judah.
6 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which 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 Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.
8 And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.
9 So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.
10 And David went on, and grew great, 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 an house.
12 And David perceived that the Lord had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.
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.
14 And these be the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
15 Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
16 And Elishama, and 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 hold.
18 The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
19 And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.
20 And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and said, The Lord hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim.
21 And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.
22 And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
23 And when David enquired of the Lord, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
24 And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the Lord go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.
25 And David did so, as the Lord had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.
2 Samuel 5
New King James Version
David Reigns over All Israel(A)
5 Then all the tribes of Israel (B)came to David at Hebron and spoke, saying, “Indeed (C)we are your bone and your flesh. 2 Also, in time past, when Saul was king over us, (D)you were the one who led Israel out and brought them in; and the Lord said to you, (E)‘You shall shepherd My people Israel, and be ruler over Israel.’ ” 3 (F)Therefore all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, (G)and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron (H)before the Lord. And they anointed David king over Israel. 4 David was (I)thirty years old when he began to reign, and (J)he reigned forty years. 5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah (K)seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
The Conquest of Jerusalem(L)
6 (M)And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against (N)the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, “You shall not come in here; but the blind and the lame will repel you,” thinking, “David cannot come in here.” 7 Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion (O)(that is, the City of David).
8 Now David said on that day, “Whoever climbs up by way of the water shaft and defeats the Jebusites (the lame and the blind, who are hated by David’s soul), (P)he shall be chief and captain.” Therefore they say, “The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.”
9 Then David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it (Q)the City of David. And David built all around from [a]the Millo and inward. 10 So David went on and became great, and (R)the Lord God of hosts was with (S)him.
11 Then (T)Hiram (U)king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters and masons. And they built David a house. 12 So David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel, and that He had (V)exalted His kingdom (W)for the sake of His people Israel.
13 And (X)David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron. Also more sons and daughters were born to David. 14 Now (Y)these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: [b]Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, (Z)Solomon, 15 Ibhar, [c]Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia, 16 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
The Philistines Defeated(AA)
17 (AB)Now when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it (AC)and went down to the stronghold. 18 The Philistines also went and deployed themselves in (AD)the Valley of Rephaim. 19 So David (AE)inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?”
And the Lord said to David, “Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
20 So David went to (AF)Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, “The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water.” Therefore he called the name of that place [d]Baal Perazim. 21 And they left their [e]images there, and David and his men (AG)carried them away.
22 (AH)Then the Philistines went up once again and deployed themselves in the Valley of Rephaim. 23 Therefore (AI)David inquired of the Lord, and He said, “You shall not go up; circle around behind them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees. 24 And it shall be, when you (AJ)hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly. For then (AK)the Lord will go out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.” 25 And David did so, as the Lord commanded him; and he drove back the Philistines from (AL)Geba[f] as far as (AM)Gezer.
