大衛作猶大和以色列的王(A)

以色列眾支派都到希伯崙來見大衛,說:“看哪!我們都是你的骨肉至親。 從前掃羅作我們的王的時候,領導以色列人行動的是你。耶和華也曾對你說:‘你要牧養我的子民以色列,要作以色列的領袖。’” 以色列的眾長老都到希伯崙來見王。大衛王在希伯崙耶和華面前與他們立約,他們就膏立大衛作以色列的王。 大衛登基的時候是三十歲,在位共四十年。 他在希伯崙作猶大的王七年零六個月;在耶路撒冷作全以色列和猶大的王三十三年。

大衛攻取耶路撒冷(B)

王和隨從他的人到了耶路撒冷,要攻打住在那地的耶布斯人。耶布斯人對大衛說:“你不能進這裡來,這些瞎眼的、跛腳的就能把你抵擋住。”他們心裡想:“大衛決不能進那裡去。” 大衛卻攻取了錫安的保障,就是大衛的城。 那一天大衛說:“攻打耶布斯人的,要把大衛心中恨惡的‘瞎子’和‘瘸子’丟進水溝裡。”因此有句俗語說:“瞎眼的或瘸腿的,都不能進殿裡。” 後來大衛住在保障裡,稱保障為“大衛的城”。大衛又從米羅向裡面周圍築牆。 10 大衛漸漸強大,因為耶和華萬軍的 神與他同在。

推羅王助大衛建造宮殿(C)

11 推羅王希蘭差派使者來見大衛,又送來香柏木、木匠和石匠,他們就給大衛建造宮殿。 12 大衛就知道耶和華已經立他作以色列的王,又因自己的子民以色列的緣故,使他的國興盛。

大衛在耶路撒冷所生的兒子(D)

13 大衛離開希伯崙後,在耶路撒冷又娶了多位妃嬪,並且生了很多兒女。 14 以下這些就是他在耶路撒冷所生的孩子的名字: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。

大衛兩次戰勝非利士人(E)

17 非利士人聽見有人膏立了大衛作王統治以色列人,就全體上來搜尋大衛。大衛聽見了,就下到保障去。 18 非利士人來到,散布在利乏音谷。 19 大衛求問耶和華說:“我可以上去攻打非利士人嗎?你會把他們交在我手裡嗎?”耶和華對大衛說:“你可以上去,我必把非利士人交在你手裡。” 20 於是大衛來到巴力.毘拉心,在那裡擊敗了非利士人,說:“耶和華在我面前沖破我的敵人,好像洪水沖破堤岸一般。”因此他給那地方起名叫巴力.毘拉心。 21 非利士人把他們的神像遺棄在那裡,大衛和跟隨他的人就把它們拿走了。

22 非利士人又上來,散布在利乏音谷。 23 大衛又求問耶和華,耶和華說:“你不要直接上去,要繞到他們後面,從桑林對面攻打他們。 24 你一聽到桑林樹梢上有腳步的聲音,就要趕快行動,因為那時耶和華已經在你前面出去擊殺非利士人的軍隊了。” 25 於是大衛照著耶和華所吩咐他的去作,擊殺非利士人,從迦巴直到基色。

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.

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.

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.
