2 Samuel 5
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Naging Hari si David ng Israel(A)
5 Ang lahat ng lahi ng Israel ay pumunta kay David sa Hebron at sinabi, “Kadugo nʼyo po kami. 2 Mula pa noong una, kahit si Saul pa ang hari namin, kayo na ang namumuno sa mga Israelita sa kanilang mga pakikipaglaban. At sinabi sa inyo ng Panginoon, ‘Ikaw ang gagabay sa mga mamamayan kong Israelita gaya ng paggabay ng isang pastol sa mga tupa niya. Ikaw ang magiging pinuno nila.’ ”
3 Kaya roon sa Hebron, gumawa ng kasunduan si David sa mga tagapamahala ng Israel sa presensya ng Panginoon. At pinahiran nila ng langis ang ulo ni David bilang pagkilala na siya na ang hari ng Israel. 4 Si David ay 30 taong gulang nang maging hari ng Israel, at naghari siya sa loob ng 40 taon. 5 Naghari siya sa Juda sa loob ng pitong taon at anim na buwan habang nakatira siya sa Hebron, at 33 taon ang paghahari niya sa buong Israel at Juda habang nakatira siya sa Jerusalem.
Sinakop ni David ang Jerusalem
6 Isang araw, pumunta si David at ang mga tauhan niya sa Jerusalem para salakayin ang mga Jebuseo na nakatira roon. Sinabi ng mga Jebuseo kay David, “Hindi kayo makakapasok dito sa Jerusalem! Kahit mga bulag at pilay ay kaya kayong pigilan para hindi kayo makapasok.” Sinabi nila ito dahil iniisip nilang hindi makakapasok sina David. 7 Pero nasakop ni David at ng mga tauhan niya ang matatag na kampo ng Zion, na tinatawag ngayong Lungsod ni David.
8 Nang hindi pa napapasok ni David ang Jerusalem, sinabi niya sa mga tauhan niya, “Doon kayo dumaan sa daanan ng tubig para makapasok kayo sa Jerusalem at talunin nʼyo ang mga ‘bulag at pilay’ na mga Jebuseo. Kinamumuhian ko sila!” Diyan nagsimula ang kasabihang “Hindi makakapasok ang mga bulag at pilay sa bahay ng Panginoon.”
9 Matapos sakupin ni David ang matatag na kampo ng Zion, doon na siya tumira at tinawag niya itong Lungsod ni David. Pinadagdagan niya ito ng pader sa palibot mula sa mababang bahagi ng lungsod. 10 Lalong nagiging makapangyarihan si David dahil tinutulungan siya ng Panginoong Dios na Makapangyarihan.
11 Nagsugo ng mga mensahero si Haring Hiram ng Tyre kay David kasama ng mga karpintero at kantero, at may dala silang mga trosong sedro para maipagpatayo ng palasyo si David. 12 At naunawaan ni David na ang Panginoon ang nagluklok sa kanya bilang hari ng Israel at nagpaunlad ng kaharian niya para sa mga mamamayang Israelita.
13 Nang lumipat siya mula sa Hebron papuntang Jerusalem, marami pa siyang naging asawa; ang iba sa kanilaʼy mga alipin niya, at nadagdagan pa ang mga anak niya. 14 Ito ang mga pangalan ng mga anak niyang lalaki na ipinanganak sa Jerusalem: Shamua, Shobab, Natan, Solomon, 15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nefeg, Jafia, 16 Elishama, Eliada at Elifelet.
Tinalo ni David ang mga Filisteo(B)
17 Nang mabalitaan ng mga Filisteo na si David ang piniling hari ng Israel, tinipon nila ang lahat ng sundalo nila para hulihin siya. Pero nabalitaan ito ni David, kaya pumunta siya sa isang matatag na kuta. 18 Dumating ang mga Filisteo at nagkampo sa Lambak ng Refaim. 19 Kaya nagtanong si David sa Panginoon, “Sasalakayin po ba namin ang mga Filisteo? Ipapatalo nʼyo po ba sila sa amin?” Sumagot ang Panginoon, “Oo, lumakad kayo, dahil siguradong ipapatalo ko sila sa inyo.” 20 Kaya nagpunta sina David sa Baal Perazim, at doon natalo nila ang mga Filisteo. Sinabi ni David, “Nilipol ng Panginoon ang mga kalaban ko na parang dinaanan ng rumaragasang baha sa harapan ko.” Kaya tinawag na Baal Perazim[a] ang lugar na iyon. 21 Iniwanan doon ng mga Filisteo ang mga dios-diosan nila, at dinala ito ni David at ng mga tauhan niya.
22 Bumalik ang mga Filisteo at muling nagkampo sa Lambak ng Refaim. 23 Kaya muling nagtanong si David sa Panginoon, at sumagot ang Panginoon, “Huwag nʼyo agad silang salakayin kundi palibutan muna, at saka nʼyo sila salakayin malapit sa puno ng balsamo. 24 Kapag narinig nʼyo na parang may nagmamartsang mga sundalo sa taas na bahagi ng puno ng balsamo, dali-dali kayong sumalakay dahil iyon ang tanda na pinangungunahan ko kayo sa pagsalakay sa mga Filisteo.” 25 Ginawa nga ni David ang iniutos ng Panginoon sa kanya, at pinagpapatay nila ang mga Filisteo mula sa Geba[b] hanggang sa Gezer.
2 Samuel 5
Common English Bible
David becomes king of Israel and Judah
5 All the Israelite tribes came to David at Hebron and said, “Listen: We are your very own flesh and bone. 2 In the past, when Saul ruled over us, you were the one who led Israel out to war and back. What’s more, the Lord told you, You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will be Israel’s leader.
3 So all the Israelite elders came to the king at Hebron. King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed David king over Israel.
4 David was 30 years old when he became king, and he ruled for forty years. 5 He ruled over Judah for seven and a half years in Hebron. He ruled thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah in Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is captured
6 The king and his troops marched on Jerusalem against the Jebusites, who inhabited the territory. The Jebusites said to David, “You’ll never get us in here! Even the blind and the lame will beat you back!” “David will never enter here,” they said to each other.[a] 7 But David did capture the fortress of Zion—which became David’s City. 8 “On that day,” David said, “whoever attacks the Jebusites should strike the windpipe because David hates the lame and the blind.”[b] That is why people say, “The blind and the lame will not enter the temple.”[c] 9 David occupied the fortress, so it was renamed David’s City. David built a city around it from the earthen terraces[d] inward.[e] 10 David grew increasingly powerful, and the Lord of heavenly forces was with him.
11 Tyre’s King Hiram sent messengers to David with cedar logs, bricklayers, and carpenters to build David a palace. 12 Then David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel, and that his kingship was held in great honor for the sake of his people Israel. 13 After he left Hebron, David married more secondary wives in Jerusalem and fathered more sons and daughters. 14 The names of his children in Jerusalem were as follows: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia, 16 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
David defeats the Philistines
17 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, they all marched up to find him, but David heard of it and went down to the fortress. 18 The Philistines arrived and spread out over the Rephaim Valley. 19 David asked the Lord, “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?”
“Attack them,” the Lord replied, “because I will definitely hand the Philistines over to you.”
20 So David arrived at Baal-perazim and defeated the Philistines there. He said, “The Lord has burst out against my enemies, the way water bursts out!” That is why that place is called Baal-perazim.[f] 21 The Philistines left their divine images behind, and David and his men carried them off.
22 Once again the Philistines came up and spread out across the Rephaim Valley. 23 When David asked the Lord, God replied, “Don’t attack them directly. Circle around behind them and come at them from in front of the balsam trees. 24 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the trees, then attack, for God has attacked in front of you to defeat the Philistine army.” 25 David followed God’s orders exactly, and they defeated the Philistine army from Gibeon all the way to Gezer.

New International Version
David Becomes King Over Israel(A)
5 All the tribes of Israel(B) came to David at Hebron and said, “We are your own flesh and blood.(C) 2 In the past, while Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns.(D) And the Lord said(E) to you, ‘You will shepherd(F) my people Israel, and you will become their ruler.(G)’”
3 When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, the king made a covenant(H) with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed(I) David king over Israel.
4 David was thirty years old(J) when he became king, and he reigned(K) forty(L) years. 5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months,(M) and in Jerusalem he reigned over all Israel and Judah thirty-three years.
David Conquers Jerusalem(N)(O)
6 The king and his men marched to Jerusalem(P) to attack the Jebusites,(Q) who lived there. The Jebusites said to David, “You will not get in here; even the blind and the lame can ward you off.” They thought, “David cannot get in here.” 7 Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion(R)—which is the City of David.(S)
8 On that day David had said, “Anyone who conquers the Jebusites will have to use the water shaft(T) to reach those ‘lame and blind’(U) who are David’s enemies.[a]” That is why they say, “The ‘blind and lame’ will not enter the palace.”
9 David then took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built up the area around it, from the terraces[b](V) inward. 10 And he became more and more powerful,(W) because the Lord God Almighty(X) was with him.(Y)
11 Now Hiram(Z) king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs and carpenters and stonemasons, and they built a palace for David. 12 Then David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom(AA) for the sake of his people Israel.
13 After he left Hebron, David took more concubines and wives(AB) in Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him. 14 These are the names of the children born to him there:(AC) Shammua, Shobab, Nathan,(AD) Solomon, 15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia, 16 Elishama, Eliada and Eliphelet.
David Defeats the Philistines(AE)
17 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, they went up in full force to search for him, but David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.(AF) 18 Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim;(AG) 19 so David inquired(AH) of the Lord, “Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hands?”
The Lord answered him, “Go, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hands.”
20 So David went to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He said, “As waters break out, the Lord has broken out against my enemies before me.” So that place was called Baal Perazim.[c](AI) 21 The Philistines abandoned their idols there, and David and his men carried them off.(AJ)
22 Once more the Philistines came up and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim; 23 so David inquired of the Lord, and he answered, “Do not go straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the poplar trees. 24 As soon as you hear the sound(AK) of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, move quickly, because that will mean the Lord has gone out in front(AL) of you to strike the Philistine army.” 25 So David did as the Lord commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines(AM) all the way from Gibeon[d](AN) to Gezer.(AO)
