2 Samuel 5
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
David, împărat peste tot Israelul
5 Toate seminţiile lui Israel au venit(A) la David, în Hebron, şi au zis: „Iată că noi suntem os(B) din oasele tale şi carne din carnea ta. 2 Chiar odinioară, când Saul era împăratul nostru, tu(C) povăţuiai şi strângeai pe Israel. Domnul ţi-a zis: ‘Tu vei paşte(D) pe poporul Meu Israel şi vei fi căpetenia lui Israel’.” 3 Astfel, toţi bătrânii lui Israel au(E) venit la împărat, în Hebron, şi împăratul(F) David a făcut legământ cu ei la Hebron, înaintea(G) Domnului. Şi au uns pe David împărat peste Israel. 4 David era în vârstă de treizeci de ani când s-a făcut împărat şi a domnit(H) patruzeci de ani. 5 La Hebron, a domnit peste Iuda şapte(I) ani şi şase luni şi, la Ierusalim, a domnit treizeci şi trei de ani peste tot Israelul şi Iuda.
Cucerirea Ierusalimului
6 Împăratul a mers cu oamenii lui asupra Ierusalimului(J) împotriva iebusiţilor(K), locuitorii ţării. Ei au zis lui David: „Să nu intri aici, căci şi orbii, şi ologii ţi se vor împotrivi!” Prin aceasta voiau să spună că David nu va intra cu niciun chip aici. 7 Dar David a pus mâna pe cetăţuia Sionului: aceasta(L) este cetatea lui David. 8 David zisese în ziua aceea: „Oricine va bate pe iebusiţi să arunce în canal pe şchiopii şi pe orbii aceia care sunt vrăjmaşii lui David(M)”. De aceea se zice: „Orbul şi şchiopul să nu intre în Casa Domnului.” 9 David s-a aşezat în cetăţuie, pe care a numit-o cetatea(N) lui David. A făcut întărituri de jur împrejur, în afară şi înăuntrul lui Milo (Cetăţuie). 10 David ajungea tot mai mare şi Domnul, Dumnezeul oştirilor, era cu el.
Casa lui David
11 Hiram(O), împăratul Tirului, a trimis soli lui David şi lemn de cedru, şi tâmplari, şi cioplitori de piatră, care au zidit o casă lui David. 12 David a cunoscut că Domnul îl întărea ca împărat al lui Israel şi că-i ridica împărăţia din pricina poporului Său, Israel. 13 David(P) şi-a mai luat ţiitoare şi neveste din Ierusalim după ce a venit din Hebron şi i s-au născut iarăşi fii şi fiice. 14 Iată(Q) numele celor ce i s-au născut la Ierusalim: Şamua, Şobab, Natan, Solomon, 15 Ibhar, Elişua, Nefeg, Iafia, 16 Elişama, Eliada şi Elifelet.
Biruinţele asupra filistenilor
17 Filistenii au aflat(R) că David fusese uns împărat peste Israel şi s-au suit toţi să-l caute. David, căruia i s-a dat de ştire, s-a pogorât(S) în cetăţuie. 18 Filistenii au venit şi s-au răspândit în valea(T) Refaim. 19 David a(U) întrebat pe Domnul: „Să mă sui împotriva filistenilor? Îi vei da în mâinile mele?” Şi Domnul a zis lui David: „Suie-te, căci voi da pe filisteni în mâinile tale.” 20 David a venit la Baal-Peraţim(V), unde i-a bătut. Apoi a zis: „Domnul a risipit pe vrăjmaşii mei dinaintea mea, ca nişte ape care se rup.” De aceea s-a dat locului aceluia numele Baal-Peraţim (Şesul rupturii). 21 Ei şi-au lăsat idolii acolo şi David şi oamenii lui i-au luat(W). 22 Filistenii(X) s-au suit din nou şi s-au răspândit în valea Refaim. 23 David a întrebat(Y) pe Domnul. Şi Domnul a zis: „Să nu te sui, ci ia-i pe la spate şi mergi asupra lor în dreptul duzilor. 24 Când vei auzi un vuiet(Z) de paşi în vârfurile duzilor, atunci să te grăbeşti, căci Domnul(AA) merge înaintea ta, ca să bată oştirea filistenilor.” 25 David a făcut cum îi poruncise Domnul şi a bătut pe filisteni de la Gheba(AB) până la Ghezer(AC).
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.

Tree of Life Version
All Israel Anoints David King
5 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and spoke saying, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood. 2 Even before, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led Israel out and back. Also Adonai said to you, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel and be ruler over Israel.’” 3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David cut a covenant with them at Hebron before Adonai. Then they anointed David king over Israel. 4 David was 30 years old when he began to reign and he reigned 40 years. 5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned 33 years over all Israel and Judah.
Securing Jerusalem
6 Now the king and his soldiers marched to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the region. But they said to David, “You’ll never get in here! Even the blind and the lame could ward you off,” thinking, “David can’t get in here.” 7 Nevertheless, David did capture the stronghold of Zion (that is, the City of David). 8 On that day David said, “Whoever would conquer the Jebusites must strike through the water shaft to those ‘lame and blind’ whom David’s soul despises.” That is why they used to say, “The blind or lame couldn’t get into the house.” 9 So David occupied the stronghold and renamed it the City of David. Then David fortified it all round from the Millo inward. 10 David continued to grow stronger, for Adonai Elohim-Tzva’ot was with him.
11 Then King Hiram of Tyre sent envoys to David with cedar logs, carpenters and masons; and they built a palace for David. 12 David then realized that Adonai had established him as king over Israel, and that He had exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
13 Then David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, after he came from Hebron, and more sons and daughters were born to David. 14 Now 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.
Master of Breakthroughs
17 Now when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over Israel, all the Philistines marched up searching for David. When David heard about it, he went down to the stronghold. 18 The Philistines came and spread out in the valley of Rephaim. 19 Then David inquired of Adonai saying, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You give them over into my hand?”
Adonai answered David, “Go up, for I will certainly give the Philistines over into your hand.”
20 So David came to Baal-perazim[a] and David struck them down there. So he said, “Adonai has broken through my enemies before me like the breakthrough of waters!” That is why he named that place Baal-perazim. 21 They abandoned their idols there, so David and his men removed them.
22 But the Philistines marched up and spread out in the valley of Rephaim again. 23 When David inquired of Adonai, He said, “Do not go up; instead circle around behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees. 24 Now it will be when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you must act, for then Adonai will have gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines. 25 David did just as Adonai had commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines from Geba as far as Gezer.
