¶ Patizan fanmi Sayil yo ak patizan David yo pase lontan ap goumen yonn ak lòt konsa. Men, patizan David yo t'ap vin pi plis chak jou. Patizan fanmi Sayil yo menm t'ap bese.

Men sis pitit gason David vin fè antan li te lavil Ebwon: Pi gran an te rele Amon. Se Akenoam, moun lavil Jizreyèl, ki te manman l'.

Dezyèm lan te rele Kileyab. Se Abigayel, vèv Nabal la, moun lavil Kamèl, ki te manman l'. Twazyèm lan te rele Absalon. Se Maka, pitit fi Talmayi, wa lavil Gechou a, ki te manman l'.

Katriyèm lan te rele Adonija. Se Agit ki te manman l'. Senkyèm lan te rele Chefatya. Se Abital ki te manman l'.

Sizyèm lan te rele Jitreyam. Se Egla, yon lòt madanm David te genyen, ki te manman l'. Yo tout te fèt antan David te rete lavil Ebwon.

Pandan lagè a t'ap kaye ant patizan fanmi Sayil yo ak patizan David yo, Abnè te vin gen plis pouvwa chak jou sou patizan fanmi Sayil yo.

¶ Sayil te gen yon fanm kay ki te rele Rispa. Se te pitit fi Aja. Abnè te kouche avè l'. Yon jou, Ichbochèt rele Abnè, li di l' konsa: -Poukisa w' al kouche avèk yonn nan fanm kay papa m' yo?

Lè Abnè tande sa, li fache anpil. Li di Ichbochèt konsa: -Eske se yon chen k'ap travay pou moun Jida yo mwen ye? Jouk jounen jòdi a mwen pa janm trayi Sayil, papa ou, ni patizan l' yo, ni zanmi l' yo. Mwen goumen rèd mare pou m' pa kite yo tonbe nan men David. Lèfini, pou koulye a w'ap fè m' repwòch pou yon ti pachat mwen te fè ak fanm sa a!

Se pou Seyè a ban m' pi gwo pinisyon ki genyen si mwen pa fè pwomès Bondye te fè David la rive vre.

10 Paske li te fè sèman l'ap wete baton kòmandman an nan fanmi Sayil la pou l' mete David wa sou moun Izrayèl yo ak sou moun Jida yo, soti depi teritwa Dann lan rive teritwa Becheba a.

11 Ichbochèt pa t' ka reponn Abnè anyen sitèlman li te pè l'.

12 Abnè voye kèk mesaje bò kote David pou di li: -Ki moun ki pral gouvènen peyi sa a? Pase yon kontra avè m'. M'ap ede ou pou tout moun Izrayèl yo vin jwenn ou.

13 David reponn li: -Dakò. M'ap pase yon kontra avè ou. Men, m'ap mande yon sèl bagay. Piga ou vin wè m' san ou pa mennen Mikal, pitit fi Sayil la, avè ou. Se sèl jan pou ou parèt devan m'.

14 Apre sa, David voye kèk mesaje bò kot Ichbochèt pou di li: -Renmèt mwen Mikal, madanm mwen. Mwen te bay san po ti kòk moun Filisti pou m' te ka marye avè l'.

15 Ichbochèt voye pran Mikal lakay mari li, Paltyèl, pitit gason Layis la.

16 Paltyèl pati dèyè l', li t'ap kriye sou tout wout la jouk yo rive lavil Baourim. Men Abnè di Paltyèl konsa: -Tounen lakay ou non, monchè! Epi Paltyèl tounen tounen l'.

17 Abnè al jwenn chèf fanmi moun Izrayèl yo pou fè yon koze ak yo. Li di yo konsa: -Depi lontan nou te vle se David ki pou te wa nou, pa vre.

18 Enben, men chans nou. Paske men sa Seyè a te di sou David: Mwen pral sèvi ak David, sèvitè m' lan, pou m' delivre pèp Izrayèl la, pèp mwen an, anba men moun Filisti yo ak anba men tout lòt lènmi l' yo.

19 Anbè pale ak moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo tou. Lèfini, li pati pou Ebwon pou li al di David sa moun pèp Izrayèl yo ansanm ak tout moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo te tonbe dakò pou yo fè.

20 Li rive lakay David lavil Ebwon. Li te gen vin lòt gason avè l'. David fè yon gwo resepsyon pou Abnè ak pou vin moun ki te avè l' yo.

21 Abnè di David konsa: -Monwa, mwen prale koulye a, mwen pral sanble tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo bò kote ou. y'a pase yon kontra avè ou. Konsa, w'a ka gouvènen tout peyi a jan ou vle l' la. David bay Abnè pèmisyon pou li ale. Lèfini, Abnè pati ak kè poze.

22 ¶ Apre sa, Joab ak patizan David yo vin rive. Yo te sot fè yon pase kay lènmi yo, yo te tounen ak anpil bagay yo te pran lakay yo. Lè sa a, Abnè pa t' Ebwon ankò lakay David, paske David te gen tan kite l' ale ak garanti anyen p'ap rive l'.

23 Lè Joab ak sòlda ki te avè l' yo rive, yo di Joab Abnè, pitit Nè a, te vin wè wa a, epi wa a kite l' ale ak garanti anyen p'ap rive l'.

24 Joab al jwenn wa a, li di li: -Sa ou fè konsa? Abnè vin jwenn ou epi ou kite l' ale san ou pa fè l' anyen?

25 Ou konn ki moun yo rele Abnè, pitit Nè a! Si li vini, se pou l' ka woule ou, pou l' ka konnen tout vire tounen ou, pou l' konnen tou sa w'ap fè.

26 Lèfini, Joab soti kay David, li voye moun al chache Abnè san David pa konnen. Yo jwenn Abnè bò sitèn dlo Sira a, yo fè l' tounen.

27 Lè Abnè rive Ebwon, Joab mennen l' apa bò pòtay lavil la tankou si li te vle pale pou kont li avè l'. Epi li ba li yon kout ponya nan vant. Se konsa Joab touye Abnè paske Abnè te touye Asayèl, frè l' la.

28 Lè David vin pran nouvèl la, li di: -Seyè a wè ni mwen ni moun gouvènman yo, nou pa gen anyen pou nou wè nan lanmò Abnè, pitit Nè a.

29 Se pou chatiman an tonbe sou tèt Joab ak tout fanmi li! Se pou toujou gen nan fanmi li moun k'ap gen ekoulman osinon move maladi po, gason k'ap blije fè travay fanm, gason k'ap mouri nan lagè, gason k'ap nan grangou.

30 Se konsa, Joab ak Abichay, frè l' la, te ansasinen Abnè paske Abnè te touye Asayèl, frè yo a, lè batay Gabawon an.

31 Apre sa, David bay Joab ak tout moun ki te avè l' yo lòd pou yo chire rad ki sou yo, pou yo mete rad sak sou yo, lèfini pou yo mache devan sèkèy Abnè a ap kriye. Wa David menm t'ap mache dèyè sèkèy defen an.

32 Yo antere Abnè Ebwon. Apre sa, wa a pran rele byen fò, li t'ap kriye sou tonm Abnè a. Tout pèp la t'ap kriye tou.

33 Wa a pran chante pou plenn lanmò Abnè. Li di nan chante a: -Abnè, poukisa ou mouri bèt konsa?

34 Men ou yo pa t' mare, pye ou yo pa t' nan chenn. Ou mouri tankou moun ki tonbe nan men malfektè! Tout pèp la pran kriye ankò pou Abnè.

35 Apre sa, pandan tout rès jounen an, yo pote manje bay David pou li manje, men David fè sèman sa a: -Se pou Bondye ban m' pi gwo pinisyon ki genyen si mwen mete anyen nan bouch mwen anvan solèy kouche!

36 Tout pèp la vin konn sa. Sa te fè yo plezi. Pou di vre, tou sa David te fè te fè pèp la plezi.

37 Se konsa tout moun David yo ansanm ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo te vin konnen tout bon vre wa a pa t' gen anyen pou l' te wè nan jan yo te ansasinen Abnè, pitit gason Nè a.

38 Wa a di moun k'ap sèvi avè l' yo: -Aa, mesye! Jòdi a pèp Izrayèl la pèdi yon chèf, yon gwo chèf wi!

39 Atout se wa Bondye chwazi a mwen ye, mwen santi m' fèb jòdi a. Pitit gason Sewouya yo twò mechan pou mwen. Se pou Bondye pini krimenèl sa yo pou mechanste yo fè a.

¶ Lè Ichbochèt, pitit Sayil la, pran nouvèl jan Abnè te mouri lavil Ebwon, kè l' kase nèt. Tout pèp Izrayèl la te tèt anba.

Ichbochèt te gen nan lame li a de chèf piyajè ki te rele Bana ak Rekab. Yo te pitit Rimon, yon nonm nan branch fanmi Benjamen an ki te rete lavil Bewòt. Yo te toujou mete nan tèt yo lavil Bewòt se pou branch fanmi Benjamen an li ye,

depi lè moun Bewòt yo te kouri kite lavil la pou y' al lavil Gitayim, kote y'ap viv jouk koulye a.

Jonatan, pitit Sayil la, te gen yon pitit gason yo te rele Mefibochèt. Li te enfim nan tou de pye l' yo. Li te gen senkan lè Sayil ak Jonatan mouri. Lè nouvèl lanmò yo rive soti lavil Jizreyèl, nouris la pran Mefibochèt, li kouri al kache avè l'. Men, pandan l'ap prese kouri a, pitit la sot tonbe nan men l'. Se konsa li vin enfim nan pye.

Rekab ak Bana, pitit gason Rimon, moun lavil Bewòt la, pati pou lakay Ichbochèt. Yo rive vè midi. Lè sa a, Ichbochèt t'ap fè yon ti dòmi pou poze kò l'.

Fanm ki t'ap veye bò pòt la t'ap triye ble, men li te kite dòmi pran l'. Se konsa mesye yo fofile kò yo antre nan kay la.

Lè yo rive anndan, y' al nan pyès chanm kote Ichbochèt te kouche ap dòmi an, yo touye l'. Lèfini, yo koupe tèt li, yo pran l', yo pati avè l'. Yo pase nwit lan ap mache nan fon Jouden an.

Yo pote tèt Ichbochèt bay David lavil Ebwon. Yo di l' konsa: -Men tèt Ichbochèt, pitit Sayil la, moun ki pa t' vle wè ou la, moun ki t'ap chache touye ou la. Jòdi a Seyè a bay monwa chans pou li tire revanj sou Sayil ansanm ak sou rès fanmi li.

¶ David reponn yo: -Mwen fè sèman devan Seyè a ki delivre m' nan tout malè,

10 lè moun ki te vin fè m' konnen Sayil te mouri a te kwè se yon bon nouvèl li t'ap pote ban mwen, mwen pran l', mwen fè touye l' lavil Ziklag. Men rekonpans mwen te ba li pou bon nouvèl sa a.

11 Sa pral pi rèd toujou pou nou, bann mechan, ki touye yon inonsan anndan lakay li, nan kabann li. Mwen pral fè nou peye pou touye nou touye l' la, mwen pral fè yo disparèt nou sou latè.

12 David bay sòlda yo lòd epi yo touye Rekab ak Bana. Yo koupe de men ak de pye yo. Y' al pann yo bò rezèvwa dlo Ebwon an. Apre sa, yo pran tèt Ichbochèt, y' al antere l' Ebwon, nan tonm Abnè a.

¶ Tout branch fanmi Izrayèl yo vin jwenn David lavil Ebwon, yo di l' konsa: -Nou se moun menm ras, menm fanmi avè ou.

Depi lontan, menm sou rèy Sayil, se ou menm ki te kòmande lame pèp Izrayèl la kote l' pase. Lèfini ankò, Seyè a te pwomèt se ou menm ki pral gouvènen pèp li a, pèp Izrayèl la, se ou menm ki pral chèf yo.

Se konsa tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo vin jwenn David lavil Ebwon. Yo pase yon kontra avè l' devan Seyè a. Yo fè seremoni, yo mete l' wa sou pèp Izrayèl la tou.

David te gen trantan lè l' rive wa. Li kòmande pandan karantan.

Antan lavil Ebwon, li kòmande moun Jida yo pandan sètan simwa. Lavil Jerizalèm, li kòmande ni moun pèp Izrayèl yo ni moun pèp Jida yo pandan tranntwazan.

¶ Apre sa, wa David pati pou lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak sòlda li yo, li al atake moun Jebis yo ki te rete nan zòn sa a. Moun Jebis yo te konprann David pa ta ka antre pran lavil la. Yo di l' konsa: -Ou p'ap janm ka rive antre nan lavil nou an. Ata moun je pete ak moun enfim ka gen kont fòs pou mete ou deyò.

Men, David pran gwo fò ki te sou tèt mòn Siyon an. Se li yo rele lavil David la.

Jou sa a, David te di moun pa li yo: -Tout moun ki vle atake moun Jebis yo va pase nan kannal la, y'a tonbe sou bann enfim ak je pete sa yo ki pa vle wè m' yo. Se depi lè sa a yo di moun je pete ak moun enfim pa gen dwa mete pwent pye yo nan Tanp Seyè a.

Apre sa, David al rete nan gwo fò a, li rele l' lavil David la. Lèfini, li bati lòt kay fè wonn fò a, depi sou teras la rive bò palè a.

10 Chak jou David t'ap vin pi fò. Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, te avè l'.

11 ¶ Se konsa, Iram, wa lavil Tir la, delege kèk mesaje bò kot David ak yon chajman bwa sèd. Li voye tou kèk bòs chapant ak bòs mason ki bati yon palè pou David.

12 Lè sa a atò, David wè tout bon vre se Seyè a menm ki te mete l' wa pèp Izrayèl la. Se li menm menm ki te fè tout bagay mache byen pou gouvènman li a, akòz pèp li a, pèp Izrayèl la.

13 Lè David kite lavil Ebwon pou li al lavil Jerizalèm, rive la li pran lòt madanm ak lòt fanm kay ki ba li lòt pitit gason ak lòt pitit fi.

14 Men jan yo te rele pitit David ki te fèt lavil Jerizalèm yo: Chamwa, Chobab, Natan, Salomon,

15 Jibka, Elichwa, Nefèg, Jafya,

16 Elichama, Elyada ak Elifelèt.

17 ¶ Lè moun Filisti yo vin konnen yo te mete David wa pèp Izrayèl la, yo tout yo leve pou y' al mete men sou li. Lè David pran nouvèl la, li desann al kache nan yon fò.

18 Moun Filisti yo rive, yo pran tout fon Refayim lan pou yo.

19 David pale ak Seyè a, li mande l': -Eske se pou m' atake moun Filisti yo? Eske w'ap lage yo nan men m'? Seyè a reponn li: -Wi, atake yo. M'ap lage yo nan men ou.

20 David ale Baal Perazim.li bat moun Filisti yo. Lèfini, li di: -Tankou yon lavalas, Seyè a pase, li louvri yon pasaj pou mwen nan mitan lènmi m' yo. Se poutèt sa yo rele kote sa a Baal Perazim.

21 Moun Filisti yo te kouri kite zidòl yo dèyè nan plenn lan. David ak moun pa l' yo pran yo pote ale.

22 Moun Filisti yo tounen nan fon Refayim lan, yo pran tout plenn lan pou yo ankò.

23 David mande Seyè a sa pou l' fè. Seyè a di l': -Pa atake yo pa devan. Pase pa dèyè yo. Pare kò ou pou ou atake yo bò pye gayak yo.

24 Lè w'a tande yon bri tankou bri pye yon moun k'ap mache sou tèt pyebwa yo, w'a fonse sou yo. Paske sa vle di m'ap pran devan ou pou m' bat lame moun Filisti yo.

25 David fè sa Seyè a te mande l' fè a. Li bat moun Filisti yo, li kouri dèyè yo depi Lavil Gebarive lavil Gezè.

The war between the house of Saul and the house of David lasted a long time.(A) David grew stronger and stronger,(B) while the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.(C)

Sons were born to David in Hebron:

His firstborn was Amnon(D) the son of Ahinoam(E) of Jezreel;

his second, Kileab the son of Abigail(F) the widow of Nabal of Carmel;

the third, Absalom(G) the son of Maakah daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;(H)

the fourth, Adonijah(I) the son of Haggith;

the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;

and the sixth, Ithream the son of David’s wife Eglah.

These were born to David in Hebron.

Abner Goes Over to David

During the war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner(J) had been strengthening his own position in the house of Saul. Now Saul had had a concubine(K) named Rizpah(L) daughter of Aiah. And Ish-Bosheth said to Abner, “Why did you sleep with my father’s concubine?”

Abner was very angry because of what Ish-Bosheth said. So he answered, “Am I a dog’s head(M)—on Judah’s side? This very day I am loyal to the house of your father Saul and to his family and friends. I haven’t handed you over to David. Yet now you accuse me of an offense involving this woman! May God deal with Abner, be it ever so severely, if I do not do for David what the Lord promised(N) him on oath 10 and transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and establish David’s throne over Israel and Judah from Dan to Beersheba.”(O) 11 Ish-Bosheth did not dare to say another word to Abner, because he was afraid of him.

12 Then Abner sent messengers on his behalf to say to David, “Whose land is it? Make an agreement with me, and I will help you bring all Israel over to you.”

13 “Good,” said David. “I will make an agreement with you. But I demand one thing of you: Do not come into my presence unless you bring Michal daughter of Saul when you come to see me.”(P) 14 Then David sent messengers to Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, demanding, “Give me my wife Michal,(Q) whom I betrothed to myself for the price of a hundred Philistine foreskins.”

15 So Ish-Bosheth gave orders and had her taken away from her husband(R) Paltiel(S) son of Laish. 16 Her husband, however, went with her, weeping behind her all the way to Bahurim.(T) Then Abner said to him, “Go back home!” So he went back.

17 Abner conferred with the elders(U) of Israel and said, “For some time you have wanted to make David your king. 18 Now do it! For the Lord promised David, ‘By my servant David I will rescue my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines(V) and from the hand of all their enemies.(W)’”

19 Abner also spoke to the Benjamites in person. Then he went to Hebron to tell David everything that Israel and the whole tribe of Benjamin(X) wanted to do. 20 When Abner, who had twenty men with him, came to David at Hebron, David prepared a feast(Y) for him and his men. 21 Then Abner said to David, “Let me go at once and assemble all Israel for my lord the king, so that they may make a covenant(Z) with you, and that you may rule over all that your heart desires.”(AA) So David sent Abner away, and he went in peace.

Joab Murders Abner

22 Just then David’s men and Joab returned from a raid and brought with them a great deal of plunder. But Abner was no longer with David in Hebron, because David had sent him away, and he had gone in peace. 23 When Joab and all the soldiers with him arrived, he was told that Abner son of Ner had come to the king and that the king had sent him away and that he had gone in peace.

24 So Joab went to the king and said, “What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why did you let him go? Now he is gone! 25 You know Abner son of Ner; he came to deceive you and observe your movements and find out everything you are doing.”

26 Joab then left David and sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the cistern at Sirah. But David did not know it. 27 Now when Abner(AB) returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into an inner chamber, as if to speak with him privately. And there, to avenge the blood of his brother Asahel, Joab stabbed him(AC) in the stomach, and he died.(AD)

28 Later, when David heard about this, he said, “I and my kingdom are forever innocent(AE) before the Lord concerning the blood of Abner son of Ner. 29 May his blood(AF) fall on the head of Joab and on his whole family!(AG) May Joab’s family never be without someone who has a running sore(AH) or leprosy[a] or who leans on a crutch or who falls by the sword or who lacks food.”

30 (Joab and his brother Abishai murdered Abner because he had killed their brother Asahel in the battle at Gibeon.)

31 Then David said to Joab and all the people with him, “Tear your clothes and put on sackcloth(AI) and walk in mourning(AJ) in front of Abner.” King David himself walked behind the bier. 32 They buried Abner in Hebron, and the king wept(AK) aloud at Abner’s tomb. All the people wept also.

33 The king sang this lament(AL) for Abner:

“Should Abner have died as the lawless die?
34     Your hands were not bound,
    your feet were not fettered.(AM)
You fell as one falls before the wicked.”

And all the people wept over him again.

35 Then they all came and urged David to eat something while it was still day; but David took an oath, saying, “May God deal with me, be it ever so severely,(AN) if I taste bread(AO) or anything else before the sun sets!”

36 All the people took note and were pleased; indeed, everything the king did pleased them. 37 So on that day all the people there and all Israel knew that the king had no part(AP) in the murder of Abner son of Ner.

38 Then the king said to his men, “Do you not realize that a commander and a great man has fallen(AQ) in Israel this day? 39 And today, though I am the anointed king, I am weak, and these sons of Zeruiah(AR) are too strong(AS) for me.(AT) May the Lord repay(AU) the evildoer according to his evil deeds!”

Ish-Bosheth Murdered

When Ish-Bosheth son of Saul heard that Abner(AV) had died in Hebron, he lost courage, and all Israel became alarmed. Now Saul’s son had two men who were leaders of raiding bands. One was named Baanah and the other Rekab; they were sons of Rimmon the Beerothite from the tribe of Benjamin—Beeroth(AW) is considered part of Benjamin, because the people of Beeroth fled to Gittaim(AX) and have resided there as foreigners to this day.

(Jonathan(AY) son of Saul had a son who was lame in both feet. He was five years old when the news(AZ) about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel. His nurse picked him up and fled, but as she hurried to leave, he fell and became disabled.(BA) His name was Mephibosheth.)(BB)

Now Rekab and Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, set out for the house of Ish-Bosheth,(BC) and they arrived there in the heat of the day while he was taking his noonday rest.(BD) They went into the inner part of the house as if to get some wheat, and they stabbed(BE) him in the stomach. Then Rekab and his brother Baanah slipped away.

They had gone into the house while he was lying on the bed in his bedroom. After they stabbed and killed him, they cut off his head. Taking it with them, they traveled all night by way of the Arabah.(BF) They brought the head(BG) of Ish-Bosheth to David at Hebron and said to the king, “Here is the head of Ish-Bosheth son of Saul,(BH) your enemy, who tried to kill you. This day the Lord has avenged(BI) my lord the king against Saul and his offspring.”

David answered Rekab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, “As surely as the Lord lives, who has delivered(BJ) me out of every trouble, 10 when someone told me, ‘Saul is dead,’ and thought he was bringing good news, I seized him and put him to death in Ziklag.(BK) That was the reward I gave him for his news! 11 How much more—when wicked men have killed an innocent man in his own house and on his own bed—should I not now demand his blood(BL) from your hand and rid the earth of you!”

12 So David gave an order to his men, and they killed them.(BM) They cut off their hands and feet and hung the bodies by the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-Bosheth and buried it in Abner’s tomb at Hebron.

David Becomes King Over Israel(BN)

All the tribes of Israel(BO) came to David at Hebron and said, “We are your own flesh and blood.(BP) In the past, while Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns.(BQ) And the Lord said(BR) to you, ‘You will shepherd(BS) my people Israel, and you will become their ruler.(BT)’”

When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, the king made a covenant(BU) with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed(BV) David king over Israel.

David was thirty years old(BW) when he became king, and he reigned(BX) forty(BY) years. In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months,(BZ) and in Jerusalem he reigned over all Israel and Judah thirty-three years.

David Conquers Jerusalem(CA)(CB)

The king and his men marched to Jerusalem(CC) to attack the Jebusites,(CD) 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.” Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion(CE)—which is the City of David.(CF)

On that day David had said, “Anyone who conquers the Jebusites will have to use the water shaft(CG) to reach those ‘lame and blind’(CH) who are David’s enemies.[b]” That is why they say, “The ‘blind and lame’ will not enter the palace.”

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[c](CI) inward. 10 And he became more and more powerful,(CJ) because the Lord God Almighty(CK) was with him.(CL)

11 Now Hiram(CM) 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(CN) for the sake of his people Israel.

13 After he left Hebron, David took more concubines and wives(CO) in Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him. 14 These are the names of the children born to him there:(CP) Shammua, Shobab, Nathan,(CQ) Solomon, 15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia, 16 Elishama, Eliada and Eliphelet.

David Defeats the Philistines(CR)

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.(CS) 18 Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim;(CT) 19 so David inquired(CU) 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.[d](CV) 21 The Philistines abandoned their idols there, and David and his men carried them off.(CW)

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(CX) of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, move quickly, because that will mean the Lord has gone out in front(CY) of you to strike the Philistine army.” 25 So David did as the Lord commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines(CZ) all the way from Gibeon[e](DA) to Gezer.(DB)

28 Si yonn nan nou vle fè yon gwo batisman, premye bagay pou l' fè: se pou l' chita pou l' kalkile konbe sa pral koute l' pou l' wè si li gen kont lajan pou l' fin fè travay la.

29 Si l' pa fè sa, l'ap fin poze fondasyon an, epi l' p'ap ka fini batisman an. Lè sa a, tout moun ki va wè sa va pran pase l' nan betiz.

30 Y'a di: Nonm lan kòmanse bati, men li pa kapab fini.

31 Konsa tou, si yon wa vle fè lagè ak yon lòt wa, premye bagay pou l' fè: l'ap chita pou l' egzaminen bagay la byen, pou l' wè si, avèk dimil (10.000) òm, li kapab mache kontre lòt wa a k'ap mache sou li ak venmil (20.000) òm.

32 Si li pa kapab, antan lòt wa a lwen toujou, l'ap voye kèk mesaje bò kote l' pou mande l' fè aranjman.

33 Jezi di yo ankò: Konsa tou, nou yonn la a pa kab disip mwen, si l' pa detache kè l' sou tou sa l' genyen.

34 Sèl, se yon bon bagay; men si sèl la pèdi gou l', ak kisa pou n' fè l' sale ankò?

35 Lè sa a, sèl la pa bon pou mete ni nan jaden ni nan fimye, se jete pou yo voye sa jete. Si nou gen zòrèy pou n' tande, tande.

The Cost of Being a Disciple

25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.(A) 27 And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.(B)

28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, 30 saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’

31 “Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? 32 If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace. 33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.(C)

34 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?(D) 35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out.(E)

“Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”(F)
