撒母耳记下 5
1 以色列众支派来到希伯 见大卫，说：“我们原是你的骨肉。
Then came all the tribes of Israel to Dauid vnto Hebron, and said thus, Beholde, we are thy bones and thy flesh.
2 从前扫罗作我们王的时候，率领以色列人出入的是你；耶和华也曾应许你说：‘你必牧养我的民以色列，作以色列的君。’”
And in time past when Saul was our King, thou leddest Israel in and out: and the Lord hath sayde to thee, Thou shalt feede my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captaine ouer Israel.
3 于是以色列的长老都来到希伯 见大卫王，大卫在希伯 耶和华面前与他们立约，他们就膏大卫作以色列的王。
So all the Elders of Israel came to the King to Hebron: and King Dauid made a couenant with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anoynted Dauid King ouer Israel.
4 大卫登基的时候年三十岁，在位四十年；
Dauid was thirtie yeere olde when he began to reigne: and hee reigned fortie yeere.
5 在希伯 作犹大王七年零六个月，在耶路撒冷作以色列和犹大王三十三年。
In Hebron hee reigned ouer Iudah seuen yeere, and sixe moneths: and in Ierusalem hee reigned thirtie and three yeeres ouer all Israel and Iudah.
6 大卫和跟随他的人到了耶路撒冷，要攻打住那地方的耶布斯人。耶布斯人对大卫说：“你若不赶出瞎子、瘸子，必不能进这地方”；心里想大卫决不能进去。
The King also and his men went to Ierusalem vnto the Iebusites, the inhabitants of the land: who spake vnto Dauid, saying, Except thou take away the blinde and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking that Dauid coulde not come thither.
7 然而大卫攻取锡安的保障，就是大卫的城。
But Dauid tooke the fort of Zion: this is the citie of Dauid.
8 当日，大卫说：“谁攻打耶布斯人，当上水沟攻打我心里所恨恶的瘸子、瞎子。”从此有俗语说：“在那里有瞎子、瘸子，他不能进屋去。”
Nowe Dauid had sayd the same day, Whosoeuer smiteth the Iebusites, and getteth vp to the gutters and smiteth the lame and blinde, which Dauids soule hateth, I will preferre him: therefore they saide, The blinde and the lame shall not come into that house.
9 大卫住在保障里，给保障起名叫大卫城。大卫又从米罗以里，周围筑墙。
So Dauid dwelt in that forte, and called it the citie of Dauid, and Dauid built rounde about it, from Millo, and inward.
10 大卫日见强盛，因为耶和华—万军之 神与他同在。
And Dauid prospered and grewe: for the Lord God of hostes was with him.
11 泰尔王希兰将香柏木运到大卫那里，又差遣使者和木匠、石匠给大卫建造宫殿。
Hiram also king of Tyrus sent messengers to Dauid, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons for walles: and they built Dauid an house.
12 大卫就知道耶和华坚立他作以色列王，又为自己的民以色列使他的国兴旺。
Then Dauid knewe that the Lord had stablished him King ouer Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdome for his people Israels sake.
13 大卫离开希伯 之后，在耶路撒冷又立后妃，又生儿女。
And Dauid tooke him more concubines and wiues out of Ierusalem, after hee was come from Hebron, and more sonnes and daughters were borne to Dauid.
14 在耶路撒冷所生的儿子是沙母亚、朔罢、拿单、所罗门、
And these bee the names of the sonnes that were borne vnto him in Ierusale: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Salomon,
15 益辖、以利书亚、尼斐、雅非亚、
And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Iaphia,
16 以利沙玛、以利雅大、以利法列。
And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.
17 非利士人听见人膏大卫作以色列王，非利士众人就上来寻索大卫；大卫听见，就下到保障。
But when the Philistims hearde that they had anoynted Dauid King ouer Israel, all the Philistims came vp to seeke Dauid: and when Dauid heard, he went downe to a fort.
18 非利士人来了，布散在利乏音谷。
But the Philistims came, and spred themselues in the valley of Rephaim.
19 大卫求问耶和华说：“我可以上去攻打非利士人吗？你将他们交在我手里吗？”耶和华说：“你可以上去，我必将非利士人交在你手里。”
Then Dauid asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I goe vp to the Philistims? wilt thou deliuer them into mine handes? And the Lord answered Dauid, Goe vp: for I will doubtlesse deliuer the Philistims into thine handes.
20 大卫来到巴力·毗拉心，在那里击杀非利士人，说：“耶和华在我面前冲破敌人，如同水冲去一般。”因此称那地方为巴力·毗拉心。
Then Dauid came to Baal-perazim, and smote them there, and sayde, The Lord hath deuided mine enemies asunder before mee, as waters be deuided asunder: therefore he called the name of that place, Baal-perazim.
21 非利士人将偶像撇在那里，大卫和跟随他的人拿去了。
And there they left their images, and Dauid and his men burnt them.
22 非利士人又上来，布散在利乏音谷。
Againe the Philistims came vp, and spred themselues in the valley of Rephaim.
23 大卫求问耶和华；耶和华说：“不要一直地上去，要转到他们后头，从桑林对面攻打他们。
And when Dauid asked counsell of the Lord, hee answered, Thou shalt not goe vp, but turne about behinde them, and come vpon them ouer against the mulberie trees.
24 你听见桑树梢上有脚步的声音，就要急速前去，因为那时耶和华已经在你前头去攻打非利士人的军队。”
And when thou hearest the noyse of one going in the toppes of the mulberie trees, then remoue: for then shall the Lord goe out before thee, to smite the hoste of the Philistims.
25 大卫就遵着耶和华所吩咐的去行，攻打非利士人，从迦巴直到基色。
Then Dauid did so as the Lord had commanded him, and smote the Philistims from Geba, vntil thou come to Gazer.
