2 Samuel 5

1Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

וַיָּבֹאוּ כָּל־שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־דָּוִד חֶבְרֹונָה וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֵאמֹר הִנְנוּ עַצְמְךָ וּבְשָׂרְךָ אֲנָחְנוּ׃ (2761)

2Also 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.

גַּם־אֶתְמֹול גַּם־שִׁלְשֹׁום בִּהְיֹות שָׁאוּל מֶלֶךְ עָלֵינוּ אַתָּה [הָיִיתָה כ] (הָיִיתָ ק) [מֹוצִיא כ] (הַמֹּוצִיא ק) [וְהַמֵּבִי כ] (וְהַמֵּבִיא ק) אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה לְךָ אַתָּה תִרְעֶה אֶת־עַמִּי אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאַתָּה תִּהְיֶה לְנָגִיד עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ (9691)

3So 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.

וַיָּבֹאוּ כָּל־זִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ חֶבְרֹונָה וַיִּכְרֹת לָהֶם הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד בְּרִית בְּחֶבְרֹון לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיִּמְשְׁחוּ אֶת־דָּוִד לְמֶלֶךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ (4622)

4David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.

בֶּן־שְׁלֹשִׁים שָׁנָה דָּוִד בְּמָלְכֹו אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה מָלָךְ׃ (1967)

5In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.

בְּחֶבְרֹון מָלַךְ עַל־יְהוּדָה שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים וְשִׁשָּׁה חֳדָשִׁים וּבִירוּשָׁלִַם מָלַךְ שְׁלֹשִׁים וְשָׁלֹשׁ שָׁנָה עַל כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל וִיהוּדָה׃ (5315)

6And 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.

וַיֵּלֶךְ הַמֶּלֶךְ וַאֲנָשָׁיו יְרוּשָׁלִַם אֶל־הַיְבֻסִי יֹושֵׁב הָאָרֶץ וַיֹּאמֶר לְדָוִד לֵאמֹר לֹא־תָבֹוא הֵנָּה כִּי אִם־הֱסִירְךָ הַעִוְרִים וְהַפִּסְחִים לֵאמֹר לֹא־יָבֹוא דָוִד הֵנָּה׃ (4225)

7Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.

וַיִּלְכֹּד דָּוִד אֵת מְצֻדַת צִיֹּון הִיא עִיר דָּוִד׃ (1485)

8And 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.

וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד בַּיֹּום הַהוּא כָּל־מַכֵּה יְבֻסִי וְיִגַּע בַּצִּנֹּור וְאֶת־הַפִּסְחִים וְאֶת־הַעִוְרִים [שְׂנֹאו כ] (שְׂנֻאֵי ק) נֶפֶשׁ דָּוִד עַל־כֵּן יֹאמְרוּ עִוֵּר וּפִסֵּחַ לֹא יָבֹוא אֶל־הַבָּיִת׃ (4965)

9So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.

וַיֵּשֶׁב דָּוִד בַּמְּצֻדָה וַיִּקְרָא־לָהּ עִיר דָּוִד וַיִּבֶן דָּוִד סָבִיב מִן־הַמִּלֹּוא וָבָיְתָה׃ (1870)

10And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him.

וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד הָלֹוךְ וְגָדֹול וַיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי צְבָאֹות עִמֹּו׃ (883)

11And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house.

וַיִּשְׁלַח חִירָם מֶלֶךְ־צֹר מַלְאָכִים אֶל־דָּוִד וַעֲצֵי אֲרָזִים וְחָרָשֵׁי עֵץ וְחָרָשֵׁי אֶבֶן קִיר וַיִּבְנוּ־בַיִת לְדָוִד׃ (3713)

12And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.

וַיֵּדַע דָּוִד כִּי־הֱכִינֹו יְהוָה לְמֶלֶךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְכִי נִשֵּׂא מַמְלַכְתֹּו בַּעֲבוּר עַמֹּו יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ (2872)

13And 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.

וַיִּקַּח דָּוִד עֹוד פִּלַגְשִׁים וְנָשִׁים מִירוּשָׁלִַם אַחֲרֵי בֹּאֹו מֵחֶבְרֹון וַיִּוָּלְדוּ עֹוד לְדָוִד בָּנִים וּבָנֹות׃ (2999)

14And these be the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמֹות הַיִּלֹּדִים לֹו בִּירוּשָׁלִָם שַׁמּוּעַ וְשֹׁובָב וְנָתָן וּשְׁלֹמֹה׃ (3130)

15Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

וְיִבְחָר וֶאֱלִישׁוּעַ וְנֶפֶג וְיָפִיעַ׃ (964)

16And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

וֶאֱלִישָׁמָע וְאֶלְיָדָע וֶאֱלִיפָלֶט׃ (744)

17But 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.

וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים כִּי־מָשְׁחוּ אֶת־דָּוִד לְמֶלֶךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּעֲלוּ כָל־פְּלִשְׁתִּים לְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת־דָּוִד וַיִּשְׁמַע דָּוִד וַיֵּרֶד אֶל־הַמְּצוּדָה׃ (5572)

18The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

וּפְלִשְׁתִּים בָּאוּ וַיִּנָּטְשׁוּ בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִים׃ (1799)

19And 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.

וַיִּשְׁאַל דָּוִד בַּיהוָה לֵאמֹר הַאֶעֱלֶה אֶל־פְּלִשְׁתִּים הֲתִתְּנֵם בְּיָדִי וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־דָּוִד עֲלֵה כִּי־נָתֹן אֶתֵּן אֶת־הַפְּלִשְׁתִּים בְּיָדֶךָ׃ (5299)

20And 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.

וַיָּבֹא דָוִד בְּבַעַל־פְּרָצִים וַיַּכֵּם שָׁם דָּוִד וַיֹּאמֶר פָּרַץ יְהוָה אֶת־אֹיְבַי לְפָנַי כְּפֶרֶץ מָיִם עַל־כֵּן קָרָא שֵׁם־הַמָּקֹום הַהוּא בַּעַל פְּרָצִים׃ (4255)

21And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.

וַיַּעַזְבוּ־שָׁם אֶת־עֲצַבֵּיהֶם וַיִּשָּׂאֵם דָּוִד וַאֲנָשָׁיו׃ (1803)

22And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

וַיֹּסִפוּ עֹוד פְּלִשְׁתִּים לַעֲלֹות וַיִּנָּטְשׁוּ בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִים׃ (2562)

23And 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.

וַיִּשְׁאַל דָּוִד בַּיהוָה וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא תַעֲלֶה הָסֵב אֶל־אַחֲרֵיהֶם וּבָאתָ לָהֶם מִמּוּל בְּכָאִים׃ (2217)

24And 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.

וִיהִי [בְּשָׁמְעֲךָ כ] (כְּשָׁמְעֲךָ ק) אֶת־קֹול צְעָדָה בְּרָאשֵׁי הַבְּכָאִים אָז תֶּחֱרָץ כִּי אָז יָצָא יְהוָה לְפָנֶיךָ לְהַכֹּות בְּמַחֲנֵה פְלִשְׁתִּים׃ (4817)

25And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.

וַיַּעַשׂ דָּוִד כֵּן כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּהוּ יְהוָה וַיַּךְ אֶת־פְּלִשְׁתִּים מִגֶּבַע עַד־בֹּאֲךָ גָזֶר׃ (2843)
