Naging Hari si David ng Israel(A)

Ang lahat ng lahi ng Israel ay pumunta kay David sa Hebron at sinabi, “Kadugo nʼyo po kami. 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.’ ”

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. Si David ay 30 taong gulang nang maging hari ng Israel, at naghari siya sa loob ng 40 taon. 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

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. Pero nasakop ni David at ng mga tauhan niya ang matatag na kampo ng Zion, na tinatawag ngayong Lungsod ni David.

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.”

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.

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

Also 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.

So 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.

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

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

And 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.

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

And 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.

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

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

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

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

13 And 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.

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

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

16 And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

17 But 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.

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

19 And 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.

20 And 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.

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

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

23 And 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.

24 And 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.

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

David Anointed King of Israel

Then all the tribes of Israel (A)came to David at Hebron and said, “Behold, (B)we are your bone and flesh. In times past, when Saul was king over us, (C)it was you who led out and brought in Israel. And the Lord said to you, (D)‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince[a] over Israel.’” So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, (E)and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron (F)before the Lord, and they anointed David king over Israel. David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and (G)he reigned forty years. (H)At Hebron he reigned over Judah (I)seven years and six months, and at Jerusalem he reigned over all Israel and Judah thirty-three years.[b]

(J)And the king and his men went to Jerusalem (K)against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who said to David, “You will not come in here, but the blind and the lame will ward you off”—thinking, “David cannot come in here.” Nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion, (L)that is, the city of David. And David said on that day, “Whoever would strike the Jebusites, let him get up the water shaft to attack ‘the lame and the blind,’ who are hated by David's soul.” Therefore it is said, “The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.” And David lived in the stronghold and called it (M)the city of David. And David built the city all around from the (N)Millo inward. 10 And David became greater and greater, for the Lord, the God of hosts, was with him.

11 (O)And (P)Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, also carpenters and masons who built David a house. 12 And David knew that the Lord had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.

13 And David took more (Q)concubines and wives from Jerusalem, after he came from Hebron, and more sons and daughters were born to David. 14 (R)And 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.

David Defeats the Philistines

17 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. But David heard of it and went down (S)to the stronghold. 18 Now the Philistines had come and spread out in (T)the Valley of Rephaim. 19 And David (U)inquired of the Lord, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you give them into my hand?” And the Lord said to David, “Go up, for I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand.” 20 And David came to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there. And he said, “The Lord has broken through my enemies before me like a breaking flood.” (V)Therefore the name of that place is called Baal-perazim.[c] 21 And the Philistines left their idols there, and David and his men carried them away.

22 And the Philistines came up yet again (W)and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim. 23 (X)And when David inquired of the Lord, he said, “You shall not go up; go around to their rear, and come against them opposite the balsam trees. 24 And (Y)when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then rouse yourself, (Z)for then the Lord has gone out before you to strike down the army of the Philistines.” 25 And David did as the Lord commanded him, and struck down the Philistines from Geba (AA)to Gezer.
