1Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house. 2And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel.
3¶ And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.14.3 more: Heb. yet 4Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon, 5And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet, 6And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia, 7And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.14.7 Beeliada: also called, Eliada
8¶ And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard of it, and went out against them. 9And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 10And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand. 11So they came up to Baal-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.14.11 Baal-perazim: that is, A place of breaches 12And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire. 13And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley. 14Therefore David enquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees. 15And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines. 16David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.14.16 Gibeon: also called, Geba 17And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
Nyumba Ya Daudi Na Jamaa Yake
(2 Samweli 5:11-16)
114:1 1Fal 5:6; Hag 1:8; 2Sam 5:11Basi Hiramu mfalme wa Tiro akawatuma wajumbe kwa Daudi, wakiwa na magogo ya mierezi, waashi na maseremala ili kumjengea jumba la kifalme. 214:2 Hes 24:7; Kum 26:19Naye Daudi akatambua kwamba Bwana amemwimarisha kuwa mfalme juu ya Israeli na kwamba ufalme wake umetukuzwa kwa ajili ya Israeli, watu wake.
314:3 1Nya 3:1; Kum 17:14-17Huko Yerusalemu Daudi akaoa wake wengine zaidi na akawa baba wa wana na mabinti wengi. 414:4 2Sam 5:14; 1Nya 3:5Haya ndiyo majina ya watoto waliozaliwa kwake huko: Shamua, Shobabu, Nathani, Solomoni, 5Ibihari, Elishua, Elpeleti, 6Noga, Nefegi, Yafia, 7Elishama, Beeliada na Elifeleti.
Daudi Awashinda Wafilisti
(2 Samweli 5:17-25)
814:8 1Nya 11:1; 2Sam 5:17; Za 2:1-5Wafilisti waliposikia kuwa Daudi ametiwa mafuta kuwa mfalme wa Israeli yote, wakapanda na jeshi lao lote kwenda kumsaka, lakini Daudi akapata habari hizo, naye akatoka ili kwenda kukabiliana nao. 914:9 Yos 15:8; 1Nya 11:15Basi Wafilisti walikuwa wameingia na kushambulia Bonde la Warefai, 10Hivyo Daudi akamuuliza Mungu: “Je, niende kuwashambulia hao Wafilisti? Je, utawatia mikononi mwangu?”
Bwana akamjibu, “Nenda, nitawatia mikononi mwako.”
1114:11 Za 94:16; Isa 28:21Hivyo Daudi pamoja na watu wake wakakwea mpaka Baal-Perasimu,14:11 Maana yake ni Bwana Afurikae. akawashinda huko. Akasema, “Kama maji yafurikavyo, Mungu amewafurikia adui zangu kwa kutumia mkono wangu.” Kwa hiyo mahali pale pakaitwa Baal-Perasimu. 1214:12 Kut 32:20; Yos 7:15Wafilisti walikuwa wameacha miungu yao huko, Daudi akaamuru iteketezwe kwa moto.
1314:13 2Sam 5:22Kwa mara nyingine Wafilisti wakavamia lile bonde; 1414:14 Yos 8:6-7; 2Sam 5:23hivyo Daudi akamuuliza Mungu tena, naye Mungu akamjibu, “Usiwapandie moja kwa moja, bali wazungukie na uwashambulie kutoka mbele ya hiyo miti ya miforosadi. 15Mara usikiapo sauti ya kwenda juu ya hiyo miti ya miforosadi, hapo ndipo utoke upigane vita, kwa sababu hiyo itaonyesha kwamba Mungu amekutangulia ili kupiga jeshi la Wafilisti.” 1614:16 Yos 9:3; 10:33; 2Sam 5:25Kwa hiyo Daudi akafanya kama alivyoagizwa na Mungu, wakalipiga jeshi la Wafilisti kuanzia Gibeoni hadi Gezeri.
1714:17 Yos 6:27; 2Nya 26:8; Kum 2:25; Za 2:1-12Hivyo umaarufu wa Daudi ukaenea katika kila nchi, naye Bwana akayafanya mataifa yote kumwogopa Daudi.
