1. Tarihler 14

¹Sur Kralı Hiram, Davut’a ulaklar, sedir keresteleri, duvar ustaları ve onun için bir ev inşa etmek üzere ahşap işçileri gönderdi.

²Davut, Rab’bin kendisini İsrail üzerine kral olarak hazırladığını ve krallığının, O’nun halkı İsrail uğruna büyük bir yüksekliğe ulaştırıldığını anladı.

³Davut Yeruşalim’de daha başka kadınlar da aldı ve Davut’un daha birçok oğlu ve kızı doğdu.

⁴Yeruşalim’de onun için doğmuş olanların isimleri şunlardı: Samaa, Sobab, Natan ve Salomon,

⁵İbaar, Elisae ve Elifalet,

⁶Nageth, Nafag ve İafie,

⁷Elisamae, Eliade ve Elifalet.

⁸Yabancılar Davut’un bütün İsrail üzerine kral olarak meshedildiğini duyunca, tüm yabancılar Davut’u aramak üzere yola çıktılar; Davut bunu duyunca onları karşılamak üzere çıktı.

⁹Yabancılar gelip Devler Vadisi’ne hücum ettiler.

¹⁰Davut Tanrı aracılığıyla sorarak, “Yabancıların üzerine çıkayım mı? Onları ellerime teslim edecek misin?” dedi. Rab ona, “Çık, onları senin ellerine teslim edeceğim” dedi.

¹¹Böylece Baal Farasin’e çıktılar ve Davut onları orada bozguna uğrattı; Davut, “Tanrı, düşmanlarımı benim elimle suyun yarılması gibi yarıp geçti” dedi. Bu yüzden o yerin adını Farasin Yarılması koydu.

¹²Yabancılar kendi tanrılarını orada bıraktılar; Davut onların ateşte tamamen yakılmasını emretti.

¹³Yabancılar bir kez daha gelip yine Devler Vadisi’ne hücum ettiler.

¹⁴Davut yine Tanrı’ya danıştı ve Tanrı ona, “Onların arkasından gitmeyeceksin; onlardan uzaklaş ve armut ağaçlarının yakınında onlara karşı hazır bulun” dedi.

¹⁵“Armut ağaçlarının uçlarındaki sarsıntının sesini işittiğin an savaşa gireceksin; çünkü Tanrı, yabancıların ordugahını bozguna uğratmak için senin önünden çıkmıştır.”

¹⁶Davut Tanrı’nın kendisine buyurduğu gibi yaptı ve yabancıların ordugahını Gibeon’dan Gezer’e kadar bozguna uğrattılar.

¹⁷Böylece Davut’un ismi bütün yeryüzünde duyuldu ve Rab ondan duyulan korkuyu bütün ulusların üzerine verdi.

¹ΚΑΙ ἀπέστειλε Χιρὰμ βασιλεὺς Τύρου ἀγγέλους πρὸς Δαυὶδ καὶ ξύλα κέδρινα καὶ οἰκοδόμους καὶ τέκτονας ξύλων τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι αὐτῷ οἶκον.

²καὶ ἔγνω Δαυὶδ ὅτι ἡτοίμασεν αὐτὸν Κύριος εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραήλ, ὅτι ηὐξήθη εἰς ὕψος ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ διὰ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ.

³Καὶ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ ἔτι γυναῖκας ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἐτέχθησαν Δαυὶδ ἔτι υἱοὶ καὶ θυγατέρες.

⁴καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν τῶν τεχθέντων, οἳ ἦσαν αὐτῷ ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ· Σαμαά, Σωβάβ, Νάθαν καὶ Σαλωμὼν

⁵καὶ ᾿Ιβαὰρ καὶ ᾿Ελισαὲ καὶ ᾿Ελιφαλὲτ

⁶καὶ Ναγὲθ καὶ Ναφὰγ καὶ ᾿Ιαφιὲ

⁷καὶ ᾿Ελισαμαὲ καὶ ᾿Ελιαδὲ καὶ ᾿Ελιφαλέτ.

⁸Καὶ ἤκουσαν ἀλλόφυλοι ὅτι ἐχρίσθη Δαυὶδ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ πάντα ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἀνέβησαν πάντες οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ζητῆσαι τὸν Δαυίδ· καὶ ἤκουσε Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῖς.

⁹καὶ ἀλλόφυλοι ἦλθον καὶ συνέπεσον ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τῶν γιγάντων.

¹⁰καὶ ἐπηρώτησε Δαυὶδ διὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ λέγων· εἰ ἀναβῶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ δώσεις αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χεῖράς μου; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Κύριος· ἀνάβηθι, καὶ δώσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου.

¹¹καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς Βαὰλ Φαρασὶν καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ Δαυίδ· καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· διέκοψεν ὁ Θεὸς τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου ἐν χειρί μου ὡς διακοπὴν ὕδατος· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου Διακοπὴ Φαρασίν.

¹²καὶ ἐγκατέλιπον ἐκεῖ τοὺς θεοὺς αὐτῶν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι, καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ κατακαῦσαι αὐτοὺς ἐν πυρί.

¹³καὶ προσέθεντο ἔτι ἀλλόφυλοι καὶ συνέπεσαν ἔτι ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τῶν γιγάντων.

¹⁴καὶ ἠρώτησε Δαυὶδ ἔτι ἐν Θεῷ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Θεός· οὐ πορεύσῃ ὀπίσω αὐτῶν, ἀποστρέφου ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν καὶ παρέσῃ αὐτοῖς πλησίον τῶν ἀπίων·

¹⁵καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαί σε τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ συσσεισμοῦ τῶν ἄκρων τῶν ἀπίων, τότε εἰσελεύσῃ εἰς τὸν πόλεμον, ὅτι ἐξῆλθεν ὁ Θεὸς ἔμπροσθέν σου τοῦ πατάξαι τὴν παρεμβολὴν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων.

¹⁶καὶ ἐποίησε καθὼς ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ ὁ Θεός, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὴν παρεμβολὴν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων ἀπὸ Γαβαὼν ἕως Γαζηρά.

¹⁷καὶ ἐγένετο ὄνομα Δαυὶδ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ, καὶ Κύριος ἔδωκε τὸν φόβον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη.

¹And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar timbers, and masons, and carpenters, to build a house for him.

²And David knew that the Lord [had] designed him to be king over Israel; because his kingdom was highly exalted, on account of his people Israel.

³And David took more wives in Jerusalem: and there were born to David more sons and daughters.

⁴And these [are] the names of those that were born, who were [born] to him in Jerusalem; Samaa, Sobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

⁵and Baar, and Elisa, and Eliphaleth,

⁶and Nageth, and Naphath, and Japhie,

⁷and Elisamae, and Eliade, and Eliphala.

⁸And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel: and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard [it], and went out to meet them.

⁹And the Philistines came and assembled together in the giants’ valley.

¹⁰And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into thy hands.

¹¹And he went up to Baal Pharasin, and David smote them there; and David said, God has broken through enemies by my hand like a breach of water: therefore he called the name of that place, the Breach of Pharasin.

¹²And the Philistines left their gods there; and David gave orders to burn them with fire.

¹³And the Philistines once more assembled themselves in the giants’ valley.

¹⁴And David enquired of God again; and God said to him, Thou shalt not go after them; turn away from them, and thou shalt come upon them near the pear trees.

¹⁵And it shall be, when thou shalt hear the sound of their tumult in the tops of the pear trees, then thou shalt go into the battle: for God has gone out before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.

¹⁶And he did as God commanded him: and he smote the army of the Philistines from Gabaon to Gazera.

¹⁷And the name of David was [famous] in all the land; and the Lord put the terror of him on all the nations.
