2. Krallar (2. Samuel) 5

¹İsrail’in bütün oymakları Hebron’da Davut’un yanına gelip ona şöyle dediler: "İşte, biz senin kemiğin ve senin etiniz."

²Geçmişte, Saul üzerimizde kral iken bile, İsrail’i savaşa götürüp getiren sendin. Ve Rab sana, "Halkım İsrail’i sen güdeceksin ve halkım İsrail’e önder sen olacaksın" demişti.

³Böylece İsrail’in bütün ileri gelenleri Hebron’da kralın yanına geldiler. Kral Davut Hebron’da, Rab’bin huzurunda onlarla bir antlaşma yaptı ve Davut’u bütün İsrail üzerine kral olarak meshettiler.

⁴Davut kral olduğunda otuz yaşındaydı ve kırk yıl krallık yaptı.

⁵Hebron’da Yahuda üzerinde yedi yıl altı ay krallık yaptı; Yeruşalim’de ise bütün İsrail ve Yahuda üzerinde otuz üç yıl krallık yaptı.

⁶Davut ve adamları, o ülkede yaşayan Yevuslulara karşı Yeruşalim’e gittiler. Davut’a şöyle denildi: "Buraya giremeyeceksin, çünkü körler ve topallar sana karşı koydu; 'Davut buraya giremez' diyorlar."

⁷Ancak Davut Siyon Kalesi’ni ele geçirdi (burası Davut’un Kentidir).

⁸Davut o gün şöyle dedi: "Yevusluları vuran herkes, hançerle hem topallara, hem körlere, hem de Davut’un canından nefret edenlere dokunsun." Bu yüzden, "Körler ve topallar Rab’bin evine giremez" derler.

⁹Davut kalede yerleşti ve oraya Davut’un Kenti denildi. Davut, iç kaleden başlayarak çevresini ve kendi evini inşa etti.

¹⁰Davut gittikçe güçleniyor ve büyüyordu; Her Şeye Egemen Rab onunlaydı.

¹¹Sur Kralı Hiram Davut’a elçiler, sedir ağaçları, marangozlar ve taş duvarcıları gönderdi; Davut için bir saray inşa ettiler.

¹²Böylece Davut, Rab’bin kendisini İsrail üzerine kral olarak pekiştirdiğini ve halkı İsrail uğruna krallığını yücelttiğini anladı.

¹³Davut Hebron’dan geldikten sonra, Yeruşalim’den kendine daha çok cariyeler ve karılar aldı; Davut’un daha çok oğulları ve kızları oldu.

¹⁴Yeruşalim’de doğan çocuklarının adları şunlardı: Şammus, Şobav, Natan ve Süleyman,

¹⁵Ebear, Elisus, Nafek ve Yefies,

¹⁶Elisama, Elidae, Elifalat, Samae, Yesibat, Natan, Galamaan, Yebaar, Teesus, Elifalat, Naged, Nafek, Yanatan, Leasamüs, Baalimat, Elifaat.

¹⁷Filistliler Davut’un İsrail üzerine kral olarak meshedildiğini duyunca, hepsi Davut’u aramak için yola çıktı. Davut bunu duyunca kaleye indi.

¹⁸Filistliler gelip Titanlar Vadisi’ne yayıldılar.

¹⁹Davut Rab’be danışıp, "Filistlilere karşı savaşayım mı? Onları elime teslim edecek misin?" diye sordu. Rab Davut’a, "Savaş, çünkü Filistlileri kesinlikle senin eline teslim edeceğim" diye yanıt verdi.

²⁰Davut Yukarı Gedikler’e geldi ve orada Filistlileri bozguna uğrattı. Davut, "Suların yarıldığı gibi, Rab düşmanım olan Filistlileri önümde yarıp geçti" dedi. Bu yüzden o yerin adına Yukarı Gedikler denildi.

²¹Filistliler ilahlarını orada bıraktılar; Davut’la adamları da onları alıp götürdüler.

²²Filistliler bir kez daha gelip Titanlar Vadisi’ne yayıldılar.

²³Davut Rab’be danıştı ve Rab şöyle dedi: "Onların karşısına çıkmak için doğrudan yukarı gitme; onlardan uzaklaş ve onlara Ağlayış Yeri’nin yakınında yaklaş."

²⁴"Ağlayış koruluğundan bir çarpışma sesi duyduğun zaman, hemen onlara karşı aşağı in; çünkü o zaman Rab, Filistlilerin ordusunu vurmak için senin önünden gitmiş olacaktır."

²⁵Davut Rab’bin kendisine buyurduğu gibi yaptı ve Filistlileri Gabaon’dan Gazera topraklarına kadar bozguna uğrattı.

¹ΚΑΙ παραγίνονται πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ πρὸς Δαυὶδ εἰς Χεβρὼν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· ἰδοὺ ὀστᾶ σου καὶ σάρκες σου ἡμεῖς·

²καὶ ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ὄντος Σαοὺλ βασιλέως ἐφ᾿ ἡμῖν, σὺ ἦσθα ὁ ἐξάγων καὶ εἰσάγων τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς σέ· σὺ ποιμανεῖς τὸν λαόν μου τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ σὺ ἔσῃ εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου ᾿Ισραήλ.

³καὶ ἔρχονται πάντες οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ᾿Ισραὴλ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς Χεβρών, καὶ διέθετο αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ διαθήκην ἐν Χεβρὼν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ χρίουσι τὸν Δαυὶδ εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ πάντα ᾿Ισραήλ.

⁴υἱὸς τριάκοντα ἐτῶν Δαυὶδ ἐν τῷ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτὸν καὶ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν,

⁵ἑπτὰ ἔτη καὶ μῆνας ἓξ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Χεβρὼν ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Ιούδαν καὶ τριάκοντα τρία ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ πάντα ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ᾿Ιούδαν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.

⁶Καὶ ἀπῆλθε Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ πρὸς τὸν ᾿Ιεβουσαῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα τὴν γῆν. καὶ ἐρρέθη τῷ Δαυίδ· οὐκ εἰσελεύσῃ ὧδε, ὅτι ἀντέστησαν οἱ τυφλοὶ καὶ οἱ χωλοὶ λέγοντες ὅτι οὐκ εἰσελεύσεται Δαυὶδ ὧδε.

⁷καὶ κατελάβετο Δαυὶδ τὴν περιοχὴν Σιὼν (αὕτη ἡ πόλις τοῦ Δαυίδ).

⁸καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ· πᾶς τύπτων ᾿Ιεβουσαῖον ἁπτέσθω ἐν παραξιφίδι καὶ τοὺς χωλοὺς καὶ τοὺς τυφλοὺς καὶ τοὺς μισοῦντας τὴν ψυχὴν Δαυίδ· διὰ τοῦτο ἐροῦσι· τυφλοὶ καὶ χωλοὶ οὐκ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου.

⁹καὶ ἐκάθισε Δαυὶδ ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ, καὶ ἐκλήθη αὕτη ἡ πόλις Δαυίδ· καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν αὐτὴν πόλιν κύκλῳ ἀπὸ τῆς ἄκρας καὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.

¹⁰καὶ διεπορεύετο Δαυὶδ πορευόμενος καὶ μεγαλυνόμενος, καὶ Κύριος παντοκράτωρ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

¹¹καὶ ἀπέστειλε Χειρὰμ βασιλεὺς Τύρου ἀγγέλους πρὸς Δαυὶδ καὶ ξύλα κέδρινα καὶ τέκτονας ξύλων καί τέκτονας λίθων καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν οἶκον τῷ Δαυίδ.

¹²καὶ ἔγνω Δαυὶδ ὅτι ἡτοίμασεν αὐτὸν Κύριος εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ὅτι ἐπῄρθη ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ διὰ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ.

¹³καὶ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ ἔτι γυναῖκας καὶ παλλακὰς ἐξ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ μετὰ τὸ ἐλθεῖν αὐτὸν ἐκ Χεβρών, καὶ ἐγένοντο τῷ Δαυὶδ ἔτι υἱοὶ καὶ θυγατέρες.

¹⁴καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν γεννηθέντων αὐτῷ ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ· Σαμμοὺς καὶ Σωβὰβ καὶ Νάθαν καὶ Σαλωμὼν

¹⁵καὶ ᾿Εβεὰρ καὶ ᾿Ελισοὺς καὶ Ναφὲκ καὶ ᾿Ιεφιὲς

¹⁶καὶ ᾿Ελισαμὰ καὶ ᾿Ελιδαὲ καὶ ᾿Ελιφαλάθ, Σαμαέ, ᾿Ιεσσιβάθ, Νάθαν, Γαλαμαάν, ᾿Ιεβαάρ, Θεησοῦς, ᾿Ελιφαλάτ, Ναγέδ, Ναφέκ, ᾿Ιανάθαν, Λεασαμύς, Βααλιμάθ, ᾿Ελιφαάθ.

¹⁷Καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ὅτι κέχρισται Δαυὶδ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἀνέβησαν πάντες οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ζητεῖν τὸν Δαυίδ· καὶ ἤκουσε Δαυὶδ καὶ κατέβη εἰς τὴν περιοχήν.

¹⁸καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι παραγίνονται καὶ συνέπεσαν εἰς τὴν κοιλάδα τῶν Τιτάνων

¹⁹καὶ ἠρώτησε Δαυὶδ διὰ Κυρίου λέγων· εἰ ἀναβῶ πρὸς τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ παραδώσεις αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χεῖράς μου; καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Δαυίδ· ἀνάβαινε, ὅτι παραδιδοὺς παραδώσω τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου.

²⁰καὶ ἦλθε Δαυὶδ ἐκ τῶν ἐπάνωδιακοπῶν καὶ ἔκοψε τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους ἐκεῖ, καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· διέκοψε Κύριος τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ἀλλοφύλους ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ, ὡς διακόπτεται ὕδατα· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου, ᾿Επάνω διακοπῶν.

²¹καὶ καταλιμπάνουσιν ἐκεῖ τοὺς θεοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐλάβοσαν αὐτοὺς Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

²²καὶ προσέθεντο ἔτι ἀλλόφυλοι τοῦ ἀναβῆναι καὶ συνέπεσαν ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τῶν Τιτάνων.

²³καὶ ἐπηρώτησε Δαυὶδ διὰ Κυρίου καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· οὐκ ἀναβήσῃ εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῶν, ἀποστρέφου ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν καὶ παρέσῃ αὐτοῖς πλησίον τοῦ Κλαυθμῶνος·

²⁴καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαί σε τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ συγκλεισμοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἄλσους τοῦ Κλαυθμῶνος, τότε καταβήσῃ πρὸς αὐτούς, ὅτι τότε ἐξελεύσεται Κύριος ἔμπροσθέν σου κόπτειν ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων.

²⁵καὶ ἐποίησε Δαυὶδ καθὼς ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ Κύριος, καὶ ἐπάταξε τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους ἀπό Γαβαὼν ἕως τῆς γῆς Γαζηρά. * Lit. Titans. Heb. Rephaim. See Appendix

¹And all the tribes of Israel come to David to Chebron, and they said to him, Behold, we [are] thy bone and thy flesh.

²And heretofore Saul being king over us, thou wast he that didst lead out and bring in Israel: and the Lord said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be for a leader to my people Israel.

³And all the elders of Israel come to the king to Chebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Chebron before the Lord; and they anoint David king over all Israel.

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

⁵Seven years and six months he reigned in Chebron over Juda, and thirty-three years he reigned over all Israel and Juda in Jerusalem.

⁶And David and his men, departed to Jerusalem, to the Jebusite that inhabited the land: and it was said to David, Thou shalt not come in hither: for the blind and the lame withstood him, saying, David shall not come in hither.

⁷And David took first the hold of Sion: this [is] the city of David.

⁸And David said on that day, Every one that smites the Jebusite, let him attack with the dagger both the lame and the blind, and those that hate the soul of David. Therefore they say, The lame and the blind shall not enter into the house of the Lord.

⁹And David dwelt in the hold, and it was called the city of David, and he built the city itself round about from the citadel, and [he built] his own house.

¹⁰And David advanced and became great, and the Lord Almighty [was] with him.

¹¹And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar wood, and carpenters, and stone-masons: and they built a house for David.

¹²And David knew that the Lord had prepared him to be king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted for the sake of his people Israel.

¹³And David took again wives and concubines out of Jerusalem, after he came from Chebron: and David had still more sons and daughters born to him.

¹⁴And these [are] the names of those that were born to him in Jerusalem; Sammus, and Sobab, and Nathan, and Solomon.

¹⁵And Ebear, and Elisue, and Naphec, and Jephies.

¹⁶And Elisama, and Elidae, and Eliphalath, Samae, Jessibath, Nathan, Galamaan, Jebaar, Theesus, Eliphalat, Naged, Naphec, Janathan, Leasamys, Baalimath, Eliphaath.

¹⁷And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over Israel; and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the strong hold.

¹⁸And the Philistines came, and assembled in the valley of the giants.*

¹⁹And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hands? and the Lord said to David, Go up, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into thine hands.

²⁰And David came from Upper Breaches, and smote the Philistines there: and David said, The Lord has destroyed the hostile Philistines before me, as water is dispersed; therefore the name of that place was called Over Breaches.

²¹And they leave there their gods, and David and his men with him took them.

²²And the Philistines came up yet again, and assembled in the valley of Giants.

²³And David enquired of the Lord: and the Lord said, Thou shalt not go up to meet them: turn from them, and thou shalt meet them near the place of weeping.

²⁴And it shall come to pass when thou hearest the sound of a clashing together from the grove of weeping, then thou shalt go down to them, for then the Lord shall go forth before thee to make havoc in the battle with the Philistines.

²⁵And David did as the Lord commanded him, and smote the Philistines from Gabaon as far as the land of Gazera.
