CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DIODATI
1 Also, Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, and cedar wood, and artisans of walls and of wood, so that they might build a house for him.	1 OR Hiram, re di Tiro, mandò a Davide ambasciatori, e legname di cedro, e muratori, e legnaiuoli, per edificargli una casa.
2 And David realized that the Lord had confirmed him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom had been lifted up over his people Israel.	2 E Davide riconobbe che il Signore l’avea stabilito re sopra Israele; perciocchè il suo regno era grandemente innalzato, per amor d’Israele, suo popolo.
3 Also, David took other wives in Jerusalem. And he conceived sons and daughters.	3 E Davide prese ancora delle mogli in Gerusalemme, e generò ancora figliuoli e figliuole.
4 And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon,	4 E questi sono i nomi de’ figliuoli che gli nacquero in Gerusalemme: Sammua, e Sobab, e Natan, e Salomone,
5 Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,	5 ed Ibhar, ed Elisua, ed Elpelet,
6 as well as Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,	6 e Noga, e Nefeg, e Iafia,
7 Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.	7 ed Elisama, e Beelsada, ed Elifelet
8 Then, hearing that David had been anointed as king over all of Israel, all the Philistines ascended so that they might seek him. But when David had heard of it, he went out to meet them.	8 Ora, quando i Filistei ebbero inteso che Davide era stato unto re sopra tutto Israele, salirono tutti, per cercar Davide. E Davide, avendo ciò inteso, uscì loro incontro.
9 Now the Philistines, arriving, spread out in the Valley of the Rephaim.	9 Ed i Filistei vennero, e si sparsero per la valle de’ Rafei.
10 And so David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I ascend to the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my hand?” And the Lord said to him, “Ascend, and I will deliver them into your hand.”	10 Allora Davide domandò Iddio, dicendo: Salirò io contro a’ Filistei? e me li darai tu nelle mani? E il Signore gli disse: Sali, ed io te li darò nelle mani.
11 And when they had ascended to Baal-perazim, David struck them there, and he said: “God has divided my enemies by my hand, just as waters are divided.” And therefore the name of that place was called Baal-perazim.	11 Essi adunque salirono in Baal-perasim, e Davide li percosse quivi, e disse: Iddio ha rotti per mia mano i miei nemici; a guisa d’una inondazione d’acqua; perciò quel luogo fu chiamato Baal-perasim.
12 And they left behind their gods in that place, and so David ordered them to be burned.	12 Ed i Filistei lasciarono quivi i lor dii; e per comandamento di Davide, furono bruciati col fuoco.
13 And then, at another time, the Philistines invaded, and they spread out in the valley.	13 Or i Filistei si sparsero un’altra volta per quella valle.
14 And again, David consulted God. And God said to him: “You shall not ascend after them. Draw away from them. And you shall come against them opposite the balsam trees.	14 E Davide domandò di nuovo Iddio. E Iddio gli disse: Non salir dietro a loro; rivolgiti d’incontro a loro, e va’ sopra loro dirincontro a’ gelsi.
15 And when you hear a sound approaching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall go forth to war. For God has gone forth before you, so that he may strike down the army of the Philistines.”	15 E quando tu udirai un calpestio sopra le cime de’ gelsi, allora esci fuori in battaglia; perciocchè Iddio sarà uscito davanti a te, per percuotere il campo dei Filistei.
16 Therefore, David did just as God had instructed him. And he struck down the army of the Philistines, from Gibeon as far as Gazera.	16 E Davide fece come Iddio gli avea comandato; e il campo de’ Filstei fu percosso da Gabaon fino a Ghezer.
17 And the name of David became well-known in all the regions. And the Lord placed the fear of him over all the nations.	17 E la fama di Davide si sparse per tutti i paesi; e il Signore mise spavento di lui in tutte le genti
