BIBBIA TINTORI	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Hiram re di Tiro mandò a David ambasciatori, e legnami di cedro, muratori e legnaioli per fabbricargli una casa.	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.
2 E David riconobbe che il Signore lo aveva confermato re sopra Israele, e che il suo regno era stato elevato sopra Israele suo popolo.	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.
3 Davide prese altre mogli in Gerusalemme, e generò figli e fi­glie.	3 Also, David took other wives in Jerusalem. And he conceived sons and daughters.
4 Ecco i nomi di quelli che gli nacquero in Gerusalemme: Samua, Sobad, Natan, Salomone,	4 And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon,
5 Iebahar, Elisua, Elifalet,	5 Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
6 Noga, Nafeg, lafia,	6 as well as Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7 Elisasela, Baaliada, Elialfet.	7 Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 I Filistei, com'ebbero udito che David era stato unto re sopra tutto Israele, saliron tutti per cercarlo. David, saputo que­sto, uscì loro incontro.	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.
9 I Filistei vennero e si sparsero per la valle dei Rafaim.	9 Now the Philistines, arriving, spread out in the Valley of the Rephaim.
10 David consultò il Signore, dicendo: « Devo salire contro i Filistei? Li darai nelle mie mani? » Il Signore rispose: « Sali e li darò nelle tue mani ».	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.”
11 Essi eran saliti a Baalfarasim, ove David li percosse e disse: « Il Signore ha per la mia mano dispersi i miei nemici, come si disperdono le acque ». Perciò quel luogo fu chiamato Baalfarasim.	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.
12 I Filistei vi lasciarono i loro dèi, che, per ordine di David, furono dati alle fiamme.	12 And they left behind their gods in that place, and so David ordered them to be burned.
13 Anche un'altra volta i Filistei vennero a spargersi per quel­la valle.	13 And then, at another time, the Philistines invaded, and they spread out in the valley.
14 David consultò di nuovo il Signore, e Dio gli disse: « Non li assalire di dietro, ma ritirati da loro per andar contro di essi dirimpetto ai peri.	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.
15 E quando sentirai il rumore di uno che cammini sulle cime dei peri, uscirai alla battaglia, perchè Dio è uscito dinanzi a te per colpire il campo dei Filistei».	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.”
16 David, avendo fatto come Dio gli aveva comandato, percosse il campo dei Filistei da Gabaon sino a Gazerà.	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.
17 E la fama di David si sparse per tutti i paesi, e il Si­gnore mise il timore di lui sopra tutte le genti.	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.
