GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Και ηλθον πασαι αι φυλαι του Ισραηλ προς τον Δαβιδ εις Χεβρων και ειπον, λεγοντες, Ιδου, οστουν σου και σαρξ σου ειμεθα ημεις?	1 And all the tribes of Israel went to David in Hebron, saying: “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
2 και προτερον ετι, οτε ο Σαουλ εβασιλευεν εφ' ημας, συ ησο ο εξαγων και εισαγων τον Ισραηλ? και προς σε ειπεν ο Κυριος, Συ θελεις ποιμανει τον λαον μου τον Ισραηλ, και συ θελεις εισθαι ηγεμων επι τον Ισραηλ.	2 Moreover, yesterday and the day before, when Saul was king over us, you were the one leading out and leading back Israel. Then the Lord said to you, ‘You shall pasture my people Israel, and you shall be the leader over Israel.’ ”
3 Και ηλθον παντες οι πρεσβυτεροι του Ισραηλ προς τον βασιλεα εις Χεβρων? και εκαμεν ο βασιλευς Δαβιδ συνθηκην μετ' αυτων εις Χεβρων ενωπιον του Κυριου? και εχρισαν τον Δαβιδ βασιλεα επι τον Ισραηλ.	3 Also, the elders of Israel went to the king at Hebron, and king David struck a pact with them at Hebron in the sight of the Lord. And they anointed David as king over Israel.
4 Τριακοντα ετων ητο ο Δαβιδ οτε εγεινε βασιλευς, και εβασιλευσε τεσσαρακοντα ετη?	4 David was a son of thirty years, when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for forty years.
5 εν μεν Χεβρων εβασιλευσεν επι τον Ιουδαν επτα ετη και εξ μηνας? εν δε Ιερουσαλημ εβασιλευσε τριακοντα τρια ετη επι παντα τον Ισραηλ και Ιουδαν.	5 In Hebron, he reigned over Judah for seven years and six months. Then in Jerusalem, he reigned for thirty-three years over all of Israel and Judah.
6 Και υπηγεν ο βασιλευς και οι ανδρες αυτου εις Ιερουσαλημ, προς τους Ιεβουσαιους, τους κατοικουντας την γην? οιτινες ελαλησαν προς τον Δαβιδ, λεγοντες, Δεν θελεις εισελθει ενταυθα, εαν δεν εκβαλης τους τυφλους και χωλους? λεγοντες οτι ο Δαβιδ δεν ηθελε δυνηθη να εισελθη εκει.	6 And the king, and all the men who were with him, went away to Jerusalem, to the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land. And it was said to David by them, “You shall not enter here, unless you will take away the blind and the lame, who say, ‘David shall not enter here.’ ”
7 Ο Δαβιδ ομως εκυριευσε το φρουριον Σιων? αυτη ειναι η πολις Δαβιδ.	7 But David seized the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.
8 Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ την ημεραν εκεινην, Οστις φθαση εις τον οχετον και παταξη τους Ιεβουσαιους, και τους χωλους και τους τυφλους, τους μισουμενους υπο της ψυχης του Δαβιδ, θελει εισθαι αρχηγος. Δια τουτο λεγουσι, Τυφλος και χωλος δεν θελουσιν εισελθει εις τον οικον.	8 For David had proposed, on that day, a reward to him who had struck the Jebusites and who had reached to the gutters of the rooftops, and who had taken away the blind and the lame that hated the soul of David. Therefore, it is said in the proverb, “The blind and the lame shall not enter into the temple.”
9 Και κατωκησεν ο Δαβιδ εν τινι φρουριω και ωνομασεν αυτο, Η πολις Δαβιδ. Και εκαμεν ο Δαβιδ οικοδομας κυκλω απο Μιλλω και εσω.	9 Then David lived in the stronghold, and he called it: the City of David. And he built it up on all sides, from Millo and inward.
10 Και προεχωρει ο Δαβιδ και εμεγαλυνετο, και Κυριος ο Θεος των δυναμεων ητο μετ' αυτου.	10 And he advanced, prospering and increasing, and the Lord, the God of hosts, was with him.
11 Και απεστειλεν ο Χειραμ, βασιλευς της Τυρου, πρεσβεις προς τον Δαβιδ, και ξυλα κεδρινα και ξυλουργους και κτιστας, και ωκοδομησαν οικον εις τον Δαβιδ.	11 Also, Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, with cedar wood, and with builders of wood and builders of stone, in order to make walls. And they built a house for David.
12 Και εγνωρισεν ο Δαβιδ, οτι ο Κυριος κατεστησεν αυτον βασιλεα επι τον Ισραηλ, και οτι υψωσε την βασιλειαν αυτου δια τον λαον αυτου Ισραηλ.	12 And David knew that the Lord had confirmed him as king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom over his people Israel.
13 Και ελαβε προσετι ο Δαβιδ παλλακας και γυναικας εκ της Ιερουσαλημ, αφου ηλθεν εκ Χεβρων? και εγεννηθησαν ετι εις τον Δαβιδ υιοι και θυγατερες.	13 Then David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, after he had arrived from Hebron. And other sons as well as daughters were born to David.
14 ταυτα δε ειναι τα ονοματα των εις αυτον γεννηθεντων εν Ιερουσαλημ? Σαμμουα και Σωβαβ και Ναθαν και Σολομων,	14 And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
15 και Ιεβαρ και Ελισουα και Νεφεγ και Ιαφια,	15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg,
16 και Ελισαμα και Ελιαδα και Ελιφαλετ.	16 and Japhia, and Elishama, and Eliada, and Elipheleth.
17 Οτε δε ηκουσαν οι Φιλισταιοι οτι εχρισαν τον Δαβιδ βασιλεα επι τον Ισραηλ, ανεβησαν παντες οι Φιλισταιοι να ζητησωσι τον Δαβιδ? και ο Δαβιδ ηκουσε περι τουτου και κατεβη εις το φρουριον.	17 Then the Philistines heard that they had anointed David as king over Israel. And they all ascended, so that they might seek David. And when David had heard of it, he descended to a stronghold.
18 Και ηλθον οι Φιλισταιοι και διεχυθησαν εις την κοιλαδα Ραφαειμ.	18 Now the Philistines, arriving, spread themselves out in the Valley of Rephaim.
19 Και ερωτησεν ο Δαβιδ τον Κυριον, λεγων, Να αναβω προς τους Φιλισταιους; θελεις παραδωσει αυτους εις την χειρα μου; Και ειπεν ο Κυριος προς τον Δαβιδ, Αναβα? διοτι βεβαιως θελω παραδωσει τους Φιλισταιους εις την χειρα σου.	19 And David consulted the Lord, saying: “Shall I ascend to the Philistines? And will you give them into my hand?” And the Lord said to David: “Ascend. For I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand.”
20 Και ηλθεν ο Δαβιδ εις Βααλ-φερασειμ, και εκει επαταξεν αυτους ο Δαβιδ και ειπεν, Ο Κυριος διεκοψε τους εχθρους μου εμπροσθεν μου, καθως διακοπτονται τα υδατα. Δια τουτο εκαλεσθη το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου Βααλ-φερασειμ.	20 Therefore, David went to Baal-perazim. And he struck them there. And he said, “The Lord has divided my enemies before me, just as the waters are divided.” Because of this, the name of that place was called Baal-perazim.
21 Και εκει κατελιπον τα ειδωλα αυτων, και εσηκωσαν αυτα ο Δαβιδ και οι ανδρες αυτου.	21 And in that place they left behind their graven images, which David and his men took away.
22 Και ανεβησαν παλιν οι Φιλισταιοι και διεχυθησαν εις την κοιλαδα Ραφαειμ.	22 And the Philistines continued still, so that they ascended and spread themselves out in the Valley of Rephaim.
23 Και οτε ηρωτησεν ο Δαβιδ τον Κυριον, ειπε, Μη αναβης? στρεψον οπισω αυτων και επιπεσον επ' αυτους απεναντι των συκαμινων.	23 Then David consulted the Lord, “Shall I ascend against the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my hands?” And he responded: “You shall not ascend against them; instead, circle behind their back. And you shall come to them from the side opposite the balsam trees.
24 και οταν ακουσης θορυβον διαβασεως επι των κορυφων των συκαμινων, τοτε θελεις σπευσει διοτι τοτε ο Κυριος θελει εξελθει εμπροσθεν σου, δια να παταξη το στρατοπεδον των Φιλισταιων.	24 And when you hear the sound of something going forth from the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall begin the battle. For then the Lord will go forth, before your face, so that he may strike the army of the Philistines.”
25 Και εκαμεν ο Δαβιδ, καθως προσεταξεν εις αυτον ο Κυριος? και επαταξε τους Φιλισταιους απο Γαβαα εως της εισοδου Γεζερ.	25 And so, David did just as the Lord had instructed him. And he struck down the Philistines, from Gibeon until you arrive at Gezer.
