1 Hiram, roi de Tyr, envoya une ambassade à David, avec du bois de cèdre, des maçons et descharpentiers, pour lui construire une maison.	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 Alors David sut que Yahvé l'avait confirmé comme roi d'Israël et que sa royauté étaithautement exaltée à cause d'Israël son peuple.	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 A Jérusalem, David prit encore des femmes et il engendra encore des fils et des filles.	3 Also, David took other wives in Jerusalem. And he conceived sons and daughters.
4 Voici les noms des enfants qui lui naquirent à Jérusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Natân,Salomon,	4 And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon,
5 Yibhar, Elishua, Elpalèt,	5 Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,

8 Lorsque les Philistins eurent appris qu'on avait oint David comme roi de tout Israël, ilsmontèrent tous pour s'emparer de lui. A cette nouvelle, David partit au-devant d'eux.	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 Les Philistins arrivèrent et se déployèrent dans le val des Rephaïm.	9 Now the Philistines, arriving, spread out in the Valley of the Rephaim.
10 Alors David consulta Dieu: "Dois-je attaquer les Philistins? Demanda-t-il, et les livreras-tuentre mes mains?" Yahvé lui répondit: "Attaque! et je les livrerai entre tes mains."	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 Ils montèrent à Baal-Peraçim, et là, David les battit. Et David dit: "Par ma main Dieu aouvert une brèche dans mes ennemis comme une brèche faite par les eaux." C'est pourquoi on appela cet endroitBaal-Peraçim.	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 Ils avaient abandonné sur place leurs dieux: "Qu'ils brûlent au feu!" dit David.	12 And they left behind their gods in that place, and so David ordered them to be burned.
13 Les Philistins recommencèrent à se déployer dans le val.	13 And then, at another time, the Philistines invaded, and they spread out in the valley.
14 David consulta de nouveau Dieu et Dieu lui répondit: "Ne les attaque pas. Va derrière eux, àquelque distance, tourne-les, et aborde-les vis-à-vis des micocouliers.	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 Et quand tu entendras un bruit de pas à la cime des micocouliers, alors tu engageras lecombat: c'est que Dieu sort devant toi pour battre l'armée philistine."	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 fit comme Dieu lui avait ordonné: il défit l'armée philistine depuis Gabaôn jusqu'àGézer.	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 La renommée de David s'étendit dans toutes les régions et Yahvé le fit redouter de toutes lesnations.	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.
