SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 وارسل حيرام ملك صور رسلا الى داود وخشب ارز وبنائين ونجارين ليبنوا له بيتا.	1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
2 وعلم داود ان الرب قد اثبته ملكا على اسرائيل لان مملكته ارتفعت متصاعدة من اجل شعبه اسرائيل	2 And David perceived that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted over his people Israel.
3 واخذ داود نساء ايضا في اورشليم وولد ايضا داود بنين وبنات	3 And David took other wives in Jerusalem: and he beget sons, and daughters.
4 وهذه اسماء الاولاد الذين كانوا له في اورشليم. شمّوع وشوباب وناثان وسليمان	4 Now these are the names of them that were born to him in Jerusalem: Samua, and Sobad, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 ويبحار واليشوع والفالط	5 Jebahar, and Elisua, and Eliphalet,
6 ونوجه ونافج ويافيع	6 And Noga, and Napheg, and Japhia,
7 واليشمع وبعلياداع واليفلط	7 Elisama. and Baaliada, and Eliphalet.
8 وسمع الفلسطينيون ان داود قد مسح ملكا على كل اسرائيل فصعد كل الفلسطينيين ليفتشوا على داود. ولما سمع داود خرج لاستقبالهم.	8 And the Philistines hearing that David was anointed king over all Israel, went all up to seek him: and David heard of it, and went out against them.
9 فجاء الفلسطينيون وانتشروا في وادي الرفائيين.	9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the vale of Raphaim.
10 فسأل داود من الله قائلا أأصعد على الفلسطينيين فتدفعهم ليدي. فقال له الرب اصعد فادفعهم ليدك.	10 And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him: Go up, and I will deliver them into thy hand.
11 فصعدوا الى بعل فراصيم وضربهم داود هناك. وقال داود قد اقتحم الله اعدائي بيدي كاقتحام المياه. لذلك دعوا اسم ذلك الموضع بعل فراصيم.	11 And when they were come to Baalpharasim, David defeated them there, and he said: God hath divided my enemies by my hand, as waters are divided: and therefore the name of that place was called Baalpharasim.
12 وتركوا هناك آلهتهم فامر داود فأحرقت بالنار.	12 And they left there their gods, and David commanded that they should be burnt.
13 ثم عاد الفلسطينيون ايضا وانتشروا في الوادي.	13 Another time also the Philistines made an irruption, and spread themselves abroad in the valley.
14 فسأل ايضا داود من الله فقال له الله لا تصعد وراءهم تحوّل عنهم وهلم عليهم مقابل اشجار البكا.	14 And David consulted God again, and God said to him: Go not up after them, turn away from them, and come upon them over against the pear trees.
15 وعندما تسمع صوت خطوات في رؤوس اشجار البكا فاخرج حينئذ للحرب لان الله يخرج امامك لضرب محلّة الفلسطينيين.	15 And when thou shalt hear the sound of one going in the tops of the pear trees, then shalt thou go out to battle. For God is gone out before thee to strike the army of the Philistines.
16 ففعل داود كما امره الله وضربوا محلّة الفلسطينيين من جبعون الى جازر	16 And David did as God had commanded him, and defeated the army of the Philistines, slaying them from Gabaon to Gazera.
17 وخرج اسم داود الى جميع الاراضي وجعل الرب هيبته على جميع الامم	17 And the name of David became famous in all countries, and the Lord made all nations fear him.
