And, when all the men of Israel that were in the vale saw, that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then forsook they their cities, and fled, and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

And, when all Jabesh-Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

And, when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek to secure David, - and David, hearing, went out against them.

Then David asked of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Yahweh said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into thy hand.

and it shall be, when thou hearest a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, then, shalt thou go forth into the battle, - for God will have gone forth before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.

And the name of David went forth, throughout all the lands, - and, Yahweh, put the dread of him upon all the nations.

So David convoked all Israel, unto Jerusalem, - to bring up the ark of Yahweh, unto the place thereof, which he had prepared for it.

Now, David, was wrapped about with a robe of byssus, with all the Levites who were bearing the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the leader of the service rendered by the singers, - but, upon David, was an ephod of white linen.

So, all Israel, were bringing up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, with shouting, and with sound of the horn, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, - sounding aloud, with harps, and lyres.

Sing ye to him, Make music unto him, Speak ye of all his wonders.

Search out Yahweh, and his power, Seek diligently his face, at all times.

Yahweh himself, is our God, through all the land, are his just decisions.

Saying, To thee, will I give the land of Canaan, as your inherited portion:

While, as yet, ye were men who could be counted, a very few, and sojourners therein:

Sing to Yahweh, all the earth, Tell the tidings, from day to day, of his salvation:

Recount, among the nations, his glory, among all the peoples, his wonders.

For great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, and to be revered is he above all gods;

For, all the gods of the peoples, are things of nought, but, Yahweh, made, the heavens.

Tremble at his presence, all the earth, But the world, shall be established, it shall not be shaken.

Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof, Let the field leap for joy, and all that is therein:

Blessed be Yahweh, God of Israel, from one age even to another age. Then said all the people, Amen, And gave praise to Yahweh.

to offer ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, upon the altar of ascending-sacrifice, - continually, morning and evening, - even according to all that is written in the law of Yahweh, which he commanded concerning Israel;

And all the people departed, every man to his house, - and David went round, to bless his own household.

Then said Nathan unto David, All that is in thy heart, do, - for, God, is with thee.

Wheresoever I have wandered with all Israel, spake I ever, a word, with one of the judges of Israel, whom I charged to shepherd my people, saying, - Wherefore have ye not built me a house of cedars?

and was with thee whithersoever thou didst go, and have out off all thine enemies, from before thee, - and will make thee a name, like the name of the great ones, who are in the earth;

and will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall inhabit their place, and be unsettled no more, - neither shall the sons of perversity again wear them out, as at the first;

even from the days when I put judges in charge over my people Israel, and have subdued all thine enemies, - that I might make thee great, yea, a house, will Yahweh build for thee.

And it shall be that, when thy days are fulfilled, to sleep with thy fathers, then will I raise up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons, - and I will establish his kingdom.

He, shall build me a house, - and I will establish his throne unto times age-abiding.

I, will become his father, and, he, shall become my son, - and, my lovingkindness, will I not cause to depart from him, - as I caused it to depart from him who was before thee;

but I will cause him to remain over my house and over my kingdom, unto times age-abiding, - and, his throne, shall be established, unto times age-abiding.

and hast made this seem little in thine eyes, O God, in that thou hast spoken concerning the house of thy servant, for a great while to come? Thus wilt thou provide for me, according to the rank of manhood, and hast exalted me, O Yahweh God!

O Yahweh, for the sake of thy servant, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this great thing, - making known all the great things.

O Yahweh, there is none like unto thee, yea there is no God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

And David captured from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, - and David destroyed all the chariots, saving that he reserved from them a hundred chariots.

And, when Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had smitten all the force of Hadarezer king of Zobah,

he sent Hadoram his son unto King David, to ask after his welfare, and to bless him, because he had made war against Hadarezer and had smitten him, for, a man making wars against Tou, had been Hadarezer, - and he had with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and bronze;

them also, did King David hallow unto Yahweh, with the silver and the gold, that he bare away from all the nations, - from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

and set, in Edom, garrisons, and all Edom became servants unto David, - and Yahweh gave David the victory, whithersoever he went.

So David reigned over all Israel, - and he was executing justice and righteousness for all his people;

Then said David - I will show lovingkindness unto Hanun, son of Nahash, - for his father shewed unto me lovingkindness. So David sent messengers to console him concerning his father, - and the servants of David came into the land of the sons of Ammon unto Hanun, to console him.

Now, when David heard, he sent Joab and all the army of heroes.

So, when Joab saw that the battle confronted him, before and behind, - he chose out of all the choice in Israel, and set in array to meet the Syrians;

And he said - If, too strong for me, be the Syrians, then shalt thou come to my help, - but, if, the sons of Ammon, be too strong for thee, then will I help thee.

Then did Joab, and all the people who were with him, draw near before the Syrians unto the battle, - and they fled from before him.

And it was told David, and he gathered together all Israel, and crossed the Jordan, and came unto them, and set in array against them, - and, when David had set in array against the Syrians for battle, they fought with him.
