וַיֵּלֶךְ שְׁמוּאֵל הָֽרָמָתָה וְשָׁאוּל עָלָה אֶל-בֵּיתוֹ גִּבְעַת שָׁאֽוּל׃
Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ עַבְדֵֽי-שָׁאוּל אֵלָיו הִנֵּה-נָא רֽוּחַ-אֱלֹהִים רָעָה מְבַֽעִתֶּֽךָ׃
And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
יֹֽאמַר-נָא אֲדֹנֵנוּ עֲבָדֶיךָ לְפָנֶיךָ יְבַקְשׁוּ אִישׁ יֹדֵעַ מְנַגֵּן בַּכִּנּוֹר וְהָיָה בִּֽהְיוֹת עָלֶיךָ רֽוּחַ-אֱלֹהִים רָעָה וְנִגֵּן בְּיָדוֹ וְטוֹב לָֽךְ׃
Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.
וְהָיָה בִּֽהְיוֹת רֽוּחַ-אֱלֹהִים אֶל-שָׁאוּל וְלָקַח דָּוִד אֶת-הַכִּנּוֹר וְנִגֵּן בְּיָדוֹ וְרָוַח לְשָׁאוּל וְטוֹב לוֹ וְסָרָה מֵֽעָלָיו רוּחַ הָֽרָעָֽה׃
And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶֽל-הָאֲנָשִׁים הָעֹֽמְדִים עִמּוֹ לֵאמֹר מַה-יֵּֽעָשֶׂה לָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יַכֶּה אֶת-הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי הַלָּז וְהֵסִיר חֶרְפָּה מֵעַל יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי מִי הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי הֶֽעָרֵל הַזֶּה כִּי חֵרֵף מַֽעַרְכוֹת אֱלֹהִים חַיִּֽים׃
And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
גַּם אֶֽת-הָאֲרִי גַּם-הַדּוֹב הִכָּה עַבְדֶּךָ וְֽהָיָה הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי הֶֽעָרֵל הַזֶּה כְּאַחַד מֵהֶם כִּי חֵרֵף מַֽעַרְכֹת אֱלֹהִים חַיִּֽים׃
Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי אֶל-דָּוִד הֲכֶלֶב אָנֹכִי כִּֽי-אַתָּה בָֽא-אֵלַי בַּמַּקְלוֹת וַיְקַלֵּל הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי אֶת-דָּוִד בֵּֽאלֹהָֽיו׃
And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל-הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי אַתָּה בָּא אֵלַי בְּחֶרֶב וּבַֽחֲנִית וּבְכִידוֹן וְאָֽנֹכִי בָֽא-אֵלֶיךָ בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵי מַֽעַרְכוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר חֵרַֽפְתָּ׃
Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה יְסַגֶּרְךָ יְהוָה בְּיָדִי וְהִכִּיתִךָ וַהֲסִֽרֹתִי אֶת-רֹֽאשְׁךָ מֵֽעָלֶיךָ וְנָתַתִּי פֶּגֶר מַֽחֲנֵה פְלִשְׁתִּים הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה לְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם וּלְחַיַּת הָאָרֶץ וְיֵֽדְעוּ כָּל-הָאָרֶץ כִּי יֵשׁ אֱלֹהִים לְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
וַיְהִי מִֽמָּחֳרָת וַתִּצְלַח רוּחַ אֱלֹהִים׀ רָעָה׀ אֶל-שָׁאוּל וַיִּתְנַבֵּא בְתוֹךְ-הַבַּיִת וְדָוִד מְנַגֵּן בְּיָדוֹ כְּיוֹם׀ בְּיוֹם וְהַֽחֲנִית בְּיַד-שָׁאֽוּל׃
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand.
וַיִּשְׁלַח שָׁאוּל מַלְאָכִים לָקַחַת אֶת-דָּוִד וַיַּרְא אֶֽת-לַהֲקַת הַנְּבִיאִים נִבְּאִים וּשְׁמוּאֵל עֹמֵד נִצָּב עֲלֵיהֶם וַתְּהִי עַֽל-מַלְאֲכֵי שָׁאוּל רוּחַ אֱלֹהִים וַיִּֽתְנַבְּאוּ גַּם-הֵֽמָּה׃
And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
וַיֵּלֶךְ שָׁם אֶל-(נוית) נָיוֹת בָּֽרָמָה וַתְּהִי עָלָיו גַּם-הוּא רוּחַ אֱלֹהִים וַיֵּלֶךְ הָלוֹךְ וַיִּתְנַבֵּא עַד-בֹּאוֹ (בנוית) בְּנָיוֹת בָּֽרָמָֽה׃
And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֽוֹנָתָן אֶל-דָּוִד יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּֽי-אֶחְקֹר אֶת-אָבִי כָּעֵת׀ מָחָר הַשְּׁלִשִׁית וְהִנֵּה-טוֹב אֶל-דָּוִד וְלֹא-אָז אֶשְׁלַח אֵלֶיךָ וְגָלִיתִי אֶת-אָזְנֶֽךָ׃
And Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not unto thee, and shew it thee;
וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד מִשָּׁם מִצְפֵּה מוֹאָב וַיֹּאמֶר׀ אֶל-מֶלֶךְ מוֹאָב יֵֽצֵא-נָא אָבִי וְאִמִּי אִתְּכֶם עַד אֲשֶׁר אֵדַע מַה-יַּֽעֲשֶׂה-לִּי אֱלֹהִֽים׃
And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me.
וַיִּשְׁמַע שָׁאוּל כִּי נוֹדַע דָּוִד וַֽאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ וְשָׁאוּל יוֹשֵׁב בַּגִּבְעָה תַּֽחַת-הָאֶשֶׁל בָּֽרָמָה וַֽחֲנִיתוֹ בְיָדוֹ וְכָל-עֲבָדָיו נִצָּבִים עָלָֽיו׃
When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him;)
וַיֹּאמֶר (אלו) אֵלָיו שָׁאוּל לָמָּה קְשַׁרְתֶּם עָלַי אַתָּה וּבֶן-יִשָׁי בְּתִתְּךָ לוֹ לֶחֶם וְחֶרֶב וְשָׁאוֹל לוֹ בֵּֽאלֹהִים לָקוּם אֵלַי לְאֹרֵב כַּיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
הַיּוֹם הַחִלֹּתִי (לשאול) לִשְׁאָל-לוֹ בֵֽאלֹהִים חָלִילָה לִּי אַל-יָשֵׂם הַמֶּלֶךְ בְּעַבְדּוֹ דָבָר בְּכָל-בֵּית אָבִי כִּי לֹֽא-יָדַע עַבְדְּךָ בְּכָל-זֹאת דָּבָר קָטֹן אוֹ גָדֽוֹל׃
Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father: for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.
וַיֻּגַּד לְשָׁאוּל כִּי-בָא דָוִד קְעִילָה וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל נִכַּר אֹתוֹ אֱלֹהִים בְּיָדִי כִּי נִסְגַּר לָבוֹא בְּעִיר דְּלָתַיִם וּבְרִֽיחַ׃
And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל שָׁמֹעַ שָׁמַע עַבְדְּךָ כִּֽי-מְבַקֵּשׁ שָׁאוּל לָבוֹא אֶל-קְעִילָה לְשַׁחֵת לָעִיר בַּֽעֲבוּרִֽי׃
Then said David, O LORD God of Israel, thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
הֲיַסְגִּרֻנִי בַֽעֲלֵי קְעִילָה בְיָדוֹ הֲיֵרֵד שָׁאוּל כַּֽאֲשֶׁר שָׁמַע עַבְדֶּךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הַגֶּד-נָא לְעַבְדֶּךָ וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה יֵרֵֽד׃
Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O LORD God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the LORD said, He will come down.
וַיֵּשֶׁב דָּוִד בַּמִּדְבָּר בַּמְּצָדוֹת וַיֵּשֶׁב בָּהָר בְּמִדְבַּר-זִיף וַיְבַקְשֵׁהוּ שָׁאוּל כָּל-הַיָּמִים וְלֹֽא-נְתָנוֹ אֱלֹהִים בְּיָדֽוֹ׃
And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.
וַיָּקָם יְהֽוֹנָתָן בֶּן-שָׁאוּל וַיֵּלֶךְ אֶל-דָּוִד חֹרְשָׁה וַיְחַזֵּק אֶת-יָדוֹ בֵּֽאלֹהִֽים׃
And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.
וַיַּֽעֲלוּ זִפִים אֶל-שָׁאוּל הַגִּבְעָתָה לֵאמֹר הֲלוֹא דָוִד מִסְתַּתֵּר עִמָּנוּ בַמְּצָדוֹת בַּחֹרְשָׁה בְּגִבְעַת הַֽחֲכִילָה אֲשֶׁר מִימִין הַיְשִׁימֽוֹן׃
Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in strong holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?
כֹּֽה-יַעֲשֶׂה אֱלֹהִים לְאֹֽיְבֵי דָוִד וְכֹה יֹסִיף אִם-אַשְׁאִיר מִכָּל-אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ עַד-הַבֹּקֶר מַשְׁתִּין בְּקִֽיר׃
So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
וַיָּקָם אָדָם לִרְדָפְךָ וּלְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת-נַפְשֶׁךָ וְֽהָיְתָה נֶפֶשׁ אֲדֹנִי צְרוּרָה׀ בִּצְרוֹר הַֽחַיִּים אֵת יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְאֵת נֶפֶשׁ אֹֽיְבֶיךָ יְקַלְּעֶנָּה בְּתוֹךְ כַּף הַקָּֽלַע׃
Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד לַֽאֲבִיגַל בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחֵךְ הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה לִקְרָאתִֽי׃
And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me:
וְאוּלָם חַי-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר מְנָעַנִי מֵֽהָרַע אֹתָךְ כִּי׀ לוּלֵי מִהַרְתְּ (ותבאתי) וַתָּבֹאת לִקְרָאתִי כִּי אִם-נוֹתַר לְנָבָל עַד-אוֹר הַבֹּקֶר מַשְׁתִּין בְּקִֽיר׃
For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
וַיָּבֹאוּ הַזִּפִים אֶל-שָׁאוּל הַגִּבְעָתָה לֵאמֹר הֲלוֹא דָוִד מִסְתַּתֵּר בְּגִבְעַת הַֽחֲכִילָה עַל פְּנֵי הַיְשִׁימֹֽן׃
And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?
וַיֹּאמֶר אֲבִישַׁי אֶל-דָּוִד סִגַּר אֱלֹהִים הַיּוֹם אֶת-אֽוֹיִבְךָ בְּיָדֶךָ וְעַתָּה אַכֶּנּוּ נָא בַּֽחֲנִית וּבָאָרֶץ פַּעַם אַחַת וְלֹא אֶשְׁנֶה לֽוֹ׃
Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.
וְעַתָּה יִֽשְׁמַֽע-נָא אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ אֵת דִּבְרֵי עַבְדּוֹ אִם-יְהוָה הֱסִֽיתְךָ בִי יָרַח מִנְחָה וְאִם׀ בְּנֵי הָֽאָדָם אֲרוּרִים הֵם לִפְנֵי יְהוָה כִּֽי-גֵרְשׁוּנִי הַיּוֹם מֵֽהִסְתַּפֵּחַ בְּנַֽחֲלַת יְהוָה לֵאמֹר לֵךְ עֲבֹד אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִֽים׃
Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.
וַיֹּאמֶר לָהּ הַמֶּלֶךְ אַל-תִּֽירְאִי כִּי מָה רָאִית וַתֹּאמֶר הָֽאִשָּׁה אֶל-שָׁאוּל אֱלֹהִים רָאִיתִי עֹלִים מִן-הָאָֽרֶץ׃
And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-שָׁאוּל לָמָּה הִרְגַּזְתַּנִי לְהַֽעֲלוֹת אֹתִי וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל צַר-לִי מְאֹד וּפְלִשְׁתִּים׀ נִלְחָמִים בִּי וֵֽאלֹהִים סָר מֵֽעָלַי וְלֹֽא-עָנָנִי עוֹד גַּם בְּיַֽד-הַנְּבִיאִם גַּם-בַּחֲלֹמוֹת וָֽאֶקְרָאֶה לְךָ לְהֽוֹדִיעֵנִי מָה אֶֽעֱשֶֽׂה׃
And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.
וַיַּעַן אָכִישׁ וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל-דָּוִד יָדַעְתִּי כִּי טוֹב אַתָּה בְּעֵינַי כְּמַלְאַךְ אֱלֹהִים אַךְ שָׂרֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים אָֽמְרוּ לֹֽא-יַעֲלֶה עִמָּנוּ בַּמִּלְחָמָֽה׃
And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God: notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.
וַתֵּצֶר לְדָוִד מְאֹד כִּֽי-אָמְרוּ הָעָם לְסָקְלוֹ כִּֽי-מָרָה נֶפֶשׁ כָּל-הָעָם אִישׁ עַל-(בנו) בָּנָיו וְעַל-בְּנֹתָיו וַיִּתְחַזֵּק דָּוִד בַּֽיהוָה אֱלֹהָֽיו׃
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו דָּוִד הֲתֽוֹרִדֵנִי אֶל-הַגְּדוּד הַזֶּה וַיֹּאמֶר הִשָּֽׁבְעָה לִּי בֵֽאלֹהִים אִם-תְּמִיתֵנִי וְאִם-תַּסְגִּרֵנִי בְּיַד-אֲדֹנִי וְאוֹרִֽדְךָ אֶל-הַגְּדוּד הַזֶּֽה׃
And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.
וַיֹּאמֶר יוֹאָב חַי הָֽאֱלֹהִים כִּי לוּלֵא דִּבַּרְתָּ כִּי אָז מֵֽהַבֹּקֶר נַֽעֲלָה הָעָם אִישׁ מֵאַֽחֲרֵי אָחִֽיו׃
And Joab said, As God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
כֹּֽה-יַעֲשֶׂה אֱלֹהִים לְאַבְנֵר וְכֹה יֹסִיף לוֹ כִּי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע יְהוָה לְדָוִד כִּי-כֵן אֶֽעֱשֶׂה-לּֽוֹ׃
So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the LORD hath sworn to David, even so I do to him;
וַיָּבֹא כָל-הָעָם לְהַבְרוֹת אֶת-דָּוִד לֶחֶם בְּעוֹד הַיּוֹם וַיִּשָּׁבַע דָּוִד לֵאמֹר כֹּה יַֽעֲשֶׂה-לִּי אֱלֹהִים וְכֹה יֹסִיף כִּי אִם-לִפְנֵי בֽוֹא-הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ אֶטְעַם-לֶחֶם אוֹ כָל-מְאֽוּמָה׃
And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat while it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be down.
וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד הָלוֹךְ וְגָדוֹל וַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי צְבָאוֹת עִמּֽוֹ׃
And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him.
וַיָּקָם׀ וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד וְכָל-הָעָם אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ מִֽבַּעֲלֵי יְהוּדָה לְהַֽעֲלוֹת מִשָּׁם אֵת אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר-נִקְרָא שֵׁם שֵׁם יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת יֹשֵׁב הַכְּרֻבִים עָלָֽיו׃
And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims.
וַיַּרְכִּבוּ אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֶל-עֲגָלָה חֲדָשָׁה וַיִּשָּׂאֻהוּ מִבֵּית אֲבִֽינָדָב אֲשֶׁר בַּגִּבְעָה וְעֻזָּא וְאַחְיוֹ בְּנֵי אֲבִינָדָב נֹֽהֲגִים אֶת-הָֽעֲגָלָה חֲדָשָֽׁה׃
And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.
וַיִּשָּׂאֻהוּ מִבֵּית אֲבִֽינָדָב אֲשֶׁר בַּגִּבְעָה עִם אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים וְאַחְיוֹ הֹלֵךְ לִפְנֵי הָֽאָרֽוֹן׃
And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.
וַיָּבֹאוּ עַד-גֹּרֶן נָכוֹן וַיִּשְׁלַח עֻזָּה אֶל-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיֹּאחֶז בּוֹ כִּי שָֽׁמְטוּ הַבָּקָֽר׃
And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.
וַיִּֽחַר-אַף יְהוָה בְּעֻזָּה וַיַּכֵּהוּ שָׁם הָֽאֱלֹהִים עַל-הַשַּׁל וַיָּמָת שָׁם עִם אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
וַיֻּגַּד לַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד לֵאמֹר בֵּרַךְ יְהוָה אֶת-בֵּית עֹבֵד אֱדֹם וְאֶת-כָּל-אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ בַּֽעֲבוּר אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד וַיַּעַל אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים מִבֵּית עֹבֵד אֱדֹם עִיר דָּוִד בְּשִׂמְחָֽה׃
And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל-נָתָן הַנָּבִיא רְאֵה נָא אָֽנֹכִי יוֹשֵׁב בְּבֵית אֲרָזִים וַֽאֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים יֹשֵׁב בְּתוֹךְ הַיְרִיעָֽה׃
That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
עַל-כֵּן גָּדַלְתָּ יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים כִּֽי-אֵין כָּמוֹךָ וְאֵין אֱלֹהִים זֽוּלָתֶךָ בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר-שָׁמַעְנוּ בְּאָזְנֵֽינוּ׃
Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
וּמִי כְעַמְּךָ כְּיִשְׂרָאֵל גּוֹי אֶחָד בָּאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר הָלְכֽוּ-אֱלֹהִים לִפְדּֽוֹת-לוֹ לְעָם וְלָשׂוּם לוֹ שֵׁם וְלַֽעֲשׂוֹת לָכֶם הַגְּדוּלָּה וְנֹֽרָאוֹת לְאַרְצֶךָ מִפְּנֵי עַמְּךָ אֲשֶׁר פָּדִיתָ לְּךָ מִמִּצְרַיִם גּוֹיִם וֵֽאלֹהָֽיו׃
And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
וַתְּכוֹנֵֽן לְךָ אֶת-עַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל׀ לְךָ לְעָם עַד-עוֹלָם וְאַתָּה יְהוָה הָיִיתָ לָהֶם לֵֽאלֹהִֽים׃
For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God.
וְעַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתָּ עַֽל-עַבְדְּךָ וְעַל-בֵּיתוֹ הָקֵם עַד-עוֹלָם וַֽעֲשֵׂה כַּֽאֲשֶׁר דִּבַּֽרְתָּ׃
And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.
וְיִגְדַּל שִׁמְךָ עַד-עוֹלָם לֵאמֹר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהִים עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וּבֵית עַבְדְּךָ דָוִד יִֽהְיֶה נָכוֹן לְפָנֶֽיךָ׃
And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
כִּֽי-אַתָּה יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל גָּלִיתָה אֶת-אֹזֶן עַבְדְּךָ לֵאמֹר בַּיִת אֶבְנֶה-לָּךְ עַל-כֵּן מָצָא עַבְדְּךָ אֶת-לִבּוֹ לְהִתְפַּלֵּל אֵלֶיךָ אֶת-הַתְּפִלָּה הַזֹּֽאת׃
For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.
וְעַתָּה׀ אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה אַתָּה-הוּא הָֽאֱלֹהִים וּדְבָרֶיךָ יִֽהְיוּ אֱמֶת וַתְּדַבֵּר אֶֽל-עַבְדְּךָ אֶת-הַטּוֹבָה הַזֹּֽאת׃
And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ הַאֶפֶס עוֹד אִישׁ לְבֵית שָׁאוּל וְאֶֽעֱשֶׂה עִמּוֹ חֶסֶד אֱלֹהִים וַיֹּאמֶר צִיבָא אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ עוֹד בֵּן לִיהֽוֹנָתָן נְכֵה רַגְלָֽיִם׃
And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
חֲזַק וְנִתְחַזַּק בְּעַד-עַמֵּנוּ וּבְעַד עָרֵי אֱלֹהֵינוּ וַֽיהוָה יַֽעֲשֶׂה הַטּוֹב בְּעֵינָֽיו׃
Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.
וַיֹּאמֶר נָתָן אֶל-דָּוִד אַתָּה הָאִישׁ כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אָֽנֹכִי מְשַׁחְתִּיךָֽ לְמֶלֶךְ עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָֽנֹכִי הִצַּלְתִּיךָ מִיַּד שָׁאֽוּל׃
And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
וַיְבַקֵּשׁ דָּוִד אֶת-הָֽאֱלֹהִים בְּעַד הַנָּעַר וַיָּצָם דָּוִד צוֹם וּבָא וְלָן וְשָׁכַב אָֽרְצָה׃
David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
וַתֹּאמֶר יִזְכָּר-נָא הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ (מהרבית) מֵהַרְבַּת גֹּאֵל הַדָּם לְשַׁחֵת וְלֹא יַשְׁמִידוּ אֶת-בְּנִי וַיֹּאמֶר חַי-יְהוָה אִם-יִפֹּל מִשַּֽׂעֲרַת בְּנֵךְ אָֽרְצָה׃
Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the LORD thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.
וַתֹּאמֶר הָֽאִשָּׁה וְלָמָּה חָשַׁבְתָּה כָּזֹאת עַל-עַם אֱלֹהִים וּמִדַּבֵּר הַמֶּלֶךְ הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה כְּאָשֵׁם לְבִלְתִּי הָשִׁיב הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶֽת-נִדְּחֽוֹ׃
And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished.
כִּי-מוֹת נָמוּת וְכַמַּיִם הַנִּגָּרִים אַרְצָה אֲשֶׁר לֹא יֵֽאָסֵפוּ וְלֹֽא-יִשָּׂא אֱלֹהִים נֶפֶשׁ וְחָשַׁב מַֽחֲשָׁבוֹת לְבִלְתִּי יִדַּח מִמֶּנּוּ נִדָּֽח׃
For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.
כִּי יִשְׁמַע הַמֶּלֶךְ לְהַצִּיל אֶת-אֲמָתוֹ מִכַּף הָאִישׁ לְהַשְׁמִיד אֹתִי וְאֶת-בְּנִי יַחַד מִֽנַּחֲלַת אֱלֹהִֽים׃
For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.
וַתֹּאמֶר שִׁפְחָתְךָ יִֽהְיֶה-נָּא דְּבַר-אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ לִמְנֻחָה כִּי׀ כְּמַלְאַךְ הָֽאֱלֹהִים כֵּן אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ לִשְׁמֹעַ הַטּוֹב וְהָרָע וַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ יְהִי עִמָּֽךְ׃
Then thine handmaid said, The word of my lord the king shall now be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: therefore the LORD thy God will be with thee.
לְבַֽעֲבוּר סַבֵּב אֶת-פְּנֵי הַדָּבָר עָשָׂה עַבְדְּךָ יוֹאָב אֶת-הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה וַֽאדֹנִי חָכָם כְּחָכְמַת מַלְאַךְ הָֽאֱלֹהִים לָדַעַת אֶֽת-כָּל-אֲשֶׁר בָּאָֽרֶץ׃
To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.
וְהִנֵּה גַם-צָדוֹק וְכָֽל-הַלְוִיִּם אִתּוֹ נֹֽשְׂאִים אֶת-אֲרוֹן בְּרִית הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיַּצִּקוּ אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיַּעַל אֶבְיָתָר עַד-תֹּם כָּל-הָעָם לַֽעֲבוֹר מִן-הָעִֽיר׃
And lo Zadok also, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the city.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ לְצָדוֹק הָשֵׁב אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים הָעִיר אִם-אֶמְצָא חֵן בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וֶֽהֱשִׁבַנִי וְהִרְאַנִי אֹתוֹ וְאֶת-נָוֵֽהוּ׃
And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me again, and shew me both it, and his habitation:
וַיָּשֶׁב צָדוֹק וְאֶבְיָתָר אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים יְרֽוּשָׁלִָם וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ שָֽׁם׃
Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they tarried there.
וַיְהִי דָוִד בָּא עַד-הָרֹאשׁ אֲשֶֽׁר-יִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה שָׁם לֵֽאלֹהִים וְהִנֵּה לִקְרָאתוֹ חוּשַׁי הָֽאַרְכִּי קָרוּעַ כֻּתָּנְתּוֹ וַֽאֲדָמָה עַל-רֹאשֽׁוֹ׃
And it came to pass, that when David was come to the top of the mount, where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head:
וַֽעֲצַת אֲחִיתֹפֶל אֲשֶׁר יָעַץ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם כַּֽאֲשֶׁר יִשְׁאַל-אִישׁ בִּדְבַר הָֽאֱלֹהִים כֵּן כָּל-עֲצַת אֲחִיתֹפֶל גַּם-לְדָוִד גַּם לְאַבְשָׁלֹֽם׃
And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
וַיִּקְרָא אֲחִימַעַץ וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ שָׁלוֹם וַיִּשְׁתַּחוּ לַמֶּלֶךְ לְאַפָּיו אָרְצָה וַיֹּאמֶר בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר סִגַּר אֶת-הָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר-נָֽשְׂאוּ אֶת-יָדָם בַּֽאדֹנִי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed be the LORD thy God, which hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king.
וְלַֽעֲמָשָׂא תֹּֽמְרוּ הֲלוֹא עַצְמִי וּבְשָׂרִי אָתָּה כֹּה יַֽעֲשֶׂה-לִּי אֱלֹהִים וְכֹה יוֹסִיף אִם-לֹא שַׂר-צָבָא תִּֽהְיֶה לְפָנַי כָּל-הַיָּמִים תַּחַת יוֹאָֽב׃
And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.
וַיְרַגֵּל בְּעַבְדְּךָ אֶל-אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ וַֽאדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ כְּמַלְאַךְ הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַֽעֲשֵׂה הַטּוֹב בְּעֵינֶֽיךָ׃
And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God: do therefore what is good in thine eyes.
(ינתן) יֻתַּן-לָנוּ שִׁבְעָה אֲנָשִׁים מִבָּנָיו וְהוֹקַֽעֲנוּם לַֽיהוָה בְּגִבְעַת שָׁאוּל בְּחִיר יְהוָה וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲנִי אֶתֵּֽן׃
Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang up them unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD did choose. And the king said, I will give them.
וַיִּקְבְּרוּ אֶת-עַצְמוֹת-שָׁאוּל וִיהוֹנָֽתָן-בְּנוֹ בְּאֶרֶץ בִּנְיָמִן בְּצֵלָע בְּקֶבֶר קִישׁ אָבִיו וַֽיַּעֲשׂוּ כֹּל אֲשֶׁר-צִוָּה הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֵּֽעָתֵר אֱלֹהִים לָאָרֶץ אַֽחֲרֵי-כֵֽן׃
And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was intreated for the land.
אֱלֹהֵי צוּרִי אֶֽחֱסֶה-בּוֹ מָֽגִנִּי וְקֶרֶן יִשְׁעִי מִשְׂגַּבִּי וּמְנוּסִי מֹֽשִׁעִי מֵֽחָמָס תֹּֽשִׁעֵֽנִי׃
The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
בַּצַּר-לִי אֶקְרָא יְהוָה וְאֶל-אֱלֹהַי אֶקְרָא וַיִּשְׁמַע מֵהֵֽיכָלוֹ קוֹלִי וְשַׁוְעָתִי בְּאָזְנָֽיו׃
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
כִּי שָׁמַרְתִּי דַּרְכֵי יְהוָה וְלֹא רָשַׁעְתִּי מֵֽאֱלֹהָֽי׃
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
כִּי בְכָה אָרוּץ גְּדוּד בֵּֽאלֹהַי אֲדַלֶּג-שֽׁוּר׃
For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
כִּי מִי-אֵל מִבַּלְעֲדֵי יְהוָה וּמִי צוּר מִֽבַּלְעֲדֵי אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃
For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
חַי-יְהוָה וּבָרוּךְ צוּרִי וְיָרֻם אֱלֹהֵי צוּר יִשְׁעִֽי׃
The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
וְאֵלֶּה דִּבְרֵי דָוִד הָאַֽחֲרֹנִים נְאֻם דָּוִד בֶּן-יִשַׁי וּנְאֻם הַגֶּבֶר הֻקַם עָל מְשִׁיחַ אֱלֹהֵי יַֽעֲקֹב וּנְעִים זְמִרוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,
אָמַר אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לִי דִבֶּר צוּר יִשְׂרָאֵל מוֹשֵׁל בָּֽאָדָם צַדִּיק מוֹשֵׁל יִרְאַת אֱלֹהִֽים׃
The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.
חֵלֶב בֶּֽן-בַּעֲנָה הַנְּטֹֽפָתִי אִתַּי בֶּן-רִיבַי מִגִּבְעַת בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִֽן׃
Heleb the son of Baanah, a Netophathite, Ittai the son of Ribai out of Gibeah of the children of Benjamin,
וַיֹּאמֶר יוֹאָב אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ וְיוֹסֵף יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֶל-הָעָם כָּהֵם׀ וְכָהֵם מֵאָה פְעָמִים וְעֵינֵי אֲדֹנִֽי-הַמֶּלֶךְ רֹאוֹת וַֽאדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ לָמָּה חָפֵץ בַּדָּבָר הַזֶּֽה׃
And Joab said unto the king, Now the LORD thy God add unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?
הַכֹּל נָתַן אֲרַוְנָה הַמֶּלֶךְ לַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲרַוְנָה אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ יִרְצֶֽךָ׃
All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל-אֲרַוְנָה לֹא כִּֽי-קָנוֹ אֶקְנֶה מֵאֽוֹתְךָ בִּמְחִיר וְלֹא אַֽעֲלֶה לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהַי עֹלוֹת חִנָּם וַיִּקֶן דָּוִד אֶת-הַגֹּרֶן וְאֶת-הַבָּקָר בְּכֶסֶף שְׁקָלִים חֲמִשִּֽׁים׃
And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
וַתֹּאמֶר לוֹ אֲדֹנִי אַתָּה נִשְׁבַּעְתָּ בַּֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לַֽאֲמָתֶךָ כִּֽי-שְׁלֹמֹה בְנֵךְ יִמְלֹךְ אַֽחֲרָי וְהוּא יֵשֵׁב עַל-כִּסְאִֽי׃
And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the LORD thy God unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.
כִּי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי לָךְ בַּֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר כִּֽי-שְׁלֹמֹה בְנֵךְ יִמְלֹךְ אַֽחֲרַי וְהוּא יֵשֵׁב עַל-כִּסְאִי תַּחְתָּי כִּי כֵּן אֶֽעֱשֶׂה הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.
וַיַּעַן בְּנָיָהוּ בֶן-יְהֽוֹיָדָע אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר׀ אָמֵן כֵּן יֹאמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too.
וְגַם-בָּאוּ עַבְדֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ לְבָרֵךְ אֶת-אֲדֹנֵינוּ הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד לֵאמֹר יֵיטֵב (אלהיך) אֱלֹהִים אֶת-שֵׁם שְׁלֹמֹה מִשְּׁמֶךָ וִֽיגַדֵּל אֶת-כִּסְאוֹ מִכִּסְאֶךָ וַיִּשְׁתַּחוּ הַמֶּלֶךְ עַל-הַמִּשְׁכָּֽב׃
And moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king bowed himself upon the bed.
וְגַם-כָּכָה אָמַר הַמֶּלֶךְ בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר נָתַן הַיּוֹם יֹשֵׁב עַל-כִּסְאִי וְעֵינַי רֹאֽוֹת׃
And also thus said the king, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it.
וְשָֽׁמַרְתָּ אֶת-מִשְׁמֶרֶת׀ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לָלֶכֶת בִּדְרָכָיו לִשְׁמֹר חֻקֹּתָיו מִצְוֹתָיו וּמִשְׁפָּטָיו וְעֵֽדְוֹתָיו כַּכָּתוּב בְּתוֹרַת מֹשֶׁה לְמַעַן תַּשְׂכִּיל אֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר תַּֽעֲשֶׂה וְאֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר תִּפְנֶה שָֽׁם׃
And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:
וַיִּשָּׁבַע הַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה בַּֽיהוָה לֵאמֹר כֹּה יַֽעֲשֶׂה-לִּי אֱלֹהִים וְכֹה יוֹסִיף כִּי בְנַפְשׁוֹ דִּבֶּר אֲדֹנִיָּהוּ אֶת-הַדָּבָר הַזֶּֽה׃
Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.
בְּגִבְעוֹן נִרְאָה יְהוָֹה אֶל-שְׁלֹמֹה בַּֽחֲלוֹם הַלָּיְלָה וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים שְׁאַל מָה אֶתֶּן-לָֽךְ׃
In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
וְעַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי אַתָּה הִמְלַכְתָּ אֶֽת-עַבְדְּךָ תַּחַת דָּוִד אָבִי וְאָֽנֹכִי נַעַר קָטֹן לֹא אֵדַע צֵאת וָבֹֽא׃
And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֵלָיו יַעַן אֲשֶׁר שָׁאַלְתָּ אֶת-הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה וְלֹֽא-שָׁאַלְתָּ לְּךָ יָמִים רַבִּים וְלֹֽא-שָׁאַלְתָּ לְּךָ עֹשֶׁר וְלֹא שָׁאַלְתָּ נֶפֶשׁ אֹֽיְבֶיךָ וְשָׁאַלְתָּ לְּךָ הָבִין לִשְׁמֹעַ מִשְׁפָּֽט׃
And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;
וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ כָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-הַמִּשְׁפָּט אֲשֶׁר שָׁפַט הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיִּֽרְאוּ מִפְּנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּי רָאוּ כִּֽי-חָכְמַת אֱלֹהִים בְּקִרְבּוֹ לַֽעֲשׂוֹת מִשְׁפָּֽט׃
And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment.
וַיִּתֵּן אֱלֹהִים חָכְמָה לִשְׁלֹמֹה וּתְבוּנָה הַרְבֵּה מְאֹד וְרֹחַב לֵב כַּחוֹל אֲשֶׁר עַל-שְׂפַת הַיָּֽם׃
And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.
אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ אֶת-דָּוִד אָבִי כִּי לֹא יָכֹל לִבְנוֹת בַּיִת לְשֵׁם יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו מִפְּנֵי הַמִּלְחָמָה אֲשֶׁר סְבָבֻהוּ עַד תֵּת-יְהוָה אֹתָם תַּחַת כַּפּוֹת (רגלו) רַגְלָֽי
Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.
וְעַתָּה הֵנִיחַ יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי לִי מִסָּבִיב אֵין שָׂטָן וְאֵין פֶּגַע רָֽע׃
But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent.
וְהִנְנִי אֹמֵר לִבְנוֹת בַּיִת לְשֵׁם יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר׀ דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֶל-דָּוִד אָבִי לֵאמֹר בִּנְךָ אֲשֶׁר אֶתֵּן תַּחְתֶּיךָ עַל-כִּסְאֶךָ הֽוּא-יִבְנֶה הַבַּיִת לִשְׁמִֽי׃
And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name.
