14  Na ka tonoa etahi karere e Hirama kingi o Taira ki a Rawiri, me etahi rakau, he hita, me nga kaimahi kohatu, me nga kaimahi rakau, hei hanga whare mona.

Na ka mohio a Rawiri kua whakapumautia ia e Ihowa hei kingi mo Iharaira; kua whakanuia hoki tona rangatiratanga, he whakaaro ki tana iwi, ki a Iharaira.

Na ka tangohia ano e Rawiri he wahine mana ki Hiruharama; a ka whanau ano etahi atu tama, etahi atu tamahine ma Rawiri.

A ko nga ingoa enei o ana i whanau ki Hiruharama; ko Hamua, ko Hopapa, ko Natana, ko Horomona;

Ko Ipihara, ko Erihua, ko Ereparete;

Ko Noka, ko Nepeke, ko Iapia;

Ko Erihama, ko Peeriara, ko Eriparete.

A, no te rongonga o nga Pirihitini kua oti a Rawiri te whakawahi hei kingi mo Iharaira katoa, ka haere nga Pirihitini katoa ki te rapu i a Rawiri. A ka rongo a Rawiri, a ka puta ia ki te tu i a ratou.

Na, tera nga Pirihitini kua haere mai, a kua takahi i te raorao o Repaima.

10 Na ka ui a Rawiri ki te Atua, ka mea, Me haere ranei ahau ki nga Pirihitini? E homai ranei ratou e koe ki toku ringa? Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Haere; ka hoatu hoki ratou e ahau ki tou ringa.

11 Heoi kua tae mai ratou ki Paaraperatimi; patua iho ratou i reira e Rawiri. Na ka mea a Rawiri, Pakaru ana i te Atua oku hoariri, he mea na toku ringa; koia ano kei te pakaruhanga wai. Na reira i huaina ai te ingoa o taua wahi ko Paaraperatimi.

12 A mahue ana i a ratou o ratou atua ki reira; na ka whakahau a Rawiri, a tahuna ana ki te ahi.

13 Na ka takahia ano e nga Pirihitini te raorao.

14 A ka ui ano a Rawiri ki te Atua, a ka mea te Atua ki a ia, Kaua e haere ki te wahi i a ratou: me tahuri i a ratou, ka awhio haere ki a ratou, ka whakaeke i a ratou i te ritenga o nga maperi.

15 A, ka rangona e koe te tapuwae haruru i runga i nga maperi, ko reira koe puta ai ki te whawhai; no te mea kua riro te Atua ki mua i a koe ki te patu i te ope o nga Pirihitini.

16 Na peratia ana e Rawiri me ta te Atua i whakahau ai ki a ia; a patua iho e ratou te ope o nga Pirihitini i Kipeono, a tae noa ki Katere.

17 Na kua paku te ingoa o Rawiri ki nga whenua katoa; a ka mea a Ihowa i te wehi ki a ia kia pa ki nga iwi katoa.

David’s House and Family(A)

14 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, along with cedar logs,(B) stonemasons and carpenters to build a palace for him. And David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel and that his kingdom had been highly exalted(C) for the sake of his people Israel.

In Jerusalem David took more wives and became the father of more sons(D) and daughters. These are the names of the children born to him there:(E) Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, Elishama, Beeliada[a] and Eliphelet.

David Defeats the Philistines(F)

When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel,(G) they went up in full force to search for him, but David heard about it and went out to meet them. Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley(H) of Rephaim; 10 so David inquired of God: “Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hands?”

The Lord answered him, “Go, I will deliver them into your hands.”

11 So David and his men went up to Baal Perazim,(I) and there he defeated them. He said, “As waters break out, God has broken out against my enemies by my hand.” So that place was called Baal Perazim.[b] 12 The Philistines had abandoned their gods there, and David gave orders to burn(J) them in the fire.(K)

13 Once more the Philistines raided the valley;(L) 14 so David inquired of God again, and God answered him, “Do not go directly after them, but circle around them and attack them in front of the poplar trees. 15 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, move out to battle, because that will mean God has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army.” 16 So David did as God commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army, all the way from Gibeon(M) to Gezer.(N)

17 So David’s fame(O) spread throughout every land, and the Lord made all the nations fear(P) him.
