1 Todas las tribus de Israel fueron a David en Hebrón y le dijeron: Nosotros somos de tu misma carne y sangre.
1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and spoke, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
2 Aun cuando Saúl era nuestro rey, tú dirigías a Israel cuando salía a la guerra y regresaba. El Señor te dijo: Tú serás pastor de mi pueblo Israel y serás su gobernante.
2 In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led Israel out and in. Yahweh said to you, ‘You will be shepherd of my people Israel, and you will be prince over Israel.’”
3 Entonces todos los ancianos de Israel fueron a ver al rey en Hebrón. El rey David hizo un pacto con ellos delante del Señor, y ellos ungieron a David como rey sobre Israel.
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh; and they anointed David king over Israel.
4 David tenía treinta años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó durante cuarenta años.
4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
5 Reinó sobre Judá en Hebrón durante siete años y seis meses, y en Jerusalén reinó sobre todo Israel y Judá durante treinta y tres años.
5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
6 El rey y sus hombres fueron a Jerusalén para luchar contra los jebuseos que vivían allí. Los jebuseos dijeron a David: No entrarás aquí. Hasta los ciegos y los cojos podrán mantenerte fuera. Pensaban que David no podría entrar.
6 The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, “The blind and the lame will keep you out of here,” thinking, “David can’t come in here.”
7 Pero David conquistó la fortaleza de Sión, que llegó a ser la Ciudad de David.
7 Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. This is David’s city.
8 Aquel día David dijo: Quien ataque a los jebuseos, que suba por el conducto de agua y ataque a esos ciegos y cojos que David detesta. Por eso se dice: Los ciegos y los cojos no entrarán en la casa.
8 David said on that day, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him go up to the watercourse and strike those lame and blind, who are hated by David’s soul.” Therefore they say, “The blind and the lame can’t come into the house.”
9 David se estableció en la fortaleza y la llamó Ciudad de David. Construyó alrededor de ella, comenzando desde el Milo y hacia adentro.
9 David lived in the stronghold, and called it David’s city. David built around from Millo and inward.
10 David se hacía cada vez más poderoso, porque el Señor, Dios de los ejércitos, estaba con él.
10 David grew greater and greater, for Yahweh, the God of Armies, was with him.
11 Hiram, rey de Tiro, envió mensajeros a David con madera de cedro, carpinteros y canteros. Ellos construyeron una casa para David.
11 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, with cedar trees, carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.
12 David comprendió que el Señor había afirmado su reino sobre Israel y que había engrandecido su reino por amor a su pueblo Israel.
12 David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.
13 Después de venir de Hebrón, David tomó más concubinas y esposas en Jerusalén, y tuvo más hijos e hijas.
13 David took more concubines and wives for himself out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and more sons and daughters were born to David.
14 Estos son los nombres de los hijos que le nacieron en Jerusalén: Samúa, Sobab, Natán y Salomón;
14 These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15 Ibhar, Elisúa, Nefeg y Jafía;
15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,

17 Cuando los filisteos supieron que David había sido ungido como rey sobre Israel, todos salieron a buscarlo. David se enteró y bajó a la fortaleza.
17 When the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David, but David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.
18 Los filisteos llegaron y se extendieron por todo el valle de Refaim.
18 Now the Philistines had come and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
19 David consultó al Señor: ¿Debo atacar a los filisteos? ¿Los entregarás en mis manos? El Señor respondió: Sube, porque ciertamente entregaré a los filisteos en tus manos.
19 David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” Yahweh said to David, “Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
20 David fue a Baal-perazim y allí los derrotó. Dijo: El Señor ha abierto una brecha contra mis enemigos delante de mí, como una inundación abre una brecha. Por eso aquel lugar fue llamado Baal-perazim.
20 David came to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there. Then he said, “Yahweh has broken my enemies before me, like the breach of waters.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
21 Los filisteos abandonaron allí sus ídolos, y David y sus hombres se los llevaron.
21 They left their images there, and David and his men took them away.
22 Los filisteos volvieron a subir y otra vez se extendieron por el valle de Refaim.
22 The Philistines came up yet again and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
23 David volvió a consultar al Señor. Él respondió: No los ataques de frente. Rodéalos por detrás y acércate a ellos frente a los árboles de bálsamo.
23 When David inquired of Yahweh, he said, “You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them in front of the mulberry trees.
24 Cuando oigas un sonido como de pasos marchando sobre las copas de los árboles de bálsamo, avanza rápidamente, porque el Señor habrá salido delante de ti para derrotar al ejército filisteo.
24 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then stir yourself up; for then Yahweh has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”
25 David hizo lo que el Señor le ordenó y derrotó a los filisteos desde Gabaón hasta cerca de Gezer.
25 David did so, as Yahweh commanded him, and struck the Philistines all the way from Geba to Gezer.
