又向東延到伯拉河這邊的曠野、因爲他們在基列地牲畜增多。

and he lived eastward even to the entrance of the wilderness from the river Euphrates, because their livestock were multiplied in the land of Gilead.

掃羅年間他們與夏甲人爭戰、夏甲人倒在他們手下、他們就在基列東邊的全地、住在夏甲人的帳棚裏。

They made war with the Hagrites, with Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab.

They were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and he answered them, because they put their trust in him.

他們擄掠了夏甲人的牲畜、有駱駝五萬、羊二十五萬、驢二千．又有人十萬。

They took away their livestock; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred fifty thousand, and of donkeys two thousand, and of men one hundred thousand.

敵人被殺仆倒的甚多、因爲這爭戰是出乎神．他們就住在敵人的地上、直到被擄的時候。

For many fell slain, because the war was of God. They lived in their place until the captivity.

瑪拿西半支派的人住在那地．從巴珊延到巴力黑們、示尼珥、與黑門山。

The children of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land: they increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon, Senir, and Mount Hermon.

他們的族長是以弗、以示、以列、亞斯列、耶利米、何達威雅、雅疊．都是大能的勇士、是有名的人、也是作族長的。

These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: even Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valor, famous men, heads of their fathers’ houses.

他們得罪了他們列祖的神、隨從那地之民的神行邪淫．這民就是神在他們面前所除滅的。

They trespassed against the God of their fathers, and played the prostitute after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God destroyed before them.

故此、以色列的神激動亞述王普勒、和亞述王提革拉毘尼色的心、他們就把流便人、迦得人、瑪拿西半支派的人、擄到哈臘、哈博、哈拉與歌散河邊、直到今日還在那裏。

So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and to the river of Gozan, to this day.

非利士人與以色列人爭戰、以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑、在基利波山有被殺仆倒的。

Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.

非利士人緊追掃羅和他兒子們、就殺了掃羅的兒子約拿單、亞比拿達、麥基舒亞。

The Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.

勢派甚大、掃羅被弓箭手追上、射傷甚重．

The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was distressed by reason of the archers.

就吩咐拿他兵器的人說、你拔出刀來、將我刺死、免得那些未受割禮的人來凌辱我．但拿兵器的人甚懼怕、不肯刺他。

Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer would not; for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell on it.

掃羅就自己伏在刀上死了、拿兵器的人見掃羅已死、也伏在刀上死了。

When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword, and died.

這樣、掃羅和他三個兒子、並他的全家都一同死亡。

So Saul died with his three sons; and all his house died together.

住平原的以色列衆人、見以色列軍兵逃跑、掃羅和他兒子都死了、也就棄城逃跑、非利士人便來住在其中。

When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.

次日、非利士人來剝那被殺之人的衣服、看見掃羅和他兒子仆倒在基利波山、

On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

就剝了他的軍裝、割下他的首級、打發人到非利士地的四境〈到或作送到〉報信與他們的偶像、和衆民．

They stripped him, and took his head and his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to their idols, and to the people.

又將掃羅的軍裝放在他們神的廟裏、將他的首級釘在大袞廟中。

They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.

基列雅比人聽見非利士人向掃羅所行的一切事、

When all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

他們中間所有的勇士就起身前去、將掃羅和他兒子的屍身送到雅比、將他們的屍骨葬在雅比的橡樹下、就禁食七日。

all the valiant men arose, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

這樣、掃羅死了因爲他干犯耶和華、沒有遵守耶和華的命．又因他求問交鬼的婦人、

So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against Yahweh, because of Yahweh’s word, which he didn’t keep; and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire,

沒有求問耶和華、所以耶和華使他被殺、把國歸於耶西的兒子大衞。

and didn’t inquire of Yahweh. Therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.

第11章

以色列衆人聚集到希伯崙見大衞、說、我們原是你的骨肉。

Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

從前掃羅作王的時候、率領以色列人出入的是你．耶和華你的神也曾應許你說、你必牧養我的民以色列、作以色列的君。

In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. Yahweh your God said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.’”

於是以色列的長老、都來到希伯崙見大衞王．大衞在希伯崙耶和華面前與他們立約．他們就膏大衞作以色列的王、是照耶和華藉撒母耳所說的話。

So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to Yahweh’s word by Samuel.

大衞和以色列衆人到了耶路撒冷、就是耶布斯．那時耶布斯人住在那裏。

David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (also called Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.

耶布斯人對大衞說、你決不能進這地方。然而大衞攻取錫安的保障、就是大衞的城。

The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here.” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. The same is David’s city.

大衞說、誰先攻打耶布斯人、必作首領元帥。洗魯雅的兒子約押先上去、就作了元帥。

David said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.

大衞住在保障裏．所以那保障叫作大衞城。

David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it David’s city.

大衞又從米羅起、四圍建築城牆、其餘的是約押修理。

He built the city all around, from Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

大衞日見強盛、因爲萬軍之耶和華與他同在。

David grew greater and greater; for Yahweh of Armies was with him.

以下記錄跟隨大衞勇士的首領、就是奮勇幫助他得國、照着耶和華吩咐以色列人的話、與以色列人一同立他作王的。

Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to Yahweh’s word concerning Israel.

大衞勇士的數目記在下面．哈革摩尼的兒子雅朔班、他是軍長的統領、一時舉槍殺了三百人。

This is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them at one time.

其次是亞合人、朶多的兒子以利亞撒、他是三個勇士裏的一個。

After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.

他從前與大衞在巴斯達閔、非利士人聚集要打仗．那裏有一塊長滿大麥的田、衆民就在非利士人面前逃跑。

He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where there was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.

這勇士便站在那田間、擊殺非利士人、救護了那田．耶和華使以色列人大獲全勝。

They stood in the middle of the plot, defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Yahweh saved them by a great victory.

三十個勇士中的三個人下到磐石那裏、進了亞杜蘭洞見大衞．非利士的軍隊在利乏音谷安營。

Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

那時大衞在山寨、非利士人的防營在伯利恆。

David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was in Bethlehem at that time.

大衞渴想、說、甚願有人將伯利恆城門旁、井裏的水打來給我喝。

David longed, and said, “Oh that one would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”

這三個勇士就闖過非利士人的營盤、從伯利恆城門旁的井裏打水、拿來奉給大衞．他卻不肯喝、將水奠在耶和華面前、

The three broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; but David would not drink any of it, but poured it out to Yahweh,

說、我的神阿、這三個人冒死去打水．這水好像他們的血一般、我斷不敢喝。如此、大衞不肯喝。這是三個勇士所作的事。

and said, “My God forbid me, that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?” For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.

約押的兄弟、亞比篩、是這三個勇士的首領．他舉槍殺了三百人、就在三個勇士裏得了名。

Abishai, the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three; for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.

他在這三個勇士裏是最尊貴的、所以作他們的首領．只是不及前三個勇士。

Of the three, he was more honorable than the two, and was made their captain; however he wasn’t included in the three.

有甲薛勇士耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅、行過大能的事、他殺了摩押人亞利伊勒的兩個兒子．又在下雪的時候下坑裏去殺了一個獅子．

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit on a snowy day.

又殺了一個埃及人、埃及人身高五肘、手裏拿着槍、槍桿粗如織布的機軸．比拿雅只拿着棍子下去、從埃及人手裏奪過槍來、用那槍將他刺死。

He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high. In the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.

這是耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅所行的事、就在三個勇士裏得了名。

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the three mighty men.

他比那三十個勇士都尊貴、只是不及前三個勇士．大衞立他作護衞長。

Behold, he was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three; and David set him over his guard.

軍中的勇士、有約押的兄弟亞撒黑、伯利恆人朶多的兒子伊勒哈難、

第12章

大衞因怕基士的兒子掃羅、躱在洗革拉的時候、有勇士到他那裏幫助他打仗。

Now these are those who came to David to Ziklag, while he was a fugitive from Saul the son of Kish. They were among the mighty men, his helpers in war.

他們善於拉弓、能用左右兩手甩石射箭．都是便雅憫人掃羅的族弟兄。

They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in slinging stones and in shooting arrows from the bow. They were of Saul’s relatives of the tribe of Benjamin.

爲首的是亞希以謝．其次是約阿施、都是基比亞人示瑪的兒子．還有亞斯瑪威的兒子耶薛、和毘力．又有比拉迦、並亞拿突人耶戶、

The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu the Anathothite;

基遍人以實買雅、他在三十人中是勇士管理他們、且有耶利米、雅哈悉、約哈難、和基得拉人約撒拔、

Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty and a leader of the thirty; Jeremiah; Jahaziel; Johanan; Jozabad the Gederathite;

伊利烏賽、耶利摩、比亞利雅、示瑪利雅、哈律弗人示法提雅、

Eluzai; Jerimoth; Bealiah; Shemariah; Shephatiah the Haruphite;

可拉人以利加拿、耶西亞、亞薩列、約以謝、雅朔班、

Elkanah, Isshiah Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites;

基多人耶羅罕的兒子猶拉、和西巴第雅。

and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.

迦得支派中、有人到曠野的山寨投奔大衞、都是大能的勇士、能拿盾牌和槍的戰士．他們的面貌好像獅子、快跑如同山上的鹿．

Some Gadites joined David in the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for war, who could handle shield and spear; whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the gazelles on the mountains:

第一以薛、第二俄巴底雅、第三以利押、

Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

第四彌施瑪拿、第五耶利米、

Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

第六亞太、第七以利業、

Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

第八約哈難、第九以利薩巴、

Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

第十耶利米、第十一末巴奈。

Jeremiah the tenth, and Machbannai the eleventh.

這都是迦得人中的軍長．至小的能抵一百人、至大的能抵一千人。

These of the sons of Gad were captains of the army: he who was least was equal to one hundred, and the greatest to one thousand.

正月、約但河水漲過兩岸的時候、他們過河、使一切住平原的人、東奔西逃。

These are those who went over the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all who lived in the valleys, both toward the east and toward the west.

又有便雅憫和猶大人到山寨大衞那裏。

Some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David.

大衞出去迎接他們、對他們說、你們若是和和平平的來幫助我、我心就與你們相契．你們若是將我這無罪的人賣在敵人手裏、願我們列祖的神察看責罰。

David went out to meet them, and answered them, “If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers see this and rebuke it.”

那時神的靈感動那三十個勇士的首領亞瑪撒、他就說、大衞阿、我們是歸於你的、耶西的兒子阿、我們是幫助你的．願你平平安安、願幫助你的、也都平安．因爲你的神幫助你。大衞就收留他們、立他們作軍長。

Then the Spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the thirty, and he said, “We are yours, David, and on your side, you son of Jesse. Peace, peace be to you, and peace be to your helpers; for your God helps you.” Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.

大衞從前與非利士人同去、要與掃羅爭戰．有些瑪拿西人來投奔大衞、他們卻沒有幫助非利士人．因爲非利士人的首領、商議打發他們回去、說、恐怕大衞拿我們的首級、歸降他的主人掃羅。

Some of Manasseh also joined David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle; but they didn’t help them; for the lords of the Philistines sent him away after consultation, saying, “He will desert to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.”

大衞往洗革拉去的時候、有瑪拿西人的千夫長押拿、約撒拔、耶疊、米迦勒、約撒拔、以利戶、洗勒太都來投奔他。

As he went to Ziklag, some from Manasseh joined him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of thousands who were of Manasseh.

這些人幫助大衞攻擊羣賊．他們都是大能的勇士、且作軍長。

They helped David against the band of rovers; for they were all mighty men of valor, and were captains in the army.

那時、天天有人來幫助大衞、以致成了大軍、如神的軍一樣。

For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like God’s army.

豫備打仗的兵來到希伯崙見大衞、要照着耶和華的話、將掃羅的國位歸與大衞、他們的數目如下．

These are the numbers of the heads of those who were armed for war, who came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to Yahweh’s word.

猶大支派、拿盾牌和槍豫備打仗的、有六千八百人。

The children of Judah who bore shield and spear were six thousand eight hundred, armed for war.

西緬支派、能上陣大能的勇士、有七千一百人。

Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valor for the war, seven thousand one hundred.

利未支派有四千六百人。

Of the children of Levi four thousand six hundred.

耶何耶大是亞倫家的首領．跟從他的有三千七百人．

Jehoiada was the leader of the household of Aaron; and with him were three thousand seven hundred,

還有少年大能的勇士撒督．同着他的有族長二十二人。

and Zadok, a young man mighty of valor, and of his father’s house twenty-two captains.

便雅憫支派、掃羅的族弟兄、也有三千人、他們向來大半歸順掃羅家。

Of the children of Benjamin, Saul’s relatives, three thousand: for until then, the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance to Saul’s house.

以法蓮支派、大能的勇士、在本族著名的有二萬零八百人。

Of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous men in their fathers’ houses.

瑪拿西半支派、冊上有名的共一萬八千人、都來立大衞作王。

Of the half-tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, who were mentioned by name, to come and make David king.

以薩迦支派、有二百族長、都通達時務、知道以色列人所當行的、他們族弟兄都聽從他們的命令。

Of the children of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their heads were two hundred; and all their brothers were at their command.

西布倫支派、能上陣、用各樣兵器打仗、行伍整齊、不生二心的、有五萬人。

Of Zebulun, such as were able to go out in the army, who could set the battle in array, with all kinds of instruments of war, fifty thousand, and who could command and were not of double heart.

拿弗他利支派、有一千軍長、跟從他們拿盾牌和槍的、有三萬七千人。

Of Naphtali one thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty-seven thousand.

但支派、能擺陣的有二萬八千六百人。

Of the Danites who could set the battle in array, twenty-eight thousand six hundred.

亞設支派、能上陣打仗的有四萬人。

Of Asher, such as were able to go out in the army, who could set the battle in array, forty thousand.

約但河東的流便支派、迦得支派、瑪拿西半支派、拿着各樣兵器打仗的有十二萬人。

On the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites, the Gadites, and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, with all kinds of instruments of war for the battle, one hundred twenty thousand.

以上都是能守行伍的戰士、他們都誠心來到希伯崙、要立大衞作以色列的王．以色列其餘的人也都一心要立大衞作王。

All these were men of war, who could order the battle array, and came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.

他們在那裏三日、與大衞一同喫喝．因爲他們的族弟兄給他們豫備了。

They were there with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brothers had supplied provisions for them.

靠近他們的人、以及以薩迦、西布倫、拿弗他利人、將許多麵餅、無花果餅、乾葡萄、酒、油、用驢、駱駝、騾子、牛、馱來、又帶了許多的牛和羊來．因爲以色列人甚是歡樂。

Moreover those who were near to them, as far as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, brought bread on donkeys, on camels, on mules, and on oxen: supplies of flour, cakes of figs, clusters of raisins, wine, oil, cattle, and sheep in abundance; for there was joy in Israel.

第13章

大衞與千夫長、百夫長、就是一切首領商議。

David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.

大衞對以色列全會衆說、你們若以爲美、見這事是出於耶和華我們的神、我們就差遣人走遍以色列地、見我們未來的弟兄、又見住在有郊野之城的祭司利未人、使他們都到這裏來聚集．

David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is of Yahweh our God, let us send word everywhere to our brothers who are left in all the land of Israel, with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have suburbs, that they may gather themselves to us.

我們要把神的約櫃運到我們這裏來．因爲在掃羅年間、我們沒有在約櫃前求問神。

Also, let us again bring the ark of our God back to us; for we didn’t seek it in the days of Saul.”

全會衆都說、可以如此行．這事在衆民眼中、都看爲好。

All the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

於是大衞將以色列人、從埃及的西曷河、直到哈馬口、都招聚了來、要從基列耶琳將神的約櫃運來。

So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor the brook of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring God’s ark from Kiriath Jearim.

大衞率領以色列衆人、上到巴拉、就是屬猶大的基列耶琳、要從那裏將約櫃運來．這約櫃就是坐在二基路伯上、耶和華神留名的約櫃。

David went up with all Israel to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there God Yahweh’s ark that sits above the cherubim, that is called by the Name.

他們將神的約櫃、從亞比拿達的家裏抬出來、放在新車上．烏撒和亞希約趕車。

They carried God’s ark on a new cart, and brought it out of Abinadab’s house; and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.

大衞和以色列衆人、在神前用琴、瑟、鑼鼓、號、作樂、極力跳舞歌唱。

David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with cymbals, and with trumpets.

到了基頓的禾塲、〈基頓撒母耳下六章六節作拿艮〉因爲牛失前蹄、〈或作驚跳〉烏撒就伸手扶住約櫃。

When they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

耶和華向他發怒、因他伸手扶住約櫃擊殺他、他就死在神面前。

Yahweh’s anger burned against Uzza, and he struck him, because he put his hand on the ark; and he died there before God.

大衞因耶和華擊殺〈原文作闖殺〉烏撒、心裏愁煩、就稱那地方爲毘列斯烏撒、直到今日。

David was displeased, because Yahweh had broken out against Uzza. He called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.

那日大衞懼怕神、說、神的約櫃、怎可運到我這裏來。

David was afraid of God that day, saying, “How can I bring God’s ark home to me?”

於是大衞不將約櫃運進大衞的城、卻運到迦特人俄別以東的家中。

So David didn’t move the ark with him into David’s city, but carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.

神的約櫃在俄別以東家中三個月．耶和華賜福給俄別以東的家和他一切所有的。

God’s ark remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months; and Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom’s house and all that he had.

第14章

推羅王希蘭將香柏木運到大衞那裏、又差遣使者、和石匠、木匠給大衞建造宮殿。

Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.

大衞就知道耶和華堅立他作以色列王、又爲自己的民以色列、使他的國興旺。

David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel’s sake.

大衞在耶路撒冷又立后妃、又生兒女。

David took more wives at Jerusalem, and David became the father of more sons and daughters.

在耶路撒冷所生的衆子、是沙母亞、朔罷、拿單、所羅門、

These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

益轄、以利書亞、以法列、

Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,

挪迦、尼斐、雅非亞、

Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,

以利沙瑪、比利雅大、以利法列。

Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

非利士人聽見大衞受膏作以色列衆人的王、非利士衆人就上來尋索大衞．大衞聽見、就出去迎敵。

When the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went out against them.

非利士人來了、布散在利乏音谷。

Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.

大衞求問神、說、我可以上去攻打非利士人麼．你將他們交在我手裏麼。耶和華說、你可以上去．我必將他們交在你手裏。

David inquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” Yahweh said to him, “Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.”

非利士人來到巴力毘拉心、大衞在那裏殺敗他們．大衞說、神藉我的手沖破敵人、如同水沖去一般。因此稱那地方爲巴力毘拉心。

So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like waters breaking out. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

非利士人將神像撇在那裏．大衞吩咐人用火焚燒了。

They left their gods there; and David gave a command, and they were burned with fire.

非利士人又布散在利乏音谷。

The Philistines made a another raid in the valley.

大衞又求問神．神說、不要一直的上去．要轉到他們後頭、從桑林對面攻打他們。

David inquired again of God; and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come on them opposite the mulberry trees.

你聽見桑樹梢上有腳步的聲音、就要出戰．因爲神已經在你前頭去攻打非利士人的軍隊。

When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”

大衞就遵着神所吩咐的、攻打非利士人的軍隊、從基遍直到基色。

David did as God commanded him; and they attacked the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

於是大衞的名傳揚到列國．耶和華使列國都懼怕他。

The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought the fear of him on all nations.

第15章

大衞在大衞城爲自己建造宮殿．又爲神的約櫃豫備地方、支搭帳幕。

David made himself houses in David’s city; and he prepared a place for God’s ark, and pitched a tent for it.

那時大衞說、除了利未人之外、無人可抬神的約櫃．因爲耶和華揀選他們抬神的約櫃、且永遠事奉他。

Then David said, “No one ought to carry God’s ark but the Levites. For Yahweh has chosen them to carry God’s ark, and to minister to him forever.”

大衞招聚以色列衆人到耶路撒冷、要將耶和華的約櫃抬到他所豫備的地方。

David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up Yahweh’s ark to its place, which he had prepared for it.

大衞又聚集亞倫的子孫、和利未人．

David gathered together the sons of Aaron and the Levites:

哥轄子孫中有族長烏列、和他的弟兄一百二十人．

of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brothers one hundred twenty;

米拉利子孫中、有族長亞帥雅、和他的弟兄二百二十人．

of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred twenty;

革順子孫中、有族長約珥、和他的弟兄一百三十人。

of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brothers one hundred thirty;

以利撒反子孫中、有族長示瑪雅、和他的弟兄二百人．

of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred;

希伯崙子孫中、有族長以列、和他的弟兄八十人．

of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brothers eighty;

烏薛子孫中、有族長亞米拿達、和他的弟兄一百一十二人。

of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brothers one hundred twelve.

大衞將祭司撒督和亞比亞他、並利未人烏列、亞帥雅、約珥、示瑪雅、以列、亞米拿達召來、

David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab,

對他們說、你們是利未人的族長．你們和你們的弟兄、應當自潔、好將耶和華以色列神的約櫃抬到我所豫備的地方。

and said to them, “You are the heads of the fathers’ households of the Levites. Sanctify yourselves, both you and your brothers, that you may bring the ark of Yahweh, the God of Israel, up to the place that I have prepared for it.

因你們先前沒有抬這約櫃、按定例求問耶和華我們的神、所以他刑罰〈原文作闖殺〉我們．

For because you didn’t carry it at first, Yahweh our God broke out in anger against us, because we didn’t seek him according to the ordinance.”

於是祭司利未人自潔、好將耶和華以色列神的約櫃抬上來。

So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

利未子孫就用槓、肩抬神的約櫃、是照耶和華藉摩西所吩咐的。

The children of the Levites bore God’s ark on their shoulders with its poles, as Moses commanded according to Yahweh’s word.

大衞吩咐利未人的族長、派他們歌唱的弟兄、用琴瑟和鈸作樂、歡歡喜喜的大聲歌頌。

David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brothers as singers with instruments of music, stringed instruments, harps, and cymbals, sounding aloud and lifting up their voices with joy.

於是利未人派約珥的兒子希幔、和他弟兄中比利家的兒子亞薩、並他們族弟兄米拉利子孫裏古沙雅的兒子以探。

So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brothers, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brothers, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;

其次還有他們的弟兄撒迦利雅、便、雅薛、示米拉末、耶歇、烏尼、以利押、比拿雅、瑪西雅、瑪他提雅、以利斐利戶、彌克尼雅、並守門的俄別以東和耶利。

and with them their brothers of the second rank, Zechariah, Ben, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers.

這樣、派歌唱的希幔、亞薩、以探、敲銅鈸、大發響聲．

So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were given cymbals of brass to sound aloud;

派撒迦利雅、雅薛、示米拉末、耶歇、烏尼、以利押、瑪西雅、比拿雅、鼓瑟、調用女音．

and Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with stringed instruments set to Alamoth;

又派瑪他提雅、以利斐利戶、彌克尼雅、俄別以東、耶利、亞撒西雅、領首彈琴、調用第八。

and Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps tuned to the eight-stringed lyre, to lead.

利未人的族長基拿尼雅、是歌唱人的首領．又教訓人歌唱、因爲他精通此事。

Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the singing. He taught the singers, because he was skillful.

比利家、以利加拿、是約櫃前守門的。

Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

祭司示巴尼、約沙法、拿坦業、亞瑪賽、撒迦利雅、比拿亞、以利以謝、在神的約櫃前吹號．俄別以東和耶希亞也是約櫃前守門的。

Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, blew the trumpets before God’s ark; and Obed-Edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.

於是大衞和以色列的長老、並千夫長、都去從俄別以東的家歡歡喜喜的將耶和華的約櫃抬上來。

So David, the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring the ark of Yahweh’s covenant up out of the house of Obed-Edom with joy.

神賜恩與抬耶和華約櫃的利未人、他們就獻上七隻公牛、七隻公羊。

When God helped the Levites who bore the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.

大衞和抬約櫃的利未人、並歌唱人的首領基拿尼雅、以及歌唱的人、都穿着細麻布的外袍．大衞另外穿着細麻布的以弗得。

David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who bore the ark, the singers, and Chenaniah the choir master with the singers; and David had an ephod of linen on him.

這樣、以色列衆人歡呼吹角、吹號、敲鈸、鼓瑟、彈琴、大發響聲、將耶和華的約櫃抬上來。

Thus all Israel brought the ark of Yahweh’s covenant up with shouting, with sound of the cornet, with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding aloud with stringed instruments and harps.

耶和華的約櫃進了大衞城的時候、掃羅的女兒米甲從窗戶裏觀看、見大衞王踴躍跳舞、心裏就輕視他。

As the ark of Yahweh’s covenant came to David’s city, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and playing; and she despised him in her heart.

第16章

衆人將神的約櫃請進去、安放在大衞所搭的帳幕裏、就在神面前獻燔祭、和平安祭。

They brought in God’s ark, and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.

大衞獻完了燔祭和平安祭、就奉耶和華的名給民祝福．

When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in Yahweh’s name.

並且分給以色列人、無論男女、每人一個餅、一塊肉、一個葡萄餅。

He gave to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.

大衞派幾個利未人在耶和華的約櫃前事奉、頌揚、稱謝、讚美耶和華以色列的神．

He appointed some of the Levites to minister before Yahweh’s ark, and to commemorate, to thank, and to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel:

爲首的是亞薩、其次是撒迦利雅、雅薛、示米拉末、耶歇、瑪他提雅、以利押、比拿雅、俄別以東、耶利、鼓瑟彈琴．惟有亞薩敲鈸、大發響聲．

Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;

祭司比拿雅和雅哈悉常在神的約櫃前吹號。

with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.

那日大衞初次藉亞薩和他的弟兄、以詩歌稱頌耶和華、說、

Then on that day David first ordained to give thanks to Yahweh, by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.

你們要稱謝耶和華、求告他的名、在萬民中傳揚他的作爲。

Oh give thanks to Yahweh. Call on his name. Make what he has done known among the peoples.

要向他唱詩、歌頌、談論他一切奇妙的作爲。

Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.

要以他的聖名誇耀．尋求耶和華的人心中應當歡喜。

Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.

要尋求耶和華與他的能力．時常尋求他的面。

Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more.

他僕人以色列的後裔、他所揀選雅各的子孫哪、你們要記念他奇妙的作爲、和他的奇事、並他口中的判語。

Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

他僕人以色列的後裔、他所揀選雅各的子孫哪、你們要記念他奇妙的作爲、和他的奇事、並他口中的判語。

you offspring of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

他是耶和華我們的神．全地都有他的判斷。

He is Yahweh our God. His judgments are in all the earth.

你們要記念他的約、直到永遠、他所吩咐的話、直到千代、

Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

就是與亞伯拉罕所立的約、向以撒所起的誓．

the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.

他又將這約向雅各定爲律例．向以色列定爲永遠的約、

He confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

說、我必將迦南地賜給你、作你產業的分．

saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,”

當時你們人丁有限、數目稀少、並且在那地爲寄居的．

when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners were in it.

他們從這邦游到那邦、從這國行到那國。

They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.

耶和華不容甚麼人欺負他們．爲他們的緣故責備君王、

He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,

說、不可難爲我受膏的人、也不可惡待我的先知。

“Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”

全地都要向耶和華歌唱、天天傳揚他的救恩。

Sing to Yahweh, all the earth! Display his salvation from day to day.

在列邦中述說他的榮耀、在萬民中述說他的奇事。

Declare his glory among the nations, and his marvelous works among all the peoples.

因耶和華爲大、當受極大的讚美．他在萬神之上當受敬畏。

For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.

外邦的神都屬虛無．惟獨耶和華創造諸天。

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

有尊榮和威嚴在他面前．有能力和喜樂在他聖所。

Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.

民中的萬族阿、你們要將榮耀能力歸給耶和華、都歸給耶和華．

Ascribe to Yahweh, you relatives of the peoples, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!

要將耶和華的名所當得的榮耀歸給他．拿供物來奉到他面前．當以聖潔的妝飾〈的或作爲〉敬拜耶和華。

Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship Yahweh in holy array.

全地要在他面前戰抖．世界也堅定不得動搖。

Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can’t be moved.

願天歡喜、願地快樂．願人在列邦中說、耶和華作王了。

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns!”

願海和其中所充滿的澎湃．願田、和其中所有的都歡樂。

Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is in it!

那時、林中的樹木都要在耶和華面前歡呼．因爲他來要審判全地。

Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before Yahweh, for he comes to judge the earth.

應當稱謝耶和華．因他本爲善．他的慈愛永遠長存。

Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

要說、拯救我們的神阿、求你救我們、聚集我們、使我們脫離外邦、我們好稱讚你的聖名、以讚美你爲誇勝。

Say, “Save us, God of our salvation! Gather us together and deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise.”

耶和華以色列的神、從亙古直到永遠、是應當稱頌的。衆民都說、阿們．並且讚美耶和華。

Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and praised Yahweh.

大衞派亞薩和他的弟兄、在約櫃前常常事奉耶和華、一日盡一日的職分．

So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required;

又派俄別以東和他的弟兄、六十八人、與耶杜頓的兒子俄別以東、並何薩作守門的．

and Obed-Edom with their brothers, sixty-eight; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;

且派祭司撒督和他弟兄衆祭司、在基遍的邱壇耶和華的帳幕前、燔祭壇上、每日早晚、照着耶和華律法書上所吩咐以色列人的、常給耶和華獻燔祭．

and Zadok the priest, and his brothers the priests, before Yahweh’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon,

且派祭司撒督和他弟兄衆祭司、在基遍的邱壇耶和華的帳幕前、燔祭壇上、每日早晚、照着耶和華律法書上所吩咐以色列人的、常給耶和華獻燔祭．

to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in Yahweh’s law, which he commanded to Israel;

與他們一同被派的有希幔、耶杜頓、和其餘被選名字錄在冊上的、稱謝耶和華、因他的慈愛永遠長存．

and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Yahweh, because his loving kindness endures forever;

希幔、耶杜頓同着他們吹號、敲鈸、大發響聲、並用別的樂器隨着歌頌神．耶杜頓的子孫作守門的。

and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.

於是衆民各歸各家．大衞也回去爲家眷祝福。

All the people departed, each man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.

第17章

大衞住在自己宮中、對先知拿單說、看哪、我住在香柏木的宮中、耶和華的約櫃反在幔子裏。

When David lived in his house, David said to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of Yahweh’s covenant is in a tent.”

拿單對大衞說、你可以照你的心意而行．因爲神與你同在。

Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you.”

當夜神的話臨到拿單、說、

That same night, the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

你去告訴我僕人大衞說、耶和華如此說、你不可建造殿宇給我居住。

“Go and tell David my servant, ‘Yahweh says, “You shall not build me a house to dwell in;

自從我領以色列人出埃及、直到今日、我未曾住過殿宇、乃從這會幕到那會幕、從這帳幕到那帳幕。

for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tent to another.

凡我同以色列人所走的地方、我何曾向以色列的一個士師、就是我吩咐牧養我民的說、你爲何不給我建造香柏木的殿宇呢。

In all places in which I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’

現在你要告訴我僕人大衞說、萬軍之耶和華如此說、我從羊圈中將你召來、叫你不再跟從羊羣、立你作我民以色列的君．

“Now therefore, you shall tell my servant David, ‘Yahweh of Armies says, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people Israel.

你無論往那裏去、我常與你同在、剪除你的一切仇敵．我必使你得大名、好像世上大大有名的人一樣。

I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.

我必爲我民以色列選定一個地方、栽培他們、使他們住自己的地方、不再遷移．凶惡之子也不像從前擾害他們、

I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more. The children of wickedness will not waste them any more, as at the first,

並不像我命士師治理我民以色列的時候一樣．我必治服你的一切仇敵、並且我耶和華應許你、必爲你建立家室。

and from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that Yahweh will build you a house.

你壽數滿足歸你列祖的時候、我必使你的後裔接續你的位、我也必堅定他的國。

It will happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your offspring after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

他必爲我建造殿宇、我必堅定他的國位直到永遠。

He will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.

我要作他的父、他要作我的子．並不使我的慈愛離開他、像離開在你以前的掃羅一樣。

I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him that was before you;

我卻要將他永遠堅立在我家裏、和我國裏．他的國位也必堅定、直到永遠。

but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne will be established forever.”’”

拿單就按這一切話、照這默示告訴大衞。

According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

於是大衞王進去、坐在耶和華面前、說、耶和華神阿、我是誰、我的家算甚麼、你竟使我到這地步呢。

Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; and he said, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?

神阿、這在你眼中還看爲小、又應許你僕人的家至於久遠．耶和華神阿、你看顧我好像看顧高貴的人。

This was a small thing in your eyes, God; but you have spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have respected me according to the standard of a man of high degree, Yahweh God.

你加於僕人的尊榮、我還有何言可說呢．因爲你知道你的僕人。

What can David say yet more to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant.

耶和華阿、你行了這大事、並且顯明出來、是因你僕人的緣故、也是照你的心意。

Yahweh, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have done all this greatness, to make known all these great things.

耶和華阿、照我們耳中聽見、沒有可比你的、除你以外再無神。

Yahweh, there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

世上有何民能比你的民以色列呢．你神從埃及救贖他們作自己的子民、又在你贖出來的民面前行大而可畏的事、驅逐列邦人、顯出你的大名。

What one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, to make you a name by great and awesome things, in driving out nations from before your people, whom you redeem out of Egypt?

你使以色列人作你的子民、直到永遠．你耶和華也作他們的神。

For you made your people Israel your own people forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God.

耶和華阿、你所應許僕人和僕人家的話、求你堅定、直到永遠、照你所說的而行。

Now, Yahweh, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as you have spoken.

願你的名永遠堅立、被尊爲大、說、萬軍之耶和華是以色列的神．是治理以色列的神。這樣、你僕人大衞的家、必在你面前堅立。

Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel. The house of David your servant is established before you.’

我的神阿、因你啟示僕人說、我必爲你建立家室、所以僕人大膽在你面前祈禱．

For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. Therefore your servant has found courage to pray before you.

耶和華阿、惟有你是神、你也應許將這福氣賜給僕人．

Now, Yahweh, you are God, and have promised this good thing to your servant.

現在你喜悅賜福與僕人的家、可以永存在你面前．耶和華阿、你已經賜福、還要賜福到永遠。

Now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Yahweh, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.”

第18章

此後、大衞攻打非利士人、把他們治服、從他們手下奪取了迦特、和屬迦特的村莊．

After this, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines.

又攻打摩押、摩押人就歸服大衞、給他進貢。

He defeated Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.

瑣巴王哈大利謝、〈撒母耳下八章三節作哈大底謝〉往伯拉河去、要堅定自己的國權、大衞就攻打他、直到哈馬．

David defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah to Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates.

奪了他的戰車一千、馬兵七千、步兵二萬、將拉戰車的馬砍斷蹄筋．但留下一百輛車的馬。

David took from him one thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them enough for one hundred chariots.

大馬色的亞蘭人來幫助瑣巴王哈大利謝、大衞就殺了亞蘭人二萬二千。

When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck twenty-two thousand men of the Syrians.

於是大衞在大馬色的亞蘭地設立防營、亞蘭人就歸服他、給他進貢。大衞無論往那裏去、耶和華都使他得勝。

Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought tribute. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.

他奪了哈大利謝臣僕所拿的金盾牌、帶到耶路撒冷。

David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

大衞又從屬哈大利謝的提巴、〈提巴或作比他〉和均二城中、奪取了許多的銅．後來所羅門用此製造銅海、銅柱、和一切的銅器。

From Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took very much brass, with which Solomon made the bronze sea, the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

哈馬王陀烏聽見大衞殺敗瑣巴王哈大利謝的全軍、

When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,

就打發他兒子哈多蘭去見大衞王、問他的安、爲他祝福、因爲他殺敗了哈大利謝、原來陀烏與哈大利謝常常爭戰．哈多蘭帶了金銀銅的各樣器皿來。

he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to Greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him (for Hadadezer had wars with Tou); and he had with him all kinds of vessels of gold and silver and brass.

大衞王將這些器皿、並從各國奪來的金銀、就是從以東、摩押、亞捫、非利士、亞瑪力人所奪來的、都分別爲聖獻給耶和華。

King David also dedicated these to Yahweh, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations; from Edom, from Moab, from the children of Ammon, from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

洗魯雅的兒子亞比篩在鹽谷擊殺了以東一萬八千人。

Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

大衞在以東地設立防營、以東人就都歸服他。大衞無論往那裏去、耶和華都使他得勝。

He put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.

大衞作以色列衆人的王．又向衆民秉公行義。

David reigned over all Israel; and he executed justice and righteousness for all his people.

洗魯雅的兒子約押作元帥．亞希律的兒子約沙法作史官．

Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;

亞希突的兒子撒督、和亞比亞他的兒子亞希米勒作祭司長．沙威沙作書記．

Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were priests; Shavsha was scribe;

耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅統轄基利提人和比利提人．大衞的衆子都在王的左右作領袖。

and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief officials serving the king.

第19章

此後、亞捫人的王拿轄死了、他兒子接續他作王。

After this, Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.

大衞說、我要照哈嫩的父親拿轄厚待我的恩典厚待哈嫩。於是大衞差遣使者爲他喪父安慰他。大衞的臣僕到了亞捫人的境內見哈嫩、要安慰他、

David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.

但亞捫人的首領對哈嫩說、大衞差人來安慰你、你想他是尊敬你父親麼．他的臣僕來見你不是爲詳察窺探、傾覆這地麼。

But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven’t his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?”

哈嫩便將大衞臣僕的鬍鬚剃去一半、又割斷他們下半截的衣服、使他們露出下體、打發他們回去。

So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle at their buttocks, and sent them away.

有人將臣僕所遇的事告訴大衞、他就差人去迎接他們、因爲他們甚覺羞恥．告訴他們說、可以住在耶利哥等到鬍鬚長起再回來。

Then some people went and told David how the men were treated. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”

亞捫人知道大衞憎惡他們、哈嫩和亞捫人就打發人、拿一千他連得銀子、從米所波大米、亞蘭瑪迦、瑣巴、雇戰車和馬兵。

When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.

於是雇了三萬二千輛戰車和瑪迦王並他的軍兵．他們來安營在米底巴前。亞捫人也從他們的城裏出來、聚集交戰。

So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah with his people, who came and encamped near Medeba. The children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.

大衞聽見了、就差派約押、統帶勇猛的全軍出去。

When David heard of it, he sent Joab with all the army of the mighty men.

亞捫人出來、在城門前擺陣．所來的諸王另在郊野擺陣。

The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city; and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.

約押看見敵人在他前後擺陣、就從以色列軍中挑選精兵、使他們對着亞蘭人擺陣。

Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose some of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.

其餘的兵交與他兄弟亞比篩、對着亞捫人擺陣。

The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon.

約押對亞比篩說、亞蘭人若強過我、你就來幫助我．亞捫人若強過你、我就去幫助你。

He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.

我們都當剛強、爲本國的民、和神的城邑、作大丈夫．願耶和華憑他的意旨而行。

Be courageous, and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May Yahweh do that which seems good to him.”

於是約押和跟隨他的人前進攻打亞蘭人．亞蘭人在約押面前逃跑。

So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.

亞捫人見亞蘭人逃跑、他們也在約押的兄弟亞比篩面前逃跑進城．約押就回耶路撒冷去了。

When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.

亞蘭人見自己被以色列人打敗、就打發使者將大河那邊的亞蘭人調來、哈大利謝的將軍朔法率領他們。

When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers, and called out the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadadezer leading them.

有人告訴大衞、他就聚集以色列衆人、過約但河、來到亞蘭人那裏、迎着他們擺陣。大衞旣擺陣攻擊亞蘭人、亞蘭人就與他打仗。

David was told that; so he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, came to them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.

亞蘭人在以色列人面前逃跑．大衞殺了亞蘭七千輛戰車的人、四萬步兵．又殺了亞蘭的將軍朔法。

The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrian men seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and also killed Shophach the captain of the army.

屬哈大利謝的諸王見自己被以色列人打敗、就與大衞和好、歸服他．於是亞蘭人不敢再幫助亞捫人了。

When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David, and served him. The Syrians would not help the children of Ammon any more.

第20章

過了一年、到列王出戰的時候、約押率領軍兵、毀壞亞捫人的地、圍攻拉巴。大衞仍住在耶路撒冷。約押攻打拉巴將城傾覆。

At the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, Joab led out the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it.

大衞奪了亞捫人之王所戴的金冠冕、〈王或作瑪勒堪瑪勒堪卽米勒公亞捫族之神名〉其上的金子重一他連得、又嵌着寶石．人將這冠冕戴在大衞頭上．大衞從城裏奪了許多財物．

David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. It was set on David’s head, and he brought very much plunder out of the city.

將城裏的人拉出來、放在鋸下、或鐵耙下、或鐵斧下〈或作強他們用鋸或用打糧食的鐵器或用鐵斧作工〉大衞待亞捫各城的居民都是如此。其後大衞和衆軍都回耶路撒冷去了。

He brought out the people who were in it, and had them cut with saws, with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

後來、以色列人在基色與非利士人打仗．戶沙人西比該殺了偉人的一個兒子細派．非利士人就被制伏了。

After this, war arose at Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued.

又與非利士人打仗．睚珥的兒子伊勒哈難、殺了迦特人歌利亞的兄弟拉哈米．這人的槍桿粗如織布的機軸。

Again there was war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

又在迦特打仗、那裏有一個身量高大的人、手腳都是六指、共有二十四個指頭．他也是偉人的兒子。

There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand, and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.

這人向以色列人罵陣、大衞的哥哥示米亞的兒子約拿單就殺了他。

When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother killed him.

這三個人是迦特偉人的兒子．都死在大衞和他僕人的手下。

These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

第21章

撒但起來攻擊以色列人、激動大衞數點他們。

Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to take a census of Israel.

大衞就吩咐約押、和民中的首領、說、你們去數點以色列人、從別是巴直到但、回來告訴我、我好知道他們的數目。

David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, “Go, count Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know how many there are.”

約押說、願耶和華使他的百姓比現在加增百倍。我主我王阿、他們不都是你的僕人麼．我主爲何吩咐行這事、爲何使以色列人陷在罪裏呢。

Joab said, “May Yahweh make his people a hundred times as many as they are. But, my lord the king, aren’t they all my lord’s servants? Why does my lord require this thing? Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel?”

但王的命令勝過約押。約押就出去、走徧以色列地、回到耶路撒冷、

Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, then came to Jerusalem.

將百姓的總數奏告大衞。以色列人拿刀的、有一百一十萬．猶大人拿刀的、有四十七萬。

Joab gave up the sum of the census of the people to David. All those of Israel were one million one hundred thousand men who drew a sword; and in Judah were four hundred seventy thousand men who drew a sword.

惟有利未人和便雅憫人沒有數在其中．因爲約押厭惡王的這命令。

But he didn’t count Levi and Benjamin among them; for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.

神不喜悅這數點百姓的事、便降災給以色列人。

God was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck Israel.

大衞禱告神說、我行這事大有罪了．現在求你除掉僕人的罪孽．因我所行的甚是愚昧。

David said to God, “I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing. But now put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly.”

耶和華吩咐大衞的先見迦得說、

Yahweh spoke to Gad, David’s seer, saying,

你去告訴大衞說、耶和華如此說、我有三樣災、隨你選擇一樣、我好降與你。

“Go and speak to David, saying, ‘Yahweh says, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’”

於是迦得來見大衞、對他說、耶和華如此說、你可以隨意選擇．

So Gad came to David, and said to him, “Yahweh says, ‘Take your choice:

或三年的饑荒、或敗在你敵人面前、被敵人的刀追殺三個月、或在你國中有耶和華的刀、就是三日的瘟疫、耶和華的使者在以色列的四境施行毀滅。現在你要想一想、我好回覆那差我來的。

either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days the sword of Yahweh, even pestilence in the land, and Yahweh’s angel destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.’”

大衞對迦得說、我甚爲難．我願落在耶和華的手裏、因爲他有豐盛的憐憫．我不願落在人的手裏。

David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let me fall, I pray, into Yahweh’s hand; for his mercies are very great. Don’t let me fall into man’s hand.”

於是耶和華降瘟疫與以色列人．以色列人就死了七萬。

So Yahweh sent a pestilence on Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.

神差遣使者去滅耶路撒冷．剛要滅的時候、耶和華看見後悔、就不降這災了、吩咐滅城的天使說、彀了、住手罷。那時耶和華的使者站在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾塲那裏。

God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was about to destroy, Yahweh saw, and he relented of the disaster, and said to the destroying angel, “It is enough. Now withdraw your hand.” Yahweh’s angel was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

大衞舉目、看見耶和華的使者站在天地間、手裏有拔出來的刀、伸在耶路撒冷以上。大衞和長老都身穿麻衣、面伏於地。

David lifted up his eyes, and saw Yahweh’s angel standing between earth and the sky, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.

大衞禱告神說、吩咐數點百姓的不是我麼．我犯了罪、行了惡．但這羣羊作了甚麼呢．願耶和華我神的手攻擊我、和我的父家．不要攻擊你的民、降瘟疫與他們。

David said to God, “Isn’t it I who commanded the people to be counted? It is even I who have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand, O Yahweh my God, be against me, and against my father’s house; but not against your people, that they should be plagued.”

耶和華的使者吩咐迦得去告訴大衞、叫他上去、在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾塲上、爲耶和華築一座壇。

Then Yahweh’s angel commanded Gad to tell David that David should go up and raise an altar to Yahweh on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

大衞就照着迦得奉耶和華名所說的話上去了。

David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in Yahweh’s name.

那時阿珥楠正打麥子．回頭看見天使、就和他四個兒子都藏起來了。

Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.

大衞到了阿珥楠那裏、阿珥楠看見大衞、就從禾塲上出去、臉伏於地、向他下拜。

As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.

大衞對阿珥楠說、你將這禾塲與相連之地賣給我．我必給你足價、我好在其上爲耶和華築一座壇、使民間的瘟疫止住。

Then David said to Ornan, “Give me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar to Yahweh on it. You shall sell it to me for the full price, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.”

阿珥楠對大衞說、你可以用這禾塲、願我主我王照你所喜悅的去行．我也將牛給你作燔祭、把打糧的器具當柴燒、拿麥子作素祭．這些我都送給你。

Ornan said to David, “Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes. Behold, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal offering. I give it all.”

大衞王對阿珥楠說、不然、我必要用足價向你買．我不用你的物獻給耶和華、也不用白得之物獻爲燔祭。

King David said to Ornan, “No; but I will most certainly buy it for the full price. For I will not take that which is yours for Yahweh, nor offer a burnt offering that costs me nothing.”

於是大衞爲那塊地平了六百舍客勒金子給阿珥楠。

So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.

大衞在那裏爲耶和華築了一座壇、獻燔祭和平安祭、求告耶和華．耶和華就應允他、使火從天降在燔祭壇上。

David built an altar to Yahweh there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called on Yahweh; and he answered him from the sky by fire on the altar of burnt offering.

耶和華吩咐使者、他就收刀入鞘。

Then Yahweh commanded the angel, and he put his sword back into its sheath.

那時大衞見耶和華在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾塲上應允了他、就在那裏獻祭。

At that time, when David saw that Yahweh had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.

摩西在曠野所造之耶和華的帳幕和燔祭壇都在基遍的高處。

For Yahweh’s tabernacle, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.

只是大衞不敢前去求問神．因爲懼怕耶和華使者的刀。

But David couldn’t go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of Yahweh’s angel.

第22章

大衞吩咐聚集住以色列地的外邦人、從其中派石匠鑿石頭、要建造神的殿。

Then David said, “This is the house of Yahweh God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”

大衞豫備許多鐵、作門上的釘子和鈎子．又豫備許多銅、多得無法可稱．

David gave orders to gather together the foreigners who were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to cut dressed stones to build God’s house.

又豫備無數的香柏木．因爲西頓人和推羅人、給大衞運了許多香柏木來。

David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the couplings; and brass in abundance without weight;

大衞說、我兒子所羅門、還年幼嬌嫩、要爲耶和華建造的殿宇、必須高大輝煌、使名譽榮耀、傳徧萬國．所以我要爲殿豫備材料。於是大衞在未死之先豫備的材料甚多。

and cedar trees without number, for the Sidonians and the people of Tyre brought cedar trees in abundance to David.

大衞召了他兒子所羅門來、囑咐他給耶和華以色列的神建造殿宇．

David said, “Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for Yahweh must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries. I will therefore make preparation for it.” So David prepared abundantly before his death.

對所羅門說、我兒阿、我心裏本想爲耶和華我神的名建造殿宇。

Then he called for Solomon his son, and commanded him to build a house for Yahweh, the God of Israel.

只是耶和華的話臨到我、說、你流了多人的血、打了多次大仗．你不可爲我的名建造殿宇、因爲你在我眼前使多人的血流在地上。

David said to Solomon his son, “As for me, it was in my heart to build a house to the name of Yahweh my God.

你要生一個兒子．他必作太平的人．我必使他安靜、不被四圍的仇敵擾亂．他的名要叫所羅門．〈卽太平之意〉他在位的日子、我必使以色列人平安康泰。

But Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, ‘You have shed blood abundantly, and have made great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.

他必爲我的名建造殿宇．他要作我的子、我要作他的父．他作以色列王、我必堅定他的國位、直到永遠。

Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of peace. I will give him rest from all his enemies all around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.

我兒阿、現今願耶和華與你同在、使你亨通、照他指着你說的話、建造耶和華你神的殿。

He shall build a house for my name; and he will be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.’

但願耶和華賜你聰明智慧、好治理以色列國、遵行耶和華你神的律法。

Now, my son, may Yahweh be with you and prosper you, and build the house of Yahweh your God, as he has spoken concerning you.

你若謹守遵行耶和華藉摩西吩咐以色列的律例典章、就得亨通．你當剛強壯膽、不要懼怕、也不要驚惶。

May Yahweh give you discretion and understanding, and put you in charge of Israel; that so you may keep the law of Yahweh your God.

我在困難之中爲耶和華的殿豫備了金子十萬他連得、銀子一百萬他連得、銅和鐵、多得無法可稱．我也豫備了木頭、石頭、你還可以增添。

Then you will prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which Yahweh gave Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid, and don’t be dismayed.

你有許多匠人、就是石匠、木匠、和一切能作各樣工的巧匠．

Now, behold, in my affliction I have prepared for Yahweh’s house one hundred thousand talents of gold, one million talents of silver, and brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance. I have also prepared timber and stone; and you may add to them.

並有無數的金、銀、銅、鐵。你當起來辦事．願耶和華與你同在。

There are also workmen with you in abundance, cutters and workers of stone and timber, and all kinds of men who are skillful in every kind of work;

大衞又吩咐以色列的衆首領幫助他兒子所羅門、說、

of the gold, the silver, the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and may Yahweh be with you.”

耶和華你們的神不是與你們同在麼．不是叫你們四圍都平安麼．因他已將這地的居民交在我手中．這地就在耶和華與他百姓面前制伏了。

David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

現在你們應當立定心意、尋求耶和華你們的神．也當起來建造耶和華神的聖所、好將耶和華的約櫃、和供奉神的聖器皿、都搬進爲耶和華名建造的殿裏。

“Isn’t Yahweh your God with you? Hasn’t he given you rest on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before Yahweh, and before his people.

Now set your heart and your soul to follow Yahweh your God. Arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of Yahweh God, to bring the ark of Yahweh’s covenant and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for Yahweh’s name.”

第23章

大衞年紀老邁、日子滿足、就立他兒子所羅門作以色列的王。

Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

大衞招聚以色列的衆首領、和祭司利未人。

He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.

利未人從三十歲以外的都被數點、他們男丁的數目、共有三萬八千。

The Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.

其中有二萬四千人、管理耶和華殿的事．有六千人作官長和士師．

David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of Yahweh’s house, six thousand were officers and judges,

有四千人作守門的．又有四千人用大衞所作的樂器頌讚耶和華。

four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised Yahweh with the instruments which I made for giving praise.”

大衞將利未人革順、哥轄、米拉利的子孫、分了班次。

David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

革順的子孫有拉但和示每。

Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.

拉但的長子是耶歇、還有細坦和約珥、共三人。

The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, Zetham, and Joel, three.

示每的兒子是示羅密、哈薛、哈蘭三人。這是拉但族的族長。

The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.

示每的兒子是雅哈、細拿、耶烏施、比利亞、共四人。

The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

雅哈是長子、細撒是次子．但耶烏施和比利亞的子孫不多．所以算爲一族。

Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah didn’t have many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in one reckoning.

哥轄的兒子是暗蘭、以斯哈、希伯倫、烏薛共四人。

The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

暗蘭的兒子是亞倫、摩西．亞倫和他的子孫分出來、好分別至聖的物、在耶和華面前燒香、事奉他、奉他的名祝福、直到永遠。

The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons, forever, to burn incense before Yahweh, to minister to him, and to bless in his name, forever.

至於神人摩西、他的子孫、名字記在利未支派的冊上。

But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.

摩西的兒子是革舜和以利以謝．

The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.

革舜的長子是細布業．

The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.

以利以謝的兒子是利哈比雅、以利以謝沒有別的兒子．但利哈比雅的子孫甚多。

The sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

以斯哈的長子是示羅密。

The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.

希伯倫的長子是耶利雅．次子是亞瑪利亞．三子是雅哈悉．四子是耶加面。

The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

烏薛的長子是米迦．次子是耶西雅。

The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.

米拉利的兒子是抹利、母示、抹利的兒子是以利亞撒、基士。

The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.

以利亞撒死了、沒有兒子、只有女兒．他們本族基士的兒子娶了他們爲妻。

Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only: and their brothers the sons of Kish took them as wives.

母示的兒子是末力、以得、耶利摩共三人。

The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth, three.

以上利未子孫作族長的、照着男丁的數目、從二十歲以外、都辦耶和華殿的事務。

These were the sons of Levi after their fathers’ houses, even the heads of the fathers’ houses of those who were counted individually, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of Yahweh’s house, from twenty years old and upward.

大衞說、耶和華以色列的神、已經使他的百姓平安．他永遠住在耶路撒冷。

For David said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.

利未人不必再抬帳幕、和其中所用的一切器皿了。

Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.”

照着大衞臨終所吩咐的、利未人從二十歲以外的、都被數點。

For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were counted, from twenty years old and upward.

他們的職任、是服事亞倫的子孫、在耶和華的殿、和院子、並屋中辦事、潔淨一切聖物、就是辦神殿的事務．

For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of Yahweh’s house, in the courts, and in the rooms, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of God’s house;

並管理陳設餅、素祭的細麵、或無酵薄餅、或用盤烤、或用油調和的物、又管理各樣的升斗尺度．

for the show bread also, and for the fine flour for a meal offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all measurements of quantity and size;

每日早晚、站立稱謝讚美耶和華．

and to stand every morning to thank and praise Yahweh, and likewise in the evening;

又在安息日、月朔、並節期、按數照例、將燔祭常常獻給耶和華．

and to offer all burnt offerings to Yahweh, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before Yahweh;

又看守會幕、和聖所、並守耶和華吩咐他們弟兄亞倫子孫的、辦耶和華殿的事。

and that they should keep the duty of the Tent of Meeting, the duty of the holy place, and the duty of the sons of Aaron their brothers, for the service of Yahweh’s house.

第24章

亞倫子孫的班次、記在下面．亞倫的兒子是拿答、亞比戶、以利亞撒、以他瑪。

These were the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

拿答、亞比戶死在他們父親之先、沒有留下兒子．故此、以利亞撒、以他瑪供祭司的職分。

But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest’s office.

以利亞撒的子孫撒督、和以他瑪的子孫亞希米勒、同着大衞將他們的族弟兄、分成班次。

David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering in their service.

以利亞撒子孫中爲首的、比以他瑪子孫中爲首的更多．分班如下．以利亞撒的子孫中、有十六個族長．以他瑪的子孫中、有八個族長．

There were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and they were divided like this: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, heads of fathers’ houses; and of the sons of Ithamar, according to their fathers’ houses, eight.

都掣籤分立、彼此一樣．在聖所和神面前作首領的、有以利亞撒的子孫、也有以他瑪的子孫。

Thus were they divided impartially by drawing lots; for there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.

作書記的利未人拿坦業的兒子示瑪雅在王和首領、與祭司撒督、亞比亞他的兒子亞希米勒、並祭司利未人的族長面前、記錄他們的名字．在以利亞撒的子孫中取一族、在以他瑪的子孫中取一族。

Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was of the Levites, wrote them in the presence of the king, the princes, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the priests and of the Levites; one fathers’ house being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.

掣籤的時候、第一掣出來的是耶何雅立、第二是耶大雅、

Now the first lot came out to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,

第三是哈琳、第四是梭琳、

the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,

第五是瑪基雅、第六是米雅民、

the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,

第七是哈歌斯、第八是亞比雅、

the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,

第九是耶書亞、第十是示迦尼、

the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,

第十一是以利亞實、第十二是雅金、

the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,

第十三是胡巴、第十四是耶是比押、

the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,

第十五是璧迦、第十六是音麥、

the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,

第十七是希悉、第十八是哈闢悉、

the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez,

第十九是毘他希雅、第二十是以西結、

the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel,

第二十一是雅斤、第二十二是迦末、

the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul,

第二十三是第來雅、第二十四是瑪西亞。

the twenty-third to Delaiah, and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.

這就是他們的班次、要照耶和華以色列的神藉他們祖宗亞倫所吩咐的條例、進入耶和華的殿、辦理事務。

This was their ordering in their service, to come into Yahweh’s house according to the ordinance given to them by Aaron their father, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, had commanded him.

利未其餘的子孫如下．暗蘭的子孫裏有書巴業．書巴業的子孫裏有耶希底亞．

Of the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah.

利哈比雅的子孫裏有長子伊示雅．

Of Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, Isshiah the chief.

以斯哈的子孫裏有示羅摩．示羅摩的子孫裏有雅哈．

Of the Izharites, Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath.

希伯倫的子孫裏有長子耶利雅、次子亞瑪利亞、三子雅哈悉、四子耶加面。

The sons of Hebron: Jeriah, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

烏薛的子孫裏有米迦．米迦的子孫裏有沙密。

The sons of Uzziel: Micah; of the sons of Micah, Shamir.

米迦的兄弟是伊示雅．伊示雅的子孫裏有撒迦利雅。

The brother of Micah: Isshiah; of the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah.

米拉利的兒子是抹利、母示、雅西雅．雅西雅的兒子有比挪．

The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The son of Jaaziah: Beno.

米拉利的子孫裏有雅西雅的兒子比挪、朔含、撒刻、伊比利。

The sons of Merari: of Jaaziah, Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri.

抹利的兒子是以利亞撒．以利亞撒沒有兒子。

Of Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons.

基士的子孫裏有耶拉篾。

Of Kish, the son of Kish: Jerahmeel.

母示的兒子是末力、以得、耶利摩。按着宗族這都是利未的子孫。

The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites after their fathers’ houses.

他們在大衞王和撒督、並亞希米勒、與祭司利未人的族長面前掣籤、正如他們弟兄亞倫的子孫一般．各族的長者與兄弟沒有分別。

These likewise cast lots even as their brothers the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the priests and of the Levites; the fathers’ households of the chief even as those of his younger brother.

第25章

大衞和衆首領分派亞薩、希幔並耶杜頓的子孫、彈琴、鼓瑟、敲鈸、唱歌。〈唱歌原文作說豫言本章同〉他們供職的人數、記在下面．

Moreover, David and the captains of the army set apart for the service certain of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who were to prophesy with harps, with stringed instruments, and with cymbals. The number of those who did the work according to their service was:

亞薩的兒子撒刻、約瑟、尼探雅、亞薩利拉、都歸亞薩指教、遵王的旨意唱歌。

of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah. The sons of Asaph were under the hand of Asaph, who prophesied at the order of the king.

耶杜頓的兒子基大利、西利、耶篩亞、哈沙比雅、瑪他提雅、示每共六人、都歸他們父親耶杜頓指教、彈琴、唱歌、稱謝、頌讚耶和華。

Of Jeduthun; the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied in giving thanks and praising Yahweh with the harp.

希幔的兒子布基雅、瑪探雅、烏薛、細布業、耶利摩、哈拿尼雅、哈拿尼、以利亞他、基大利提、羅幔提以謝、約施比加沙、瑪羅提、何提、瑪哈秀．

這都是希幔的兒子、吹角頌讚。希幔奉神之命作王的先見。神賜給希幔十四個兒子、三個女兒．

All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

都歸他們父親指教、在耶和華的殿唱歌、敲鈸、彈琴、鼓瑟、辦神殿的事務．亞薩、耶杜頓、希幔都是王所命定的。

All these were under the hands of their father for song in Yahweh’s house, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps, for the service of God’s house; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the order of the king.

他們和他們的弟兄學習頌讚耶和華．善於歌唱的、共有二百八十八人。

The number of them, with their brothers who were instructed in singing to Yahweh, even all who were skillful, was two hundred eighty-eight.

這些人無論大小、爲師的、爲徒的、都一同掣籤分了班次。

They cast lots for their offices, all alike, the small as well as the great, the teacher as well as the student.

But David didn’t take the number of them from twenty years old and under, because Yahweh had said he would increase Israel like the stars of the sky.

洗魯雅的兒子約押動手數點、當時耶和華的烈怒、臨到以色列人．因此、沒有點完、數目也沒有寫在大衞王記上。

第28章

大衞招聚以色列各支派的首領、和輪班服事王的軍長、與千夫長、百夫長、掌管王和王子產業牲畜的、並太監、以及大能的勇士、都到耶路撒冷來。

David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, the captains of the companies who served the king by division, the captains of thousands, the captains of hundreds, and the rulers over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valor, to Jerusalem.

大衞王就站起來、說、我的弟兄、我的百姓阿、你們當聽我言、我心裏本想建造殿宇、安放耶和華的約櫃、作爲我神的腳凳．我已經豫備建造的材料。

Then David the king stood up on his feet, and said, “Hear me, my brothers, and my people! As for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, and for the footstool of our God; and I had prepared for the building.

只是神對我說、你不可爲我的名建造殿宇、因你是戰士、流了人的血。

But God said to me, ‘You shall not build a house for my name, because you are a man of war, and have shed blood.’

然而耶和華以色列的神、在我父的全家揀選我作以色列的王、直到永遠．因他揀選猶大爲首領、在猶大支派中揀選我父家、在我父的衆子裏喜悅我、立我作以色列衆人的王。

However Yahweh, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever. For he has chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel.

耶和華賜我許多兒子．在我兒子中、揀選所羅門坐耶和華的國位、治理以色列人。

Of all my sons (for Yahweh has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of Yahweh’s kingdom over Israel.

耶和華對我說、你兒子所羅門必建造我的殿和院宇．因爲我揀選他作我的子、我也必作他的父。

He said to me, ‘Solomon, your son, shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.

他若恆久遵行我的誡命典章、如今日一樣、我就必堅定他的國位、直到永遠。

I will establish his kingdom forever if he continues to do my commandments and my ordinances, as it is today.’

現今在耶和華的會中、以色列衆人眼前所說的、我們的神也聽見了．你們應當尋求耶和華你們神的一切誡命、謹守遵行．如此你們可以承受這美地、遺留給你們的子孫、永遠爲業。

Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, Yahweh’s assembly, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of Yahweh your God; that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever.

我兒所羅門哪、你當認識耶和華你父的神、誠心樂意的事奉他．因爲他鑒察衆人的心、知道一切心思意念．你若尋求他、他必使你尋見．你若離棄他、他必永遠丟棄你。

You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

你當謹愼、因耶和華揀選你建造殿宇、作爲聖所．你當剛強去行。

Take heed now; for Yahweh has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong, and do it.”

大衞將殿的遊廊、旁屋、府庫、樓房、內殿、和施恩所的樣式、指示他兒子所羅門．

Then David gave to Solomon his son the plans for the porch of the temple, for its houses, for its treasuries, for its upper rooms, for its inner rooms, for the place of the mercy seat;

又將被靈感動所得的樣式、就是耶和華神殿的院子、周圍的房屋、殿的府庫、和聖物府庫的一切樣式都指示他．

and the plans of all that he had by the Spirit, for the courts of Yahweh’s house, for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of God’s house, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;

又指示他祭司和利未人的班次、與耶和華殿裏各樣的工作、並耶和華殿裏一切器皿的樣式、

also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for all the work of the service of Yahweh’s house, and for all the vessels of service in Yahweh’s house;

以及各樣應用金器的分兩、和各樣應用銀器的分兩．

of gold by weight for the gold, for all vessels of every kind of service; for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service;

金燈臺和金燈的分兩、銀燈臺和銀燈的分兩、輕重各都合宜．

by weight also for the lamp stands of gold, and for its lamps, of gold, by weight for every lamp stand and for its lamps; and for the lamp stands of silver, by weight for every lamp stand and for its lamps, according to the use of every lamp stand;

陳設餅金桌子的分兩、銀桌子的分兩、

and the gold by weight for the tables of show bread, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver;

精金的肉叉子、盤子、和爵的分兩、各金碗與各銀碗的分兩、

and the forks, the basins, and the cups, of pure gold; and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl;

精金香壇的分兩、並用金子作基路伯．〈原文作用金子作車式的基路伯〉基路伯張開翅膀、遮掩耶和華的約櫃。

and for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the plans for the chariot, and the cherubim that spread out and cover the ark of Yahweh’s covenant.

大衞說、這一切工作的樣式、都是耶和華用手畫出來、使我明白的。

“All this”, said David, “I have been made to understand in writing from Yahweh’s hand, even all the works of this pattern.”

大衞又對他兒子所羅門說、你當剛強壯膽去行．不要懼怕、也不要驚惶．因爲耶和華神就是我的神、與你同在、他必不撇下你、也不丟棄你、直到耶和華殿的工作都完畢了。

David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed; for Yahweh God, even my God, is with you. He will not fail you, nor forsake you, until all the work for the service of Yahweh’s house is finished.

有祭司和利未人的各班、爲要辦理神殿各樣的事．又有靈巧的人、在各樣的工作上、樂意幫助你．並有衆首領和衆民、一心聽從你的命令。

Behold, there are the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for all the service of God’s house. Every willing man who has skill, for any kind of service, shall be with you in all kinds of work. Also the captains and all the people will be entirely at your command.”

第29章

大衞王對會衆說、我兒子所羅門是神特選的、還年幼嬌嫩、這工程甚大．因這殿不是爲人、乃是爲耶和華神建造的。

David the king said to all the assembly, “Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great; for the palace is not for man, but for Yahweh God.

我爲我神的殿已經盡力、豫備金子作金器、銀子作銀器、銅作銅器、鐵作鐵器、木作木器、還有紅瑪瑙可鑲嵌的寶石、彩石和一切的寶石、並許多漢白玉。

Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for the things of gold, the silver for the things of silver, the brass for the things of brass, iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood; also onyx stones, stones to be set, stones for inlaid work, of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.

且因我心中愛慕我神的殿、就在豫備建造聖殿的材料之外、又將我自己積蓄的金銀獻上、建造我神的殿．

In addition, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, since I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver, I give it to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,

就是俄斐金三千他連得、精煉的銀子七千他連得、以貼殿牆。

even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, with which to overlay the walls of the houses;

金子作金器、銀子作銀器、並藉匠人的手製造一切。今日有誰樂意將自己獻給耶和華呢。

of gold for the things of gold, and of silver for the things of silver, and for all kinds of work to be made by the hands of artisans. Who then offers willingly to consecrate himself today to Yahweh?”

於是衆族長、和以色列各支派的首領、千夫長、百夫長、並監管王工的官長、都樂意獻上。

Then the princes of the fathers’ households, and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers over the king’s work, offered willingly;

他們爲神殿的使用、獻上金子五千他連得、零一萬達利克、銀子一萬他連得、銅一萬八千他連得、鐵十萬他連得。

and they gave for the service of God’s house of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand darics, of silver ten thousand talents, of brass eighteen thousand talents, and of iron one hundred thousand talents.

凡有寶石的都交給革順人耶歇、送入耶和華殿的府庫。

People with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of Yahweh’s house, under the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.

因這些人誠心樂意獻給耶和華、百姓就歡喜、大衞王也大大歡喜。

Then the people rejoiced, because they offered willingly, because with a perfect heart they offered willingly to Yahweh; and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.

所以大衞在會衆面前稱頌耶和華、說、耶和華我們的父、以色列的神是應當稱頌、直到永永遠遠的。

Therefore David blessed Yahweh before all the assembly; and David said, “You are blessed, Yahweh, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever.

耶和華阿、尊大、能力、榮耀、強勝、威嚴都是你的．凡天上地下的、都是你的、國度、也是你的．並且你爲至高、爲萬有之首。

Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty! For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you are exalted as head above all.

豐富尊榮都從你而來、你也治理萬物．在你手裏有大能大力、使人尊大強盛都出於你。

Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all! In your hand is power and might! It is in your hand to make great, and to give strength to all!

我們的神阿、現在我們稱謝你、讚美你榮耀之名。

Now therefore, our God, we thank you, and praise your glorious name.

我算甚麼、我的民算甚麼、竟能如此樂意奉獻．因爲萬物都從你而來、我們把從你而得的獻給你。

But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.

我們在你面前是客旅、是寄居的、與我們列祖一樣．我們在世的日子如影兒、不能長存。〈或作沒有長存的指望〉

For we are strangers before you, and foreigners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no remaining.

耶和華我們的神阿、我們豫備這許多材料、要爲你的聖名建造殿宇、都是從你而來、都是屬你的。

Yahweh our God, all this store that we have prepared to build you a house for your holy name comes from your hand, and is all your own.

我的神阿、我知道你察驗人心、喜悅正直。我以正直的心樂意獻上這一切物．現在我喜歡見你的民、在這裏都樂意奉獻與你。

I know also, my God, that you try the heart, and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. Now I have seen with joy your people, who are present here, offer willingly to you.

耶和華我們列祖亞伯拉罕、以撒、以色列的神阿、求你使你的民、常存這樣的心思意念、堅定他們的心歸向你．

Yahweh, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this desire forever in the thoughts of the heart of your people, and prepare their heart for you;

又求你賜我兒子所羅門誠實的心、遵守你的命令、法度、律例、成就這一切的事、用我所豫備的建造殿宇。

and give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for which I have made provision.”

Then David said to all the assembly, “Now bless Yahweh your God!” All the assembly blessed Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads and prostrated themselves before Yahweh and the king.

次日、他們向耶和華獻平安祭和燔祭、就是獻公牛一千隻、公綿羊一千隻、羊羔一千隻、並同獻的奠祭．又爲以色列衆人獻許多的祭．那日他們在耶和華面前喫喝、大大歡樂。

They sacrificed sacrifices to Yahweh, and offered burnt offerings to Yahweh, on the next day after that day, even one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, and one thousand lambs, with their drink offerings and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel,

他們奉耶和華的命、再膏大衞的兒子所羅門作王、又膏撒督作祭司。

and ate and drank before Yahweh on that day with great gladness. They made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him before Yahweh to be prince, and Zadok to be priest.

於是所羅門坐在耶和華所賜的位上、接續他父親大衞作王、萬事亨通．以色列衆人也都聽從他。

Then Solomon sat on the throne of Yahweh as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.

衆首領和勇士、並大衞王的衆子、都順服所羅門王。

All the princes, the mighty men, and also all of the sons of king David submitted themselves to Solomon the king.

耶和華使所羅門在以色列衆人眼前甚爲尊大、極其威嚴、勝過在他以前的以色列王。

Yahweh magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and gave to him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

作王共四十年．在希伯崙作王七年、在耶路撒冷作王三十三年。

The time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

他年紀老邁、日子滿足、享受豐富、尊榮、就死了．他兒子所羅門接續他作王。

He died at a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor; and Solomon his son reigned in his place.

大衞王始終的事、都寫在先見撒母耳的書上和先知拿單並先見迦得的書上。

Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Samuel the seer, and in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the history of Gad the seer,

他的國事、和他的勇力、以及他和以色列並列國所經過的事、都寫在這書上。

with all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
