5 Akyiri yi, Israel mmusuakuw nyinaa behyiaa Dawid wɔ Hebron+ bɛkae sɛ: “Hwɛ, yɛyɛ wo dompe ne wo honam.*+
2 Efi tete a Saul di hene nyinaa, wo na na wudi Israel anim de wɔn kɔ ɔko;*+ ɛnna Yehowa ka kyerɛɛ wo sɛ, ‘Wo na wobɛyɛn me man Israel, na wo na wubedi Israel anim.’”+
3 Enti Israel mpanyimfo nyinaa baa ɔhene nkyɛn wɔ Hebron, na Ɔhene Dawid ne wɔn yɛɛ apam+ Yehowa anim wɔ Hebron. Ɛnna wɔsraa Dawid de no sii Israel so hene.+
4 Dawid bedii hene no, na wadi mfe 30, na odii ade mfe 40.+
5 Odii Yuda so hene mfe 7 ne abosome 6 wɔ Hebron, na odii Yuda ne Israel nyinaa so hene mfe 33 wɔ Yerusalem.+
6 Ɛnna ɔhene ne ne mmarima kɔɔ Yerusalem sɛ wɔne Yebusifo+ a wɔtete asaase no so no rekɔko, nanso wɔka kyerɛɛ Dawid sɛ: “Worentumi mma ha da! Anifuraefo ne mpakye na wɔbɛpam wo.” Adwene a wonyae ne sɛ: ‘Dawid remma ha.’+
7 Nanso, Dawid ko faa Sion abannennen a seesei wɔfrɛ hɔ Dawid Kurow no.+
8 Ɛnna Dawid kae saa da no sɛ: “Wɔn a wɔbɛtow ahyɛ Yebusifo so no, ma wɔmfa suka no mu nkokunkum ‘mpakye ne anifuraefo’ a Dawid kyi wɔn* no!” Ɛno nti na wɔka sɛ: “Onifuraefo ne apakye remma ofie hɔ da” no.
9 Afei Dawid kɔtenaa abannennen no mu, na wɔfrɛɛ hɔ* Dawid Kurow. Na Dawid fii ase sisii adan wɔ Esiw no*+ so ne mmeae foforo wɔ kurow no mu.+
10 Enti Dawid kɔɔ so yɛɛ den,+ na asafo Nyankopɔn Yehowa dii n’akyi.+
11 Tiro hene Hiram+ tuu abɔfo kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn, de sida nnua+ ne dua adwumfo ne abantofo kaa ho kɔe, na wofii ase sii ofi* maa Dawid.+
12 Dawid behui sɛ Yehowa ama n’ahenni atim wɔ Israel so,+ na Onyankopɔn man Israel nti,+ wama n’ahenni so.+
13 Bere a Dawid fi Hebron bae no, ɔsan faa mpenafo,*+ na ɔwaree yerenom foforo wɔ Yerusalem, na Dawid san woo mma mmarima ne mma mmea wɔ hɔ nso.+
14 Ne mma a ɔwoo wɔn wɔ Yerusalem no din ni: Sammua, Sobab, Natan,+ Solomon,+
15 Ibhar, Elisua, Nefeg, Yafia,
16 Elisama, Eliada, ne Elifelet.
17 Bere a Filistifo no tee sɛ wɔasra Dawid asi no hene wɔ Israel so no,+ wɔn nyinaa bae sɛ wɔne Dawid rebɛko.+ Dawid tee no, ɔkɔɔ abannennen no mu.+
18 Ɛnna Filistifo no bae, na wɔbɛnantenantew Refaim Bon no mu.*+
19 Dawid bisaa Yehowa sɛ:+ “Menkɔ Filistifo no so anaa? Wode wɔn bɛhyɛ me nsa?” Ɛnna Yehowa ka kyerɛɛ Dawid sɛ: “Kɔ, na ɔkwan biara so mede Filistifo no bɛhyɛ wo nsa.”+
20 Enti Dawid kɔɔ Baal-Perasim, na Dawid kokunkum wɔn wɔ hɔ. Ɛnna ɔkae sɛ: “Yehowa adi m’anim abu afa m’atamfo so+ sɛnea nsu bu fa nneɛma so no.” Ɛno nti na ɔfrɛɛ hɔ Baal-Perasim*+ no.
21 Filistifo no gyaw wɔn anyame hɔ kɔe, na Dawid ne ne mmarima no sesaw kɔe.
22 Akyiri yi, Filistifo no san bae, na wɔbɛnantenantew Refaim Bon no mu.*+
23 Ɛnna Dawid bisaa Yehowa, nanso ɔkae sɛ: “Nkohyia wɔn. Kɔ na kofi wɔn akyi bra, na tow hyɛ wɔn so wɔ baka* nnua no anim.
24 Ɛba sɛ wote nnyigyei a ɛte sɛ nnipadɔm nantew wɔ baka nnua no so a, keka wo ho saa bere no, efisɛ ɛno bɛkyerɛ sɛ Yehowa adi w’anim rekokunkum Filistifo asraafo no.”
