Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then cam all the trybes of Israel to Dauid, vnto Hebron and sayd, Beholde, we are of thy bone, and of thy fleshe. ² And in tyme past when Saul was oure kynge, thou leddest Israel in and oute. And the Lorde hath sayd to the: thou shalt fede my people Israell, and thou shalt be a captayne ouer Israel. ³ And so all the elders of Israel came to the kynge to Hebron. And kyng Dauid made a couenaunt wyth them in Hebron before the Lord. And they annoynted Dauid kyng ouer Israell. ⁴ Dauid was thirtye yere olde, when he began to raygne, and he raygned fourtye yere. ⁵ In Hebron he raygned ouer Iuda seuen yere, and syxe monethes: And in Ierusalem he raygned thirtye and thre yeres ouer all Israel and Iuda. ⁶ The kyng also and his men went to Ierusalem, vnto the Iebusites, the enhabiters of the land. Which spake vnto Dauid sayeng: except thou take awaye the blynde and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither. For they sayd: Thou art not able to come in hither. ⁷ Neuerthelesse Dauid toke the strong holde of Sion. The same is the citie of Dauid. ⁸ And Dauid sayd the same daye: Whosoeuer smyteth the Iebusites, & getteth vp to the gutters of the houses, & smyteth the lame & the blynd that hate Dauids soule? Wherfore: they sayd, the blynd and the lame shall not come into the house. ⁹ And so Dauid dwelt in the towre, & called it in the citye of Dauid, & buylt round about it from Millo inwarde. ¹⁰ And Dauid prospered & grew, and the Lord God of hostes was with him ¹¹ And Hiram kyng of Tire sent messengers to Dauid, and Cedar trees, and carpenters & Masons for walles: and they builte Dauid an house. ¹² And Dauid perceaued, that the Lord had stablissshed hym kynge ouer Israel, & that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israels sake. ¹³ And Dauid toke him mo concubyues and wyues out of Ierusalem, after he was come from Hebron, & mo sonnes, & daughters were yet borne to Dauid. ¹⁴ And these be the names of the sonnes that were borne vnto hym in Ierusalem: Sammua, Sobab, Nathan, & Salomon, ¹⁵ Iibhar also and Elisua, Nepheg, & Iaphia, ¹⁶ Elisama Eliada, and Eliaphelet.
