  1. 1Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.וַיָּבֹ֜אוּ כָּל שִׁבְטֵ֧י יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל אֶל דָּוִ֖ד חֶבְר֑וֹנָה וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ לֵאמֹ֔ר הִנְנ֛וּ עַצְמְךָ֥ וּֽבְשָׂרְךָ֖ אֲנָֽחְנוּ
  2. 2Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel.גַּם אֶתְמ֣וֹל גַּם שִׁלְשׁ֗וֹם בִּהְי֨וֹת שָׁא֥וּל מֶ֨לֶךְ֙ עָלֵ֔ינוּ אַתָּ֗ה הייתה הָיִ֛יתָ מוציא הַמּוֹצִ֥יא והמבי וְהַמֵּבִ֖יא אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אַתָּ֨ה תִרְעֶ֤ה אֶת עַמִּי֙ אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאַתָּ֛ה תִּהְיֶ֥ה לְנָגִ֖יד עַל יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
  3. 3So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David king over Israel.וַ֠יָּבֹאוּ כָּל זִקְנֵ֨י יִשְׂרָאֵ֤ל אֶל הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ חֶבְר֔וֹנָה וַיִּכְרֹ֣ת הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ דָּוִ֥ד בְּרִ֛ית בְּחֶבְר֖וֹן לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיִּמְשְׁח֧וּ אֶת דָּוִ֛ד לְמֶ֖לֶךְ עַל יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
  4. 4David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.בֶּן שְׁלֹשִׁ֥ים שָׁנָ֛ה דָּוִ֖ד בְּמָלְכ֑וֹ אַרְבָּעִ֥ים שָׁנָ֖ה מָלָֽךְ
  5. 5In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.בְּחֶבְרוֹן֙ מָלַ֣ךְ עַל יְהוּדָ֔ה שֶׁ֥בַע שָׁנִ֖ים וְשִׁשָּׁ֣ה חֳדָשִׁ֑ים וּבִירוּשָׁלִַ֣ם מָלַ֗ךְ שְׁלֹשִׁ֤ים וְשָׁלֹשׁ֙ שָׁנָ֔ה עַ֥ל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וִיהוּדָֽה
  6. 6And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither.וַיֵּ֨לֶךְ הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו֙ יְר֣וּשָׁלִַ֔ם אֶל הַיְבֻסִ֖י יוֹשֵׁ֣ב הָאָ֑רֶץ וַיֹּ֨אמֶר לְדָוִ֤ד לֵאמֹר֙ לֹא תָב֣וֹא הֵ֔נָּה כִּ֣י אִם הֱסִֽירְךָ֗ הַעִוְרִ֤ים וְהַפִּסְחִים֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר לֹֽא יָב֥וֹא דָוִ֖ד הֵֽנָּה
  7. 7Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.וַיִּלְכֹּ֣ד דָּוִ֔ד אֵ֖ת מְצֻדַ֣ת צִיּ֑וֹן הִ֖יא עִ֥יר דָּוִֽד
  8. 8And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.וַיֹּ֨אמֶר דָּוִ֜ד בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא כָּל מַכֵּ֤ה יְבֻסִי֙ וְיִגַּ֣ע בַּצִּנּ֔וֹר וְאֶת הַפִּסְחִים֙ וְאֶת הַ֣עִוְרִ֔ים שנאו שְׂנֻאֵ֖י נֶ֣פֶשׁ דָּוִ֑ד עַל כֵּן֙ יֹֽאמְר֔וּ עִוֵּ֣ר וּפִסֵּ֔חַ לֹ֥א יָב֖וֹא אֶל הַבָּֽיִת
  9. 9So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.וַיֵּ֤שֶׁב דָּוִד֙ בַּמְּצֻדָ֔ה וַיִּקְרָא עִ֣יר דָּוִ֑ד וַיִּ֤בֶן דָּוִד֙ סָבִ֔יב מִן הַמִּלּ֖וֹא וָבָֽיְתָה
  10. 10And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him.וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ דָּוִ֖ד הָל֣וֹךְ וְגָד֑וֹל וַיהוָ֛ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י צְבָא֖וֹת עִמּֽוֹ
  11. 11And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house.וַ֠יִּשְׁלַח חִירָ֨ם מֶֽלֶךְ צֹ֥ר מַלְאָכִים֮ אֶל דָּוִד֒ וַעֲצֵ֣י אֲרָזִ֔ים וְחָרָשֵׁ֣י עֵ֔ץ וְחָֽרָשֵׁ֖י אֶ֣בֶן קִ֑יר וַיִּבְנֽוּ בַ֖יִת לְדָוִֽד
  12. 12And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.וַיֵּ֣דַע דָּוִ֔ד כִּֽי הֱכִינ֧וֹ יְהוָ֛ה לְמֶ֖לֶךְ עַל יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְכִי֙ נִשֵּׂ֣א מַמְלַכְתּ֔וֹ בַּעֲב֖וּר עַמּ֥וֹ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
  13. 13And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.וַיִּקַּח֩ דָּוִ֨ד ע֜וֹד פִּֽלַגְשִׁ֤ים וְנָשִׁים֙ מִיר֣וּשָׁלִַ֔ם אַחֲרֵ֖י בֹּא֣וֹ מֵחֶבְר֑וֹן וַיִּוָּ֥לְדּוּ ע֛וֹד לְדָוִ֖ד בָּנִ֥ים וּבָנֽוֹת
  14. 14And these be the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,וְאֵ֗לֶּה שְׁמ֛וֹת הַיִּלֹּדִ֥ים בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם שַׁמּ֣וּעַ וְשׁוֹבָ֔ב וְנָתָ֖ן וּשְׁלֹמֹֽה
  15. 15Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,וְיִבְחָ֥ר וֶאֱלִישׁ֖וּעַ וְנֶ֥פֶג וְיָפִֽיעַ
  16. 16And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.וֶאֱלִישָׁמָ֥ע וְאֶלְיָדָ֖ע וֶאֱלִיפָֽלֶט
  17. 17But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.וַיִּשְׁמְע֣וּ פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים כִּי מָשְׁח֨וּ אֶת דָּוִ֤ד לְמֶ֨לֶךְ֙ עַל יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיַּעֲל֥וּ כָל פְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים לְבַקֵּ֣שׁ אֶת דָּוִ֑ד וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע דָּוִ֔ד וַיֵּ֖רֶד אֶל הַמְּצוּדָֽה
  18. 18The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.וּפְלִשְׁתִּ֖ים בָּ֑אוּ וַיִּנָּטְשׁ֖וּ בְּעֵ֥מֶק רְפָאִֽים
  19. 19And David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.וַיִּשְׁאַ֨ל דָּוִ֤ד בַּֽיהוָה֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר הַאֶֽעֱלֶה֙ אֶל פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים הֲתִתְּנֵ֖ם בְּיָדִ֑י וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֤ה אֶל דָּוִד֙ עֲלֵ֔ה כִּֽי נָתֹ֥ן אֶתֵּ֛ן אֶת הַפְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים בְּיָדֶֽךָ
  20. 20And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim.וַיָּבֹ֨א דָוִ֥ד פְּרָצִים֮ וַיַּכֵּ֣ם שָׁ֣ם דָּוִד֒ וַיֹּ֕אמֶר פָּרַ֨ץ יְהוָ֧ה אֶת אֹיְבַ֛י לְפָנַ֖י כְּפֶ֣רֶץ מָ֑יִם עַל כֵּ֗ן קָרָ֛א שֵֽׁם הַמָּק֥וֹם הַה֖וּא פְּרָצִֽים
  21. 21And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.וַיַּעַזְבוּ שָׁ֖ם אֶת עֲצַבֵּיהֶ֑ם וַיִּשָּׂאֵ֥ם דָּוִ֖ד וַאֲנָשָֽׁיו
  22. 22And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.וַיֹּסִ֥פוּ ע֛וֹד פְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים לַֽעֲל֑וֹת וַיִּנָּֽטְשׁ֖וּ בְּעֵ֥מֶק רְפָאִֽים
  23. 23And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.וַיִּשְׁאַ֤ל דָּוִד֙ בַּֽיהוָ֔ה וַיֹּ֖אמֶר לֹ֣א תַעֲלֶ֑ה הָסֵב֙ אֶל אַ֣חֲרֵיהֶ֔ם וּבָ֥אתָ מִמּ֥וּל בְּכָאִֽים
  24. 24And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.וִ֠יהִי בשמעך כְּֽשָׁמְעֲךָ֞ אֶת ק֧וֹל צְעָדָ֛ה בְּרָאשֵׁ֥י הַבְּכָאִ֖ים אָ֣ז תֶּחֱרָ֑ץ כִּ֣י אָ֗ז יָצָ֤א יְהוָה֙ לְפָנֶ֔יךָ לְהַכּ֖וֹת בְּמַחֲנֵ֥ה פְלִשְׁתִּֽים
  25. 25And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.וַיַּ֤עַשׂ דָּוִד֙ כֵּ֔ן כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֖הוּ יְהוָ֑ה וַיַּךְ֙ אֶת פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים מִגֶּ֖בַע עַד בֹּאֲךָ֥ גָֽזֶר

YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
