1 Ljetopisa 14
1 Tirski kralj Hiram posla k Davidu izaslanstvo i cedrovih drva, zidara i tesara da mu grade dvor.
And Churam the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and trees of cedars, and masons and carpenters, to build him a house.
2 Tada David spozna da ga je Jahve potvrdio za kralja nad Izraelom i da je uzvisio njegovo kraljevstvo radi svojega izraelskog naroda.
And David felt conscious that the Lord had established him as king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, because of his people Israel.
3 David je uzeo još žena u Jeruzalemu i imao još sinova i kćeri.
And David took yet more wives at Jerusalem; and David begat more sons and daughters.
4 Evo imena djece koja mu se rodiše u Jeruzalemu: Šamua, Šobab, Natan, Salomon,
And these are the names of the children that he had in Jerusalem: Shammua', and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 Jibhar, Elišua, Elpalet,
And Yibchar, and Elishua', and Elpalet,
6 Nogah, Nefeg, Jafija,
And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Yaphia',
7 Elišama, Beeljada i Elifelet.
And Elishama', and Be'elyada', and Eliphalet.
8 Kad su Filistejci čuli da su Davida pomazali za kralja nad svim Izraelom, iziđoše svi da se dočepaju Davida. David, čuvši to, iziđe pred njih.
But when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went out against them.
9 Filistejci dođoše i raširiše se po Refaimskoj dolini.
And the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim.
10 Tada David upita Boga: “Mogu li napasti Filistejce? Hoćeš li ih predati meni u ruke?” Jahve mu odgovori: “Napadni, jer ću ih predati tebi u ruke!”
And David asked counsel of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up; and I will deliver them into thy hand.
11 Tada krenuše u Baal Perasim i David ih ondje pobi. David reče: “Bog je prodro među moje neprijatelje mojom rukom, kao što voda prodire.” Stoga se ono mjesto prozvalo Baal Perasim.
And they came up to Ba'al-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken down my enemies through my hand as a breach [is made] by water: therefore they called the name of that place Ba'al-perazim.
12 Ostavili su ondje svoje bogove; a David zapovjedi da ih spale.
And they left behind there their gods, and David gave the order, and they were burnt with fire.
13 Opet se Filistejci raširiše po onoj dolini.
And the Philistines [came] once again, and spread themselves out in the valley.
14 David opet upita Boga, a Bog mu odgovori: “Ne idi za njima nego ih opkoli i navali na njih s protivne strane Bekaima.
And David asked again counsel of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn about from them, and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees,
15 Pa kad začuješ topot koraka po bekaimskim vrhovima, onda izađi u boj, jer će tada ići Bog pred tobom da pobije filistejsku vojsku.”
And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of walking on the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will be gone forth before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.
16 David učini kako mu je zapovjedio Bog; i pobili su filistejsku vojsku od Gibeona do Gezera.
And David did as God had commanded him; and they smote the camp of the Philistines from Gib'on as far as Gezer.
17 Davidovo se ime pročulo po svim zemljama, a Jahve uli strah od njega svim narodima.
And the fame of David went out into all the lands; and the Lord laid the dread of him upon all the nations.
