1 Chronicles 14
1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, stonemasons, and carpenters, to build a palace for him.
And Iram, the kyng of Tyre, sente messageris to Dauid, and `he sente trees of cedre, and werk men of wallis and of trees, that thei schulden bilde to hym an hows.
2 And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had highly exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
And Dauid knewe that the Lord hadde confermyd hym in to kyng on Israel; and that his rewme was reisid on his puple Israel.
3 And David took more wives in Jerusalem and became the father of more sons and daughters.
And Dauid took othere wyues in Jerusalem, and gendride sones and douytris.
4 These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
And these ben the names of hem that weren borun to hym in Jerusalem; Sammu, and Sobab, Nathan, and Salomon,
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
Jeber, and Elisu, and Heli, and Eliphalech,
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
and Noga, and Napheg, and Japhie,
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
and Elisama, and Baliada, and Eliphelech.
8 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went out to face them.
Forsothe the Filisteis herden that Dauid was anoyntid `in to kyng on al Israel, and alle stieden to seke Dauid. And whanne Dauid hadde herd this thing, he yede out ayens hem.
9 Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim.
Forsothe Filisteis camen, and weren spred abrood in the valey of Raphaym;
10 So David inquired of God, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will deliver them into your hand.”
and Dauid counselide the Lord, and seide, Whether Y schal stie to Filisteis? and whether thou schalt bitake hem in to myn hondis? And the Lord seide to hym, Stie thou, and Y schal bitake hem in thin hond.
11 So David and his men went up to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, God has burst out against my enemies by my hand.” So they called that place Baal-perazim.
And whanne thei hadden styed in to Baal Pharasym, Dauid smoot hem there, and seide, God hath departid myn enemyes bi myn hond, as watris ben departid. And therfor the name of that place was clepid Baal Pharasym; and thei leften there her goddis,
12 There the Philistines abandoned their gods, and David ordered that they be burned in the fire.
which Dauid comaundide to be brent.
13 Once again the Philistines raided the valley.
Forsothe another tyme Filisteis felden in, and weren spred abrood in the valei;
14 So David again inquired of God, who answered him, “Do not march up after them, but circle around them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.
and eft Dauid counseilide the Lord, and the Lord seide to hym, Thou schalt not stie aftir hem; go awei fro hem, and thou schalt come ayens hem euen ayens the pere trees.
15 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move out to battle, because this will mean that God has marched out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”
And whanne thou schalt here the sowun of a goere in the cop of the pere trees, thanne thou schalt go out to batel; for the Lord is go out byfor thee, to smyte the castels of Filisteis.
16 So David did as God had commanded him, and they struck down the army of the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
Therfor Dauid dide as God comaundide to hym, and he smoot the castels of Filisteis fro Gabaon `til to Gazara.
17 And David’s fame went out into every land, and the LORD caused all nations to fear him.
And the name of Dauid was puplischid in alle cuntreis, and the Lord yaf his drede on alle folkis.
