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 Huram king of Tyre sendeth messengers unto David, and cedar-wood, and artificers of walls, and artificers of wood, to build to him a house.
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 David knoweth that Jehovah hath established him for king over Israel, because of the lifting up on high of his kingdom, for the sake of His people Israel.
3 And David took more wives in Jerusalem and became the father of more sons and daughters.
And David taketh again wives in Jerusalem, and David begetteth again sons and daughters;
4 These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
and these [are] the names of the children whom he hath in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
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.
And the Philistines hear that David hath been anointed for king over all Israel, and all the Philistines go up to seek David, and David heareth, and goeth out before them.
9 Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim.
And the Philistines have come, and rush into the valley of Rephaim,
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 David asketh of God, saying, 'Do I go up against the Philistines — and hast Thou given them into my hand?' And Jehovah saith to him, 'Go up, and I have given them into thy hand.'
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 they go up into Baal-Perazim, and David smiteth them there, and David saith, 'God hath broken up mine enemies by my hand, like the breaking up of waters;' therefore they have called the name of that place Baal-Perazim.
12 There the Philistines abandoned their gods, and David ordered that they be burned in the fire.
And they leave there their gods, and David speaketh, and they are burnt with fire.
13 Once again the Philistines raided the valley.
And the Philistines add again, and rush into the valley,
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 David asketh again of God, and God saith to him, 'Do not go up after them, turn round from them, and thou hast come to them from over-against the mulberries;
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 it cometh to pass, when thou hearest the sound of the stepping at the heads of the mulberries, then thou goest out into battle, for God hath gone out before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.'
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.
And David doth as God commanded him, and they smite the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even unto Gazer;
17 And David’s fame went out into every land, and the LORD caused all nations to fear him.
and the name of David goeth out into all the lands, and Jehovah hath put his fear on all the nations.
