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.
Raja Hiram dari negeri Tirus mengirim duta-dutanya kepada Daud, juga kayu cemara Libanon dan tukang-tukang kayu serta tukang batu untuk mendirikan istana.
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.
Karena itu Daud merasa yakin TUHAN sudah mengukuhkan dia sebagai raja Israel dan menguatkan kerajaannya untuk kepentingan umat TUHAN.
3 And David took more wives in Jerusalem and became the father of more sons and daughters.
Di Yerusalem Daud mengambil lagi beberapa istri, dan mendapat anak-anak lagi.
4 These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
Putra-putranya yang lahir di Yerusalem ialah: Syamua, Sobab, Natan, Salomo,
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
Yibhar, Elisua, Elpelet,
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
Nogah, Nefeg, Yafia,
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
Elisama, Beelyada dan Elifelet.
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.
Ketika orang Filistin mendengar bahwa Daud sudah diangkat menjadi raja seluruh Israel, mereka datang hendak menangkap dia. Karena itu Daud keluar untuk berperang dengan mereka.
9 Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim.
Sementara itu orang Filistin sudah tiba di Lembah Refaim dan merampoki lembah itu.
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.”
Mendengar itu Daud bertanya kepada Allah, "TUHAN, haruskah saya menyerang orang-orang Filistin itu? Apakah TUHAN akan memberikan kemenangan kepada saya?" "Ya, seranglah!" jawab TUHAN. "Aku akan memberikan kemenangan kepadamu!"
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.
Maka Daud dan pasukannya menyerang orang-orang Filistin itu di Baal-Perasim dan mengalahkan mereka. Berkatalah Daud, "Allah telah memakai aku untuk mendobrak pertahanan musuh seperti banjir merobohkan segalanya dalam seketika." Itu sebabnya tempat itu disebut Baal-Perasim.
12 There the Philistines abandoned their gods, and David ordered that they be burned in the fire.
Ketika pasukan Filistin lari, mereka tidak sempat membawa patung-patung berhala mereka. Daud memerintahkan supaya patung-patung itu dibakar.
13 Once again the Philistines raided the valley.
Tidak lama kemudian orang Filistin datang dan merampoki lagi Lembah Refaim.
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.
Sekali lagi Daud meminta petunjuk dari Allah, dan Allah menjawab, "Jangan menyerang mereka dari sini, tetapi berjalanlah memutar dan seranglah mereka dari seberang, dekat pohon-pohon murbei.
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.”
Kalau engkau mendengar bunyi seperti derap orang berbaris di puncak pohon-pohon itu, majulah, sebab Aku akan berjalan di depanmu untuk mengalahkan tentara Filistin."
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.
Daud melaksanakan apa yang diperintahkan Allah kepadanya. Ia dan pasukannya memukul mundur tentara Filistin mulai dari Gibeon sampai ke Gezer.
17 And David’s fame went out into every land, and the LORD caused all nations to fear him.
Maka termasyhurlah nama Daud di mana-mana, dan TUHAN membuat segala bangsa takut kepada Daud.
