1 Chronicles 14
1 And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent men to David with cedar-trees, and stoneworkers and woodworkers for the building of his house.
Misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri nuncios ad David, et ligna cedrina, et artifices parietum, lignorumque: ut ædificarent ei domum.
2 And David saw that the Lord had made his position safe as king over Israel, lifting up his kingdom on high because of his people Israel.
Cognovitque David quod confirmasset eum Dominus in regem super Israel, et sublevatum esset regnum suum super populum eius Israel.
3 And while he was living in Jerusalem, David took more wives and became the father of more sons and daughters.
Accepit quoque David alias uxores in Ierusalem: genuitque filios, et filias.
4 These are the names of the children he had in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon
Et hæc nomina eorum, qui nati sunt ei in Ierusalem: Samua, et Sobab, Nathan, et Salomon,
5 And Ibhar and Elishua and Elpelet
Iebahar, et Elisua, et Eliphalet,
6 And Nogah and Nepheg and Japhia
Noga quoque, et Napheg, et Iaphia,
7 And Elishama and Beeliada and Eliphelet.
Elisama, et Baaliada, et Eliphalet.
8 And when the Philistines had news that David had been made king over all Israel, they went up in search of David, and David, hearing of it, went out against them.
Audientes autem Philisthiim eo quod unctus esset David regem super universum Israel, ascenderunt omnes ut quærerent eum: quod cum audisset David, egressus est obviam eis.
9 Now the Philistines had come, and had gone out in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.
Porro Philisthiim venientes, diffusi sunt in Valle Raphaim.
10 And David, desiring directions from God, said, Am I to go up against the Philistines? and will you give them into my hands? And the Lord said, Go up; for I will give them into your hands.
Consuluitque David Dominum, dicens: Si ascendam ad Philisthæos, et si trades eos in manu mea? Et dixit ei Dominus: Ascende, et tradam eos in manu tua.
11 So they went up to Baal-perazim, and David overcame them there, and David said, God has let the forces fighting against me be broken by my hand, as a wall is broken down by rushing water; so they gave that place the name of Baal-perazim.
Cumque illi ascendissent in Baalpharasim, percussit eos ibi David, et dixit: Divisit Deus inimicos meos per manum meam, sicut dividuntur aquæ: et idcirco vocatum est nomen illius loci Baalpharasim.
12 And the Philistines did not take their images with them in their flight; and at David's orders they were burned with fire.
Dereliqueruntque ibi deos suos, quos David iussit exuri.
13 Then the Philistines again went out in every direction in the valley.
Alia etiam vice Philisthiim irruerunt, et diffusi sunt in valle.
14 And David went for directions to God; and God said to him, You are not to go up after them; but, turning away from them, come face to face with them opposite the spice-trees.
Consuluitque rursum David Deum, et dixit ei Deus: Non ascendas post eos, recede ab eis, et venies contra illos ex adverso pyrorum.
15 And at the sound of footsteps in the tops of the trees, go out to the fight, for God has gone out before you to overcome the army of the Philistines.
Cumque audieris sonitum gradientis in cacumine pyrorum, tunc egredieris ad bellum. Egressus est enim Deus ante te, ut percutiat castra Philisthiim.
16 And David did as the Lord had said; and they overcame the army of the Philistines, attacking them from Gibeon as far as Gezer.
Fecit ergo David sicut præceperat ei Deus, et percussit castra Philisthinorum, de Gabaon usque Gazera.
17 And David's name was honoured in all lands; and the Lord put the fear of him on all nations.
Divulgatumque est nomen David in universis regionibus, et Dominus dedit pavorem eius super omnes gentes.
