1 Chronicles 14

1 Also, Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, and cedar wood, and artisans of walls and of wood, so that they might build a house for him.

And he sent (Huram *Q(K)*) [the] king of Tyre messengers to David and wood of cedar and craftsmen of a wall and craftsmen of wood to build for him a house.

2 And David realized that the Lord had confirmed him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom had been lifted up over his people Israel.

And he knew David that he had appointed him Yahweh to king over Israel that [was] exalted upwards kingdom his for sake of people his Israel.

3 Also, David took other wives in Jerusalem. And he conceived sons and daughters.

And he took David again wives in Jerusalem and he fathered David again sons and daughters.

4 And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon,

And these [are] [the] names of the [ones] born who they belonged to him in Jerusalem Shammua and Shobab Nathan and Solomon.

5 Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,

And Ibhar and Elishua and Elpelet.

6 as well as Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

And Nogah and Nepheg and Japhia.

7 Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

And Elishama and Beeliada and Eliphelet.

8 Then, hearing that David had been anointed as king over all of Israel, all the Philistines ascended so that they might seek him. But when David had heard of it, he went out to meet them.

And they heard [the] Philistines that he had been anointed David to king over all Israel and they went up all [the] Philistines to seek David and he heard David and he went out before them.

9 Now the Philistines, arriving, spread out in the Valley of the Rephaim.

And [the] Philistines they had come and they had made a raid in [the] valley of [the] Rephaites.

10 And so David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I ascend to the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my hand?” And the Lord said to him, “Ascend, and I will deliver them into your hand.”

And he enquired David by God saying ¿ will I go up on ([the] Philistines *Q(k)*) and will you give? them in hand my and he said to him Yahweh go up and I will give them in hand your.

11 And when they had ascended to Baal-perazim, David struck them there, and he said: “God has divided my enemies by my hand, just as waters are divided.” And therefore the name of that place was called Baal-perazim.

And they went up at Baal Perazim and he struck down them there David and he said David he has burst out against God enemies my by hand my like a bursting out of water there-fore people called [the] name of the place that Baal Perazim.

12 And they left behind their gods in that place, and so David ordered them to be burned.

And they abandoned there gods their and he spoke David and they were burned with fire.

13 And then, at another time, the Philistines invaded, and they spread out in the valley.

And they repeated again [the] Philistines and they made a raid in the valley.

14 And again, David consulted God. And God said to him: “You shall not ascend after them. Draw away from them. And you shall come against them opposite the balsam trees.

And he enquired again David by God and he said to him God not you will go up after them go around from on them and you will come to them from [the] front of the balsam trees.

15 And when you hear a sound approaching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall go forth to war. For God has gone forth before you, so that he may strike down the army of the Philistines.”

So may it be when hearing you [the] sound of marching in [the] tops of the balsam trees then you will go out in battle for he has gone out God before you to strike down [the] camp of [the] Philistines.

16 Therefore, David did just as God had instructed him. And he struck down the army of the Philistines, from Gibeon as far as Gazera.

And he did David just as he had commanded him God and they struck down [the] camp of [the] Philistines from Gibeon and to Gezer.

17 And the name of David became well-known in all the regions. And the Lord placed the fear of him over all the nations.

And it went out [the] name of David in all the lands and Yahweh he put dread of him on all the nations.
