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.
Hiram, rey de Tiro, envió mensajeros a David con cedros, albañiles y carpinteros para que le construyeran una casa.
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.
David se dio cuenta de que Yahvé lo había establecido como rey de Israel, pues su reino era muy exaltado, por causa de su pueblo Israel.
3 Also, David took other wives in Jerusalem. And he conceived sons and daughters.
David tomó más esposas en Jerusalén, y fue padre de más hijos e hijas.
4 And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon,
Estos son los nombres de los hijos que tuvo en Jerusalén Shammua, Shobab, Natán, Salomón,
5 Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 as well as Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
Elishama, Beeliada y 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.
Cuando los filisteos oyeron que David había sido ungido rey sobre todo Israel, todos los filisteos subieron a buscar a David; pero David lo oyó y salió contra ellos.
9 Now the Philistines, arriving, spread out in the Valley of the Rephaim.
Los filisteos habían llegado y hecho una incursión en el valle de Refaim.
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.”
David consultó a Dios, diciendo: “¿Subiré contra los filisteos? ¿Los entregarás en mi mano?” Yahvé le dijo: “Sube, porque los entregaré en tu mano”.
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.
Así que subieron a Baal Perazim, y David los derrotó allí. David dijo: “Dios ha roto a mis enemigos por mi mano, como las aguas que brotan. Por eso llamaron a ese lugar Baal Perazim.
12 And they left behind their gods in that place, and so David ordered them to be burned.
Dejaron allí sus dioses, y David dio una orden, y fueron quemados con fuego.
13 And then, at another time, the Philistines invaded, and they spread out in the valley.
Los filisteos hicieron otra incursión en el valle.
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.
David volvió a consultar a Dios, y éste le dijo: “No subirás tras ellos. Aléjate de ellos, y acércate a ellos frente a las moreras.
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.”
Cuando oigas el ruido de la marcha en las copas de las moreras, sal a combatir, porque Dios ha salido delante de ti para atacar al ejército de los filisteos.”
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.
David hizo lo que Dios le ordenó, y atacaron al ejército de los filisteos desde Gabaón hasta 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.
La fama de David se extendió por todas las tierras, y el Señor hizo que todas las naciones lo temieran.
