1 Chronicles 14
1 Then Hiram, king of Tyre, sent messengers to David along with cedar timber, stonemasons, and carpenters to build him a palace.
And Iram, the kyng of Tyre, sente messageris to Dauid, and `he sente trees of cedre, and werk men of wallis and of trees, that thei schulden bilde to hym an hows.
2 In this way David realized that the Lord had placed him on the throne as king of Israel and had blessed by supporting his kingdom for the sake of the Lord's people Israel.
And Dauid knewe that the Lord hadde confermyd hym in to kyng on Israel; and that his rewme was reisid on his puple Israel.
3 David married more wives in Jerusalem, and had more sons and daughters.
And Dauid took othere wyues in Jerusalem, and gendride sones and douytris.
4 This is a list of the names of the children he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
And these ben the names of hem that weren borun to hym in Jerusalem; Sammu, and Sobab, Nathan, and Salomon,
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
Jeber, and Elisu, and Heli, and Eliphalech,
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
and Noga, and Napheg, and Japhie,
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
and Elisama, and Baliada, and Eliphelech.
8 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all of Israel, they gathered their whole army to go after him. But David heard they were coming and went out to confront them.
Forsothe the Filisteis herden that Dauid was anoyntid `in to kyng on al Israel, and alle stieden to seke Dauid. And whanne Dauid hadde herd this thing, he yede out ayens hem.
9 The Philistines arrived and raided the valley of Rephaim.
Forsothe Filisteis camen, and weren spred abrood in the valey of Raphaym;
10 David consulted God, asking “Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you make me victorious over them?” “Go ahead,” the Lord told him, “I will make you victorious over them.”
and Dauid counselide the Lord, and seide, Whether Y schal stie to Filisteis? and whether thou schalt bitake hem in to myn hondis? And the Lord seide to hym, Stie thou, and Y schal bitake hem in thin hond.
11 So David attacked and defeated them there at Baal-perazim. “God used me to defeat my enemies like a torrent of water that bursts out,” he declared. That's why the place was named Baal-perazim.
And whanne thei hadden styed in to Baal Pharasym, Dauid smoot hem there, and seide, God hath departid myn enemyes bi myn hond, as watris ben departid. And therfor the name of that place was clepid Baal Pharasym; and thei leften there her goddis,
12 The Philistines had left their gods behind, so David gave orders that they should be burned.
which Dauid comaundide to be brent.
13 However, the Philistines returned and made another raid on the valley.
Forsothe another tyme Filisteis felden in, and weren spred abrood in the valei;
14 David consulted God again. “Don't make a frontal attack,” God told him. “Instead go around behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.
and eft Dauid counseilide the Lord, and the Lord seide to hym, Thou schalt not stie aftir hem; go awei fro hem, and thou schalt come ayens hem euen ayens the pere trees.
15 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, go and attack for the Lord has gone before you to strike down the Philistine army.”
And whanne thou schalt here the sowun of a goere in the cop of the pere trees, thanne thou schalt go out to batel; for the Lord is go out byfor thee, to smyte the castels of Filisteis.
16 So David did what God told him, striking down the Philistine army all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
Therfor Dauid dide as God comaundide to hym, and he smoot the castels of Filisteis fro Gabaon `til to Gazara.
17 As a result David's reputation was spread everywhere, and the Lord made all the nations afraid of David.
And the name of Dauid was puplischid in alle cuntreis, and the Lord yaf his drede on alle folkis.
