1 Chronicles 14

1 And Huram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.

泰尔王希兰将香柏木运到大卫那里，又差遣使者和石匠、木匠给大卫建造宫殿。

2 And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was exalted exceedingly, for His people Israel's sake.

大卫就知道耶和华坚立他作以色列王，又为自己的民以色列，使他的国兴旺。

3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David begot more sons and daughters.

大卫在耶路撒冷又立后妃，又生儿女。

4 And these are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon;

在耶路撒冷所生的众子是沙母亚、朔罢、拿单、所罗门、

5 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet;

益辖、以利书亚、以法列、

6 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia;

挪迦、尼斐、雅非亚、

7 and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

以利沙玛、比利雅大、以利法列。

8 And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went out to meet them.

非利士人听见大卫受膏作以色列众人的王，非利士众人就上来寻索大卫。大卫听见，就出去迎敌。

9 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.

非利士人来了，布散在利乏音谷。

10 And David inquired of God, saying: 'Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt Thou deliver them into my hand?' And the LORD said unto him: 'Go up; for I will deliver them into thy hand.'

大卫求问 神，说：“我可以上去攻打非利士人吗？你将他们交在我手里吗？”耶和华说：“你可以上去，我必将他们交在你手里。”

11 So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said: 'God hath broken mine enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters.' Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

非利士人来到巴力·毗拉心，大卫在那里杀败他们。大卫说：“神借我的手冲破敌人，如同水冲去一般”；因此称那地方为巴力·毗拉心。

12 And they left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.

非利士人将神像撇在那里，大卫吩咐人用火焚烧了。

13 And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.

非利士人又布散在利乏音谷。

14 And David inquired again of God; and God said unto him: 'Thou shalt not go up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees.

大卫又求问 神。 神说：“不要一直地上去，要转到他们后头，从桑林对面攻打他们。

15 And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God is gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.'

你听见桑树梢上有脚步的声音，就要出战，因为 神已经在你前头去攻打非利士人的军队。”

16 And David did as God commanded him; and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

大卫就遵着 神所吩咐的，攻打非利士人的军队，从基遍直到基色。

17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.

于是大卫的名传扬到列国，耶和华使列国都惧怕他。
