1 Chronicles 14
1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with stone workers and carpenters, to build him an house.
And Huram king of Tyre sendeth messengers unto David, and cedar-wood, and artificers of walls, and artificers of wood, to build to him a house.
2 And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel.
And David knoweth that Jehovah hath established him for king over Israel, because of the lifting up on high of his kingdom, for the sake of His people Israel.
3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David brings forth more sons and daughters.
And David taketh again wives in Jerusalem, and David begetteth again sons and daughters;
4 Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
and these [are] the names of the children whom he hath in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
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 against them.
And the Philistines hear that David hath been anointed for king over all Israel, and all the Philistines go up to seek David, and David heareth, and goeth out before them.
9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
And the Philistines have come, and rush into the valley of Rephaim,
10 And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And will you deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.
and David asketh of God, saying, 'Do I go up against the Philistines — and hast Thou given them into my hand?' And Jehovah saith to him, 'Go up, and I have given them into thy hand.'
11 So they came up to Baalperazim; and David stroke them there. Then David said, God has broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking out of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim.
And they go up into Baal-Perazim, and David smiteth them there, and David saith, 'God hath broken up mine enemies by my hand, like the breaking up of waters;' therefore they have called the name of that place Baal-Perazim.
12 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
And they leave there their gods, and David speaketh, and they are burnt with fire.
13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.
And the Philistines add again, and rush into the valley,
14 Therefore David enquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them opposite to the mulberry trees.
and David asketh again of God, and God saith to him, 'Do not go up after them, turn round from them, and thou hast come to them from over-against the mulberries;
15 And it shall be, when you shall hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then you shall go out to battle: for God is gone forth before you to strike the host of the Philistines.
and it cometh to pass, when thou hearest the sound of the stepping at the heads of the mulberries, then thou goest out into battle, for God hath gone out before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.'
16 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they stroke the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
And David doth as God commanded him, and they smite the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even unto Gazer;
17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
and the name of David goeth out into all the lands, and Jehovah hath put his fear on all the nations.
