1 Chronicles 14

1 And Churam the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and trees of cedars, and masons and carpenters, to build him a house.

And Huram king of Tyre sends messengers to David, and cedar-wood, and craftsmen of walls, and craftsmen of wood, to build a house for him.

2 And David felt conscious that the Lord had established him as king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, because of his people Israel.

And David knows that YHWH has 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 yet more wives at Jerusalem; and David begat more sons and daughters.

And David takes wives again in Jerusalem, and David begets sons and daughters again;

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

and these [are] the names of the children whom he has in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

5 And Yibchar, and Elishua', and Elpalet,

and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,

6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Yaphia',

and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

7 And Elishama', and Be'elyada', and Eliphalet.

and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.

8 But when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went out against them.

And the Philistines hear that David has been anointed for king over all Israel, and all the Philistines go up to seek David, and David hears, and goes out before them.

9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim.

And the Philistines have come, and rush into the Valley of Rephaim,

10 And David asked counsel 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; and I will deliver them into thy hand.

and David asks of God, saying, “Do I go up against the Philistines—and have You given them into my hand?” And YHWH says to him, “Go up, and I have given them into your hand.”

11 And they came up to Ba'al-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken down my enemies through my hand as a breach [is made] by water: therefore they called the name of that place Ba'al-perazim.

And they go up into Ba‘al-Perazim, and David strikes them there, and David says, “God has broken up my enemies by my hand, like the breaking up of waters”; therefore they have called the name of that place Ba‘al-Perazim.

12 And they left behind there their gods, and David gave the order, and they were burnt with fire.

And they leave their gods there, and David commands, and they are burned with fire.

13 And the Philistines [came] once again, and spread themselves out in the valley.

And the Philistines add again, and rush into the valley,

14 And David asked again counsel of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn about from them, and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees,

and David asks again of God, and God says to him, “Do not go up after them, turn around from them, and you have come to them from the front [[or in front]] of the mulberries;

15 And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of walking on the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will be gone forth before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.

and it comes to pass, when you hear the sound of the stepping at the heads of the mulberries, then you go out into battle, for God has gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”

16 And David did as God had commanded him; and they smote the camp of the Philistines from Gib'on as far as Gezer.

And David does as God commanded him, and they strike the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer;

17 And the fame of David went out into all the lands; and the Lord laid the dread of him upon all the nations.

and the name of David goes out into all the lands, and YHWH has put his fear on all the nations.
