1 Chronicles 14
1 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.
| וַיִּשְׁלַח חירם חוּרָם מֶֽלֶךְ־צֹר מַלְאָכִים אֶל־דָּוִיד וַעֲצֵי אֲרָזִים וְחָרָשֵׁי קִיר וְחָרָשֵׁי עֵצִים לִבְנוֹת לוֹ בָּֽיִת׃ |
2 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.
| וַיֵּדַע דָּוִיד כִּֽי־הֱכִינוֹ יְהוָה לְמֶלֶךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּֽי־נִשֵּׂאת לְמַעְלָה מַלְכוּתוֹ בַּעֲבוּר עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
3 And David takes wives again in Jerusalem, and David begets sons and daughters again;
| וַיִּקַּח דָּוִיד עוֹד נָשִׁים בִּירוּשָׁלָ͏ִם וַיּוֹלֶד דָּוִיד עוֹד בָּנִים וּבָנֽוֹת׃ |
4 and these [are] the names of the children whom he has in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
| וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמוֹת הַיְלוּדִים אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ־לוֹ בִּירוּשָׁלָ͏ִם שַׁמּוּעַ וְשׁוֹבָב נָתָן וּשְׁלֹמֹֽה׃ |
5 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
| וְיִבְחָר וֶאֱלִישׁוּעַ וְאֶלְפָּֽלֶט׃ |
6 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
| וְנֹגַהּ וְנֶפֶג וְיָפִֽיעַ׃ |
7 and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
| וֶאֱלִישָׁמָע וּבְעֶלְיָדָע וֶאֱלִיפָֽלֶט׃ |
8 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.
| וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים כִּי־נִמְשַׁח דָּוִיד לְמֶלֶךְ עַל־כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּעֲלוּ כָל־פְּלִשְׁתִּים לְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת־דָּוִיד וַיִּשְׁמַע דָּוִיד וַיֵּצֵא לִפְנֵיהֶֽם׃ |
9 And the Philistines have come, and rush into the Valley of Rephaim,
| וּפְלִשְׁתִּים בָּאוּ וַֽיִּפְשְׁטוּ בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִֽים׃ |
10 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.”
| וַיִּשְׁאַל דָּוִיד בֵּאלֹהִים לֵאמֹר הַאֶֽעֱלֶה עַל־פלשתיים פְּלִשְׁתִּים וּנְתַתָּם בְּיָדִי וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ יְהוָה עֲלֵה וּנְתַתִּים בְּיָדֶֽךָ׃ |
11 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.
| וַיַּעֲלוּ בְּבַֽעַל־פְּרָצִים וַיַּכֵּם שָׁם דָּוִיד וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד פָּרַץ הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֶת־אוֹיְבַי בְּיָדִי כְּפֶרֶץ מָיִם עַל־כֵּן קָֽרְאוּ שֵֽׁם־הַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא בַּעַל פְּרָצִֽים׃ |
12 And they leave their gods there, and David commands, and they are burned with fire.
| וַיַּעַזְבוּ־שָׁם אֶת־אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד וַיִּשָּׂרְפוּ בָּאֵֽשׁ׃ |
13 And the Philistines add again, and rush into the valley,
| וַיֹּסִיפוּ עוֹד פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַֽיִּפְשְׁטוּ בָּעֵֽמֶק׃ |
14 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;
| וַיִּשְׁאַל עוֹד דָּוִיד בֵּֽאלֹהִים וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ הָֽאֱלֹהִים לֹא תֽ͏ַעֲלֶה אֽ͏ַחֲרֵיהֶם הָסֵב מֵֽעֲלֵיהֶם וּבָאתָ לָהֶם מִמּוּל הַבְּכָאִֽים׃ |
15 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.”
| וִיהִי כְּֽשָׁמְעֲךָ אֶת־קוֹל הַצְּעָדָה בְּרָאשֵׁי הַבְּכָאִים אָז תֵּצֵא בַמִּלְחָמָה כִּֽי־יָצָא הָֽאֱלֹהִים לְפָנֶיךָ לְהַכּוֹת אֶת־מַחֲנֵה פְלִשְׁתִּֽים׃ |
16 And David does as God commanded him, and they strike the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer;
| וַיַּעַשׂ דָּוִיד כּֽ͏ַאֲשֶׁר צִוָּהוּ הֽ͏ָאֱלֹהִים וַיַּכּוּ אֶת־מַחֲנֵה פְלִשְׁתִּים מִגִּבְעוֹן וְעַד־גָּֽזְרָה׃ |
17 and the name of David goes out into all the lands, and YHWH has put his fear on all the nations.
| וַיֵּצֵא שֵׁם־דָּוִיד בְּכָל־הָֽאֲרָצוֹת וַֽיהוָה נָתַן אֶת־פַּחְדּוֹ עַל־כָּל־הַגּוֹיִֽם׃ |
