1 Chronicles 14
1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers unto David, and timber of cedars, with masons and artificers, to build for him a 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 So David perceived, that Yahweh, had confirmed him, as king over Israel, —that his kingship was exalted, for the sake 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, in Jerusalem, —and David begat 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 them who were born, whom 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 Elpelet;
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 Eliphelet.
and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
8 And, when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek to secure David, —and David, hearing, 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 Now, the Philistines, had come and spread themselves out, in the vale of Rephaim.
And the Philistines have come, and rush into the valley of Rephaim,
10 Then David asked of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Yahweh said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into thy 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 in Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and David said, God hath broken forth against mine enemies by my hand, like the breaking forth of waters, —For this cause, called they the name of that place, Baal-perazim.
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 they left their gods there, —and David gave the word, and they were burned up in fire.
And they leave there their gods, and David speaketh, and they are burnt with fire.
13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves out in the vale.
And the Philistines add again, and rush into the valley,
14 So David, asked again, of God, and God said to him, Thou shalt not go up after them, —get thee round, away from them, so shalt thou come in upon them, over against 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 thou hearest a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, then, shalt thou go forth into the battle, —for God will have gone forth before thee, to smite 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 So David did as God commanded him, —and they smote the host of the Philistines, from Gibeon even unto Gezer.
And David doth as God commanded him, and they smite the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even unto Gazer;
17 And the name of David went forth, throughout all the lands, —and, Yahweh, put the dread of him upon all the nations.
and the name of David goeth out into all the lands, and Jehovah hath put his fear on all the nations.
