1 Chronicles 14
1 One day Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent some messengers to David [to talk about making an agreement between their countries]. Then Hiram sent cedar logs, bricklayers, and carpenters to build a palace for David.
Hiram, rey de Tiro, envió mensajeros a David con cedros, albañiles y carpinteros para que le construyeran una casa.
2 [When that happened, ] David knew that Yahweh had truly caused him to be the king of Israel, and that he had caused his kingdom to be greatly respected. Yahweh did this because [he loved] his Israeli people.
David se dio cuenta de que Yahvé lo había establecido como rey de Israel, pues su reino era muy exaltado, por causa de su pueblo Israel.
3 David married more women in Jerusalem, and [those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters for him.
David tomó más esposas en Jerusalén, y fue padre de más hijos e hijas.
4 The names of the children that were born to him there in Jerusalem are Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
Estos son los nombres de los hijos que tuvo en Jerusalén Shammua, Shobab, Natán, Salomón,

8 When the army of Philistia heard that David has been appointed to be king of all of Israel, they came to capture him. But David heard that they were coming, so he [and his soldiers] marched out to fight against them.
Cuando los filisteos oyeron que David había sido ungido rey sobre todo Israel, todos los filisteos subieron a buscar a David; pero David lo oyó y salió contra ellos.
9 The army of Philistia had attacked the people in the Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and had robbed them.
Los filisteos habían llegado y hecho una incursión en el valle de Refaim.
10 David asked God, “Should [my men and] I go and attack the army of Philistia? [If we go, ] will you enable us to defeat [IDM] them?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, go, and I will enable you to defeat [IDM] them.”
David consultó a Dios, diciendo: “¿Subiré contra los filisteos? ¿Los entregarás en mi mano?” Yahvé le dijo: “Sube, porque los entregaré en tu mano”.
11 So David and his men went up to a town where the soldiers of Philistia were staying and defeated them. Then David said, “God has enabled me [and my soldiers] to overwhelm my enemies like [MET] a flood.” So they named that place {That place is called} ‘Baal-Perazim’ [which means ‘Yahweh breaks through’].
Así que subieron a Baal Perazim, y David los derrotó allí. David dijo: “Dios ha roto a mis enemigos por mi mano, como las aguas que brotan. Por eso llamaron a ese lugar Baal Perazim.
12 [As the soldiers of Philistia fled], they left their idols there. So David commanded his soldiers to burn those idols.
Dejaron allí sus dioses, y David dio una orden, y fueron quemados con fuego.
13 But soon the army of Philistia attacked the people in that valley again.
Los filisteos hicieron otra incursión en el valle.
14 So again David prayed to God [to ask him what he should do], and God replied, saying “Do not attack the army of Philistia from the front. Instead, go around them, and attack them [from the rear] in front of the balsam trees.
David volvió a consultar a Dios, y éste le dijo: “No subirás tras ellos. Aléjate de ellos, y acércate a ellos frente a las moreras.
15 When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [soldiers] marching, attack them. I, God, will have gone ahead of you to enable you to defeat the army of Philistia.”
Cuando oigas el ruido de la marcha en las copas de las moreras, sal a combatir, porque Dios ha salido delante de ti para atacar al ejército de los filisteos.”
16 So David did what God commanded him to do, and he and his army defeated the army of Philistia, all the way from Gibeon [city in the east] to Gezer [city in the west].
David hizo lo que Dios le ordenó, y atacaron al ejército de los filisteos desde Gabaón hasta Gezer.
17 So David became famous in all the nearby countries, and Yahweh caused [the leaders of] all the [nearby] nations to be afraid of him.
La fama de David se extendió por todas las tierras, y el Señor hizo que todas las naciones lo temieran.
