1 Chronicles 14
1 Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, carpenters, and masons. They built a house for him.
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 David knew that Yahweh had established him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted on high for the sake 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 In Jerusalem, David took more wives, and he became the father of more sons and daughters.
And David takes wives again in Jerusalem, and David begets sons and daughters again;
4 These were the names of the children who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
and these [are] the names of the children whom he has in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
8 Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, they all went out looking for him. But David heard about 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 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the Valley of Rephaim.
And the Philistines have come, and rush into the Valley of Rephaim,
10 Then David asked for help from God. He said, “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you give victory over them?” Yahweh said to him, “Attack, for I will certainly give them to you.”
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 So they came up to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He commented, “God has burst through my enemies by my hand like a bursting flood of water.” So the name of that place became Baal 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 The Philistines abandoned their gods there, and David gave an order that they should be burned.
And they leave their gods there, and David commands, and they are burned with fire.
13 Then the Philistines raided the valley yet again.
And the Philistines add again, and rush into the valley,
14 So David asked for help from God again. God said to him, “You must not attack their front, but rather circle around behind them and come on them through the balsam woods.
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 When you hear the sound of marching in the wind blowing through the balsam treetops, then attack with force. Do this because God will have gone out before you to attack the army 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 So David did as God had commanded him. He defeated the army of the Philistines from Gibeon all the way to Gezer.
And David does as God commanded him, and they strike the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer;
17 Then David's fame went out into all lands, and Yahweh caused all nations to fear him.
and the name of David goes out into all the lands, and YHWH has put his fear on all the nations.
