1 Chronicles 14
1 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
Raja Hiram dari negeri Tirus mengirim duta-dutanya kepada Daud, juga kayu cemara Libanon dan tukang-tukang kayu serta tukang batu untuk mendirikan istana.
2 David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, for his people Israel’s sake.
Karena itu Daud merasa yakin TUHAN sudah mengukuhkan dia sebagai raja Israel dan menguatkan kerajaannya untuk kepentingan umat TUHAN.
3 David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David became the father of more sons and daughters.
Di Yerusalem Daud mengambil lagi beberapa istri, dan mendapat anak-anak lagi.
4 These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
Putra-putranya yang lahir di Yerusalem ialah: Syamua, Sobab, Natan, Salomo,
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
Yibhar, Elisua, Elpelet,
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
Nogah, Nefeg, Yafia,
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
Elisama, Beelyada dan Elifelet.
8 When the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went out against them.
Ketika orang Filistin mendengar bahwa Daud sudah diangkat menjadi raja seluruh Israel, mereka datang hendak menangkap dia. Karena itu Daud keluar untuk berperang dengan mereka.
9 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
Sementara itu orang Filistin sudah tiba di Lembah Refaim dan merampoki lembah itu.
10 David inquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” Yahweh said to him, “Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.”
Mendengar itu Daud bertanya kepada Allah, "TUHAN, haruskah saya menyerang orang-orang Filistin itu? Apakah TUHAN akan memberikan kemenangan kepada saya?" "Ya, seranglah!" jawab TUHAN. "Aku akan memberikan kemenangan kepadamu!"
11 So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like waters breaking out. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
Maka Daud dan pasukannya menyerang orang-orang Filistin itu di Baal-Perasim dan mengalahkan mereka. Berkatalah Daud, "Allah telah memakai aku untuk mendobrak pertahanan musuh seperti banjir merobohkan segalanya dalam seketika." Itu sebabnya tempat itu disebut Baal-Perasim.
12 They left their gods there; and David gave a command, and they were burned with fire.
Ketika pasukan Filistin lari, mereka tidak sempat membawa patung-patung berhala mereka. Daud memerintahkan supaya patung-patung itu dibakar.
13 The Philistines made another raid in the valley.
Tidak lama kemudian orang Filistin datang dan merampoki lagi Lembah Refaim.
14 David inquired again of God; and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come on them opposite the mulberry trees.
Sekali lagi Daud meminta petunjuk dari Allah, dan Allah menjawab, "Jangan menyerang mereka dari sini, tetapi berjalanlah memutar dan seranglah mereka dari seberang, dekat pohon-pohon murbei.
15 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”
Kalau engkau mendengar bunyi seperti derap orang berbaris di puncak pohon-pohon itu, majulah, sebab Aku akan berjalan di depanmu untuk mengalahkan tentara Filistin."
16 David did as God commanded him; and they attacked the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
Daud melaksanakan apa yang diperintahkan Allah kepadanya. Ia dan pasukannya memukul mundur tentara Filistin mulai dari Gibeon sampai ke Gezer.
17 The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought the fear of him on all nations.
Maka termasyhurlah nama Daud di mana-mana, dan TUHAN membuat segala bangsa takut kepada Daud.
