< 1 Chronicles 14 >
1 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.
Then sent Hiram the King of Tyrus messengers to Dauid, and cedar trees, with masons and carpenters to builde him an house.
2 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.
Therefore Dauid knewe that the Lord had confirmed him King ouer Israel, and that his kingdome was lift vp on hie, because of his people Israel.
3 And David taketh again wives in Jerusalem, and David begetteth again sons and daughters;
Also Dauid tooke moe wiues at Ierusalem, and Dauid begate moe sonnes and daughters.
4 and these [are] the names of the children whom he hath in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
And these are the names of the children which he had at Ierusalem, Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Salomon,
5 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
6 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Iaphia,
7 and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
8 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.
But when the Philistims heard that Dauid was anointed King ouer Israel, all the Philistims came vp to seeke Dauid. And when Dauid heard, he went out against them.
9 And the Philistines have come, and rush into the valley of Rephaim,
And the Philistims came, and spred them selues in the valley of Rephaim.
10 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.'
Then Dauid asked counsel at God, saying, Shall I goe vp against the Philistims, and wilt thou deliuer them into mine hande? And the Lord saide vnto him, Goe vp: for I will deliuer them into thine hande.
11 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.
So they came vp to Baal-perazim, and Dauid smote them there: and Dauid said, God hath deuided mine enemies with mine hande, as waters are deuided: therefore they called the name of that place, Baal-perazim.
12 And they leave there their gods, and David speaketh, and they are burnt with fire.
And there they had left their gods: and Dauid said, Let them euen be burnt with fire.
13 And the Philistines add again, and rush into the valley,
Againe the Philistims came and spread them selues in the valley.
14 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;
And when Dauid asked againe counsell at God, God said to him, Thou shalt not goe vp after them, but turne away from them, that thou mayest come vpon them ouer against the mulberie trees.
15 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.'
And when thou hearest the noyse of one going in the toppes of the mulberie trees, then goe out to battel: for God is gone foorth before thee, to smite the hoste of the Philistims.
16 And David doth as God commanded him, and they smite the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even unto Gazer;
So Dauid did as God had commanded him: and they smote the hoste of the Philistims from Gibeon euen to Gezer.
17 and the name of David goeth out into all the lands, and Jehovah hath put his fear on all the nations.
And the fame of Dauid went out into all landes, and the Lord brought the feare of him vpon all nations.
