דברי הימים א 14

1 וַיִּשְׁלַח (חירם) [חוּרָם] מֶלֶךְ־צֹר מַלְאָכִים אֶל־דָּוִיד וַעֲצֵי אֲרָזִים וְחָרָשֵׁי קִיר וְחָרָשֵׁי עֵצִים לִבְנוֹת לוֹ בָּֽיִת׃

And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him a house.

2 וַיֵּדַע דָּוִיד כִּֽי־הֱכִינוֹ יְהֹוָה לְמֶלֶךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּֽי־נִשֵּׂאת לְמַעְלָה מַלְכוּתוֹ בַּעֲבוּר עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, because of his people Israel.

3 וַיִּקַּח דָּוִיד עוֹד נָשִׁים בִּירוּשָׁלָ͏ִם וַיּוֹלֶד דָּוִיד עוֹד בָּנִים וּבָנֽוֹת׃

And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begot more sons and daughters.

4 וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמוֹת הַיְלוּדִים אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ־לוֹ בִּירוּשָׁלָ͏ִם שַׁמּוּעַ וְשׁוֹבָב נָתָן וּשְׁלֹמֹֽה׃

And these are the names of the children which he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

5 וְיִבְחָר וֶאֱלִישׁוּעַ וְאֶלְפָּֽלֶט׃

and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,

6 וְנֹגַהּ וְנֶפֶג וְיָפִֽיעַ׃

and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

7 וֶאֱלִישָׁמָע וּבְעֶלְיָדָע וֶאֱלִיפָֽלֶט׃

and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

8 וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים כִּי־נִמְשַׁח דָּוִיד לְמֶלֶךְ עַל־כׇּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּעֲלוּ כׇל־פְּלִשְׁתִּים לְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת־דָּוִיד וַיִּשְׁמַע דָּוִיד וַיֵּצֵא לִפְנֵיהֶֽם׃

And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard [of it], and went out against them.

9 וּפְלִשְׁתִּים בָּאוּ וַֽיִּפְשְׁטוּ בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִֽים׃

And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

10 וַיִּשְׁאַל דָּוִיד בֵּאלֹהִים לֵאמֹר הַאֶֽעֱלֶה עַל־[פְּלִשְׁתִּים] (פלשתיים) וּנְתַתָּם בְּיָדִי וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ יְהֹוָה עֲלֵה וּנְתַתִּים בְּיָדֶֽךָ׃

And David inquired of God saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou give them into my hand? And Jehovah said to him, Go up; and I will give them into thy hand.

11 וַיַּעֲלוּ בְּבַֽעַל־פְּרָצִים וַיַּכֵּם שָׁם דָּוִיד וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד פָּרַץ הָאֱלֹהִים אֶת־אוֹיְבַי בְּיָדִי כְּפֶרֶץ מָיִם עַל־כֵּן קָרְאוּ שֵֽׁם־הַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא בַּעַל פְּרָצִֽים׃

And they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said, God has broken in upon mine enemies by my hand, as the breaking forth of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

12 וַיַּעַזְבוּ שָׁם אֶת־אֱלֹהֵיהֶם וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד וַיִּשָּׂרְפוּ בָּאֵֽשׁ׃

And they left their gods there; and David commanded, and they were burned with fire.

13 וַיֹּסִיפוּ עוֹד פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַֽיִּפְשְׁטוּ בָּעֵֽמֶק׃

And the Philistines yet again spread themselves in the valley.

14 וַיִּשְׁאַל עוֹד דָּוִיד בֵּאלֹהִים וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ הָאֱלֹהִים לֹא תַעֲלֶה אַחֲרֵיהֶם הָסֵב מֵֽעֲלֵיהֶם וּבָאתָ לָהֶם מִמּוּל הַבְּכָאִֽים׃

And David inquired again of God; and God said to him, Go not up after them; turn round them and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees.

15 וִיהִי כְּֽשׇׁמְעֲךָ אֶת־קוֹל הַצְּעָדָה בְּרָאשֵׁי הַבְּכָאִים אָז תֵּצֵא בַמִּלְחָמָה כִּֽי־יָצָא הָֽאֱלֹהִים לְפָנֶיךָ לְהַכּוֹת אֶת־מַחֲנֵה פְלִשְׁתִּֽים׃

And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will have gone forth before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.

16 וַיַּעַשׂ דָּוִיד כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּהוּ הָאֱלֹהִים וַיַּכּוּ אֶת־מַחֲנֵה פְלִשְׁתִּים מִגִּבְעוֹן וְעַד־גָּֽזְרָה׃

And David did as God commanded him; and they smote the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

17 וַיֵּצֵא שֵׁם־דָּוִיד בְּכׇל־הָאֲרָצוֹת וַיהֹוָה נָתַן אֶת־פַּחְדּוֹ עַל־כׇּל־הַגּוֹיִֽם׃

And the fame of David went out into all lands; and Jehovah brought the fear of him upon all the nations.
