1 דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים 14

1 וַ֠יִּשְׁלַח חִירָם (חוּרָ֨ם) מֶֽלֶךְ־צֹ֥ר מַלְאָכִים֮ אֶל־דָּוִיד֒ וַעֲצֵ֣י אֲרָזִ֔ים וְחָרָשֵׁ֣י קִ֔יר וְחָרָשֵׁ֖י עֵצִ֑ים לִבְנֹ֥ות לֹ֖ו בָּֽיִת׃

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

2 וַיֵּ֣דַע דָּוִ֔יד כִּֽי־הֱכִינֹ֧ו יְהוָ֛ה לְמֶ֖לֶךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כִּֽי־נִשֵּׂ֤את לְמַ֙עְלָה֙ מַלְכוּתֹ֔ו בַּעֲב֖וּר עַמֹּ֥ו יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ פ

And David perceived that Yhwh had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel.

3 וַיִּקַּ֨ח דָּוִ֥יד עֹ֛וד נָשִׁ֖ים בִּירוּשָׁלָ֑͏ִם וַיֹּ֧ולֶד דָּוִ֛יד עֹ֖וד בָּנִ֥ים וּבָנֹֽות׃

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

4 וְאֵ֙לֶּה֙ שְׁמֹ֣ות הַיְלוּדִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר הָיוּ־לֹ֖ו בִּירוּשָׁלָ֑͏ִם שַׁמּ֣וּעַ וְשֹׁובָ֔ב נָתָ֖ן וּשְׁלֹמֹֽה׃

Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

5 וְיִבְחָ֥ר וֶאֱלִישׁ֖וּעַ וְאֶלְפָּֽלֶט׃

And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,

6 וְנֹ֥גַהּ וְנֶ֖פֶג וְיָפִֽיעַ׃

And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

7 וֶאֱלִישָׁמָ֥ע וּבְעֶלְיָדָ֖ע וֶאֱלִיפָֽלֶט׃

And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.

8 וַיִּשְׁמְע֣וּ פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים כִּי־נִמְשַׁ֨ח דָּוִ֤יד לְמֶ֙לֶךְ֙ עַל־כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיַּעֲל֥וּ כָל־פְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים לְבַקֵּ֣שׁ אֶת־דָּוִ֑יד וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע דָּוִ֔יד וַיֵּצֵ֖א לִפְנֵיהֶֽם׃

And 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.

9 וּפְלִשְׁתִּ֖ים בָּ֑אוּ וַֽיִּפְשְׁט֖וּ בְּעֵ֥מֶק רְפָאִֽים׃

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

10 וַיִּשְׁאַ֨ל דָּוִ֤יד בֵּאלֹהִים֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר הַאֶֽעֱלֶה֙ עַל־פְּלִשְׁתִּיִּים (פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים) וּנְתַתָּ֖ם בְּיָדִ֑י וַיֹּ֨אמֶר לֹ֤ו יְהוָה֙ עֲלֵ֔ה וּנְתַתִּ֖ים בְּיָדֶֽךָ׃

And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And Yhwh said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.

11 וַיַּעֲל֥וּ בְּבַֽעַל־פְּרָצִים֮ וַיַּכֵּ֣ם שָׁ֣ם דָּוִיד֒ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִ֔יד פָּרַ֨ץ הָֽאֱלֹהִ֧ים אֶת־אֹויְבַ֛י בְּיָדִ֖י כְּפֶ֣רֶץ מָ֑יִם עַל־כֵּ֗ן קָֽרְא֛וּ שֵֽׁם־הַמָּקֹ֥ום הַה֖וּא בַּ֥עַל פְּרָצִֽים׃

So they came up to Baal–perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baal–perazim.

12 וַיַּעַזְבוּ־שָׁ֖ם אֶת־אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶ֑ם וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִ֔יד וַיִּשָּׂרְפ֖וּ בָּאֵֽשׁ׃ פ

And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.

13 וַיֹּסִ֤יפוּ עֹוד֙ פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים וַֽיִּפְשְׁט֖וּ בָּעֵֽמֶק׃

And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.

14 וַיִּשְׁאַ֨ל עֹ֤וד דָּוִיד֙ בֵּֽאלֹהִ֔ים וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לֹו֙ הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים לֹ֥א תֽ͏ַעֲלֶ֖ה אֽ͏ַחֲרֵיהֶ֑ם הָסֵב֙ מֵֽעֲלֵיהֶ֔ם וּבָ֥אתָ לָהֶ֖ם מִמּ֥וּל הַבְּכָאִֽים׃

Therefore David enquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.

15 וִ֠יהִי כְּֽשָׁמְעֲךָ֞ אֶת־קֹ֤ול הַצְּעָדָה֙ בְּרָאשֵׁ֣י הַבְּכָאִ֔ים אָ֖ז תֵּצֵ֣א בַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה כִּֽי־יָצָ֤א הָֽאֱלֹהִים֙ לְפָנֶ֔יךָ לְהַכֹּ֖ות אֶת־מַחֲנֵ֥ה פְלִשְׁתִּֽים׃

And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.

16 וַיַּ֣עַשׂ דָּוִ֔יד כּֽ͏ַאֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֖הוּ הֽ͏ָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וַיַּכּוּ֙ אֶת־מַחֲנֵ֣ה פְלִשְׁתִּ֔ים מִגִּבְעֹ֖ון וְעַד־גָּֽזְרָה׃

David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.

17 וַיֵּצֵ֥א שֵׁם־דָּוִ֖יד בְּכָל־הָֽאֲרָצֹ֑ות וַֽיהוָ֛ה נָתַ֥ן אֶת־פַּחְדֹּ֖ו עַל־כָּל־הַגֹּויִֽם׃

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