דברי הימים א 14

1 וַיִּשְׁלַח חירם חוּרָם מֶֽלֶךְ־צֹר מַלְאָכִים אֶל־דָּוִיד וַעֲצֵי אֲרָזִים וְחָרָשֵׁי קִיר וְחָרָשֵׁי עֵצִים לִבְנוֹת לוֹ בָּֽיִת׃

And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.

2 וַיֵּדַע דָּוִיד כִּֽי־הֱכִינוֹ יְהוָה 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 exalted on high, for his people Israel’s sake.

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

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

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

And these are the names of the children whom 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־כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּעֲלוּ כָל־פְּלִשְׁתִּים לְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת־דָּוִיד וַיִּשְׁמַע דָּוִיד וַיֵּצֵא 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 וּפְלִשְׁתִּים בָּאוּ וַֽיִּפְשְׁטוּ בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִֽים׃

Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.

10 וַיִּשְׁאַל דָּוִיד בֵּאלֹהִים לֵאמֹר הַאֶֽעֱלֶה עַל־פלשתיים פְּלִשְׁתִּים וּנְתַתָּם בְּיָדִי וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ יְהוָה עֲלֵה וּנְתַתִּים בְּיָדֶֽךָ׃

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

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

So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said, God hath broken mine enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

12 וַיַּעַזְבוּ־שָׁם אֶת־אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד וַיִּשָּׂרְפוּ בָּאֵֽשׁ׃

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

13 וַיֹּסִיפוּ עוֹד פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַֽיִּפְשְׁטוּ בָּעֵֽמֶק׃

And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.

14 וַיִּשְׁאַל עוֹד דָּוִיד בֵּֽאלֹהִים וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ הָֽאֱלֹהִים לֹא תֽ͏ַעֲלֶה אֽ͏ַחֲרֵיהֶם הָסֵב מֵֽעֲלֵיהֶם וּבָאתָ לָהֶם מִמּוּל הַבְּכָאִֽים׃

And David inquired again of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees.

15 וִיהִי כְּֽשָׁמְעֲךָ 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 is gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.

16 וַיַּעַשׂ דָּוִיד כּֽ͏ַאֲשֶׁר צִוָּהוּ הֽ͏ָאֱלֹהִים וַיַּכּוּ אֶת־מַחֲנֵה פְלִשְׁתִּים מִגִּבְעוֹן וְעַד־גָּֽזְרָה׃

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

17 וַיֵּצֵא שֵׁם־דָּוִיד בְּכָל־הָֽאֲרָצוֹת וַֽיהוָה נָתַן אֶת־פַּחְדּוֹ עַל־כָּל־הַגּוֹיִֽם׃

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