I Paralipomenon 14

1 Misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri nuntios ad David, et ligna cedrina, et artifices parietum, lignorumque, ut ædificarent ei domum.

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

2 Cognovitque David quod confirmasset eum Dominus in regem super Israël, et sublevatum esset regnum suum super populum ejus Israël.

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

3 Accepit quoque David alias uxores in Jerusalem, genuitque filios et filias.

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

4 Et hæc nomina eorum, qui nati sunt ei in Jerusalem: Samua, et Sobab, Nathan, et Salomon,

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

5 Jebahar, et Elisua, et Eliphalet,

And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,

6 Noga quoque, et Napheg, et Japhia,

And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

7 Elisama, et Baaliada, et Eliphalet.

And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.

8 Audientes autem Philisthiim eo quod unctus esset David regem super universum Israël, ascenderunt omnes ut quærerent eum: quod cum audisset David, egressus est obviam eis.

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 Porro Philisthiim venientes, diffusi sunt in valle Raphaim.

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

10 Consuluitque David Dominum, dicens: Si ascendam ad Philisthæos, et si trades eos in manu mea? Et dixit ei Dominus: Ascende, et tradam eos in manu tua.

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

11 Cumque illi ascendissent in Baalpharasim, percussit eos ibi David, et dixit: Divisit Deus inimicos meos per manum meam, sicut dividuntur aquæ: et idcirco vocatum est nomen illius loci Baalpharasim.

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 Dereliqueruntque ibi deos suos, quos David jussit exuri.

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

13 Alia etiam vice Philisthiim irruerunt, et diffusi sunt in valle.

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

14 Consuluitque rursum David Deum, et dixit ei Deus: Non ascendas post eos: recede ab eis, et venies contra illos ex adverso pyrorum.

Therefore David inquired 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 Cumque audieris sonitum gradientis in cacumine pyrorum, tunc egredieris ad bellum: egressus est enim Deus ante te, ut percutiat castra Philisthiim.

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 host of the Philistines.

16 Fecit ergo David sicut præceperat ei Deus, et percussit castra Philisthinorum, de Gabaon usque Gazera.

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

17 Divulgatumque est nomen David in universis regionibus, et Dominus dedit pavorem ejus super omnes gentes.

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