I Paralipomenon 14

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

And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar timbers, and masons, and carpenters, to build a house for him.

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

And David knew that the Lord [had] designed him to be king over Israel; because his kingdom was highly exalted, on account of his people Israel.

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

And David took more wives in Jerusalem: and there were born to David more sons and daughters.

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

And these [are] the names of those that were born, who were [born] to him in Jerusalem; Samaa, Sobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

5 Iebahar, et Elisua, et Eliphalet,

and Baar, and Elisa, and Eliphaleth,

6 Noga quoque, et Napheg, et Iaphia,

and Nageth, and Naphath, and Japhie,

7 Elisama, et Baaliada, et Eliphalet.

and Elisamae, and Eliade, and Eliphala.

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

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

9 Porro Philisthiim venientes, diffusi sunt in Valle Raphaim.

And the Philistines came and assembled together in the giants' valley.

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 enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into thy hands.

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.

And he went up to Baal Pharasin, and David smote them there; and David said, God has broken through enemies by my hand like a breach of water: therefore he called the name of that place, the Breach of Pharasin.

12 Dereliqueruntque ibi deos suos, quos David iussit exuri.

And the Philistines left their gods there; and David gave orders to burn them with fire.

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

And the Philistines once more assembled themselves in the giants' valley.

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

And David enquired of God again; and God said to him, Thou shalt not go after them; turn away from them, and thou shalt come upon them near the pear 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 the sound of their tumult in the tops of the pear trees, then thou shalt go into the battle: for God has gone out before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.

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

And he did as God commanded him: and he smote the army of the Philistines from Gabaon to Gazera.

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

And the name of David was [famous] in all the land; and the Lord put the terror of him on all the nations.
