I Paralipomenon 14

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

And Churam the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and trees of cedars, and masons and carpenters, to build him a house.

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

And David felt conscious that the Lord had established him as king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, because of his people Israel.

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

And David took yet more wives at Jerusalem; and David begat 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 the children that he had in Jerusalem: Shammua', and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

5 Iebahar, et Elisua, et Eliphalet,

And Yibchar, and Elishua', and Elpalet,

6 Noga quoque, et Napheg, et Iaphia,

And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Yaphia',

7 Elisama, et Baaliada, et Eliphalet.

And Elishama', and Be'elyada', and Eliphalet.

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.

But when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, all the Philistines came 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 out 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 asked counsel of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up; and I will deliver them into thy 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.

And they came up to Ba'al-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken down my enemies through my hand as a breach [is made] by water: therefore they called the name of that place Ba'al-perazim.

12 Dereliqueruntque ibi deos suos, quos David iussit exuri.

And they left behind there their gods, and David gave the order, and they were burnt with fire.

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

And the Philistines [came] once again, and spread themselves out 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.

And David asked again counsel of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn about from them, and come upon them opposite 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 hearest the sound of walking on the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will be gone forth before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.

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

And David did as God had commanded him; and they smote the camp of the Philistines from Gib'on as far as Gezer.

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

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