I Paralipomenon 14

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

And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build for him a 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 Jehovah had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was exalted on high for his people Israel's sake.

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

And David took more wives at Jerusalem, and David begot more sons and daughters.

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

And these are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

5 Jebahar, et Elisua, et Eliphalet,

and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,

6 Noga quoque, et Napheg, et Japhia,

and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

7 Elisama, et Baaliada, et Eliphalet.

and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

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.

Now the Philistines had come and made a raid 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 will thou deliver them into my hand? And Jehovah said to him, Go up, for 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.

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

12 Dereliqueruntque ibi deos suos, quos David jussit exuri.

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

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

And the Philistines yet again made a raid 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 inquired again of God. And God said to him, Thou shall not go up after them. Turn away 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 hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shall go out to 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 David did as God commanded him, and they smote the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

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 Jehovah brought the fear of him upon all nations.
