I Paralipomenon 14

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

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

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

And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, because of his people Israel.

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

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

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

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

5 Iebahar, et Elisua, et Eliphalet,

and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,

6 Noga quoque, et Napheg, et Iaphia,

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 Israel, ascenderunt omnes ut quaererent 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 [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 Philisthaeos, 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 give them into my hand? And Jehovah said to him, Go up; and I will give 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 aquae: et idcirco vocatum est nomen illius loci Baalpharasim.

And they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said, God has broken in upon mine enemies by my hand, as the breaking forth of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

12 Dereliqueruntque ibi deos suos, quos David iussit exuri.

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

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

And the Philistines yet again spread themselves 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, Go not up after them; turn round 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 marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will have gone forth before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.

16 Fecit ergo David sicut praeceperat 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 eius super omnes gentes.

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