I Paralipomenon 14

1 misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri nuntios ad David et ligna cedrina et artifices parietum lignorumque ut aedificarent 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 eo quod confirmasset eum Dominus in regem super Israhel et sublevatum esset regnum suum super populum eius Israhel

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 Hierusalem genuitque filios et filias

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

4 et haec nomina eorum qui nati sunt ei in Hierusalem Sammu 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 Iebar et Helisu et Eliphaleth

and Baar, and Elisa, and Eliphaleth,

6 Noga quoque et Napheg et Iaphiae

and Nageth, and Naphath, and Japhie,

7 Elisama et Baliada et Eliphaleth

and Elisamae, and Eliade, and Eliphala.

8 audientes autem Philisthim eo quod unctus esset David in regem super universum Israhel 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 [it], and went out to meet them.

9 porro Philisthim venientes diffusi sunt in valle Raphaim

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

10 consuluitque David Deum dicens si ascendam ad Philistheos 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 sicuti dividuntur aquae et idcirco vocatum est nomen loci illius 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 Philisthim inruerunt 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 pirorum

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 pirorum tunc egredieris ad bellum egressus est enim Deus ante te ut percutiat castra Philisthim

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 praeceperat 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.
