1 Crónicas 14

1 E Hiram rey de Tiro envió embajadores a David, y madera de cedro, y albañiles, y carpinteros, que le edificasen una casa.

Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, carpenters, and masons. They built a house for him.

2 Y entendiendo David que Jehová le había confirmado por rey sobre Israel, y que había ensalzado su reino sobre su pueblo Israel,

David knew that Yahweh had established him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted on high for the sake of his people Israel.

3 Tomó aun David mujeres en Jerusalem, y engendró David aun hijos e hijas.

In Jerusalem, David took more wives, and he became the father of more sons and daughters.

4 Y estos son los nombres de los que le nacieron en Jerusalem: Samua, Sobad, Natán, Salomón,

These were the names of the children who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

5 Jebahar, Elisua, Elifalet,

Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,

6 Noga, Nafeg, Jafías,

Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,

7 Elisama, Baal-jada, y Elifalet.

Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

8 Y oyendo los Filisteos, que David era ungido por rey sobre todo Israel, subieron todos los Filisteos en busca de David. Y como David lo oyó, salió contra ellos.

Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, they all went out looking for him. But David heard about it and went out against them.

9 Y vinieron los Filisteos, y extendiéronse por el valle de Rafaim.

Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the Valley of Rephaim.

10 Y David consultó a Dios, diciendo: ¿Subiré contra los Filisteos? ¿Entregarlos has en mi mano? Y Jehová le dijo: Sube, que yo los entregaré en tus manos.

Then David asked for help from God. He said, “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you give victory over them?” Yahweh said to him, “Attack, for I will certainly give them to you.”

11 Entonces subieron en Baal-perazim, y allí los hirió David. Y David dijo: Dios rompió mis enemigos por mi mano como se rompen las aguas. Por esto llamaron el nombre de aquel lugar Baal-perazim.

So they came up to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He commented, “God has burst through my enemies by my hand like a bursting flood of water.” So the name of that place became Baal Perazim.

12 Y dejaron allí sus dioses, y David dijo, que los quemasen a fuego.

The Philistines abandoned their gods there, and David gave an order that they should be burned.

13 Y volviendo los Filisteos a extenderse por el valle,

Then the Philistines raided the valley yet again.

14 David volvió a consultar a Dios, y Dios le dijo: No subas tras ellos; sino rodéalos, para venir a ellos por delante de los morales.

So David asked for help from God again. God said to him, “You must not attack their front, but rather circle around behind them and come on them through the balsam woods.

15 Y como oyeres venir un estruendo por las copas de los morales, sal luego a la batalla: porque Dios saldrá delante de ti, y herirá el campo de los Filisteos.

When you hear the sound of marching in the wind blowing through the balsam treetops, then attack with force. Do this because God will have gone out before you to attack the army of the Philistines.”

16 Y David lo hizo como Dios le mandó; e hirieron el campo de los Filisteos, desde Gabaón hasta Gazera.

So David did as God had commanded him. He defeated the army of the Philistines from Gibeon all the way to Gezer.

17 Y el nombre de David fue divulgado por todas aquellas tierras; y puso Jehová el temor de David sobre todas las gentes.

Then David's fame went out into all lands, and Yahweh caused all nations to fear him.
