1 Chronicles 14

1 Then sent Hiram the King of Tyrus messengers to Dauid, and cedar trees, with masons and carpenters to builde him an house.

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

2 Therefore Dauid knewe that the Lord had confirmed him King ouer Israel, and that his kingdome was lift vp on hie, because of his people Israel.

So David perceived, that Yahweh, had confirmed him, as king over Israel, —that his kingship was exalted, for the sake of his people Israel.

3 Also Dauid tooke moe wiues at Ierusalem, and Dauid begate moe sonnes and daughters.

And David took more wives, in Jerusalem, —and David begat more sons and daughters.

4 And these are the names of the children which he had at Ierusalem, Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Salomon,

Now, these, are the names of them who were born, whom he had in Jerusalem, —Shammua and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon;

5 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,

and Ibhar and Elishua, and Elpelet;

6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Iaphia,

and Nogah and Nepheg, and Japhia;

7 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.

and Elishama and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

8 But when the Philistims heard that Dauid was anointed King ouer Israel, all the Philistims came vp to seeke Dauid. And when Dauid heard, he went out against them.

And, when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek to secure David, —and David, hearing, went out against them.

9 And the Philistims came, and spred them selues in the valley of Rephaim.

Now, the Philistines, had come and spread themselves out, in the vale of Rephaim.

10 Then Dauid asked counsel at God, saying, Shall I goe vp against the Philistims, and wilt thou deliuer them into mine hande? And the Lord saide vnto him, Goe vp: for I will deliuer them into thine hande.

Then David asked of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Yahweh said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into thy hand.

11 So they came vp to Baal-perazim, and Dauid smote them there: and Dauid said, God hath deuided mine enemies with mine hande, as waters are deuided: therefore they called the name of that place, Baal-perazim.

So they came up in Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and David said, God hath broken forth against mine enemies by my hand, like the breaking forth of waters, —For this cause, called they the name of that place, Baal-perazim.

12 And there they had left their gods: and Dauid said, Let them euen be burnt with fire.

And they left their gods there, —and David gave the word, and they were burned up in fire.

13 Againe the Philistims came and spread them selues in the valley.

And the Philistines yet again spread themselves out in the vale.

14 And when Dauid asked againe counsell at God, God said to him, Thou shalt not goe vp after them, but turne away from them, that thou mayest come vpon them ouer against the mulberie trees.

So David, asked again, of God, and God said to him, Thou shalt not go up after them, —get thee round, away from them, so shalt thou come in upon them, over against the mulberry-trees;

15 And when thou hearest the noyse of one going in the toppes of the mulberie trees, then goe out to battel: for God is gone foorth before thee, to smite the hoste of the Philistims.

and it shall be, when thou hearest a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, then, shalt thou go forth into the battle, —for God will have gone forth before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.

16 So Dauid did as God had commanded him: and they smote the hoste of the Philistims from Gibeon euen to Gezer.

So David did as God commanded him, —and they smote the host of the Philistines, from Gibeon even unto Gezer.

17 And the fame of Dauid went out into all landes, and the Lord brought the feare of him vpon all nations.

And the name of David went forth, throughout all the lands, —and, Yahweh, put the dread of him upon all the nations.
