推羅王助大衛建造宮殿(A)

14 推羅王希蘭派使者來見大衛,給他送上香柏木、石匠和木匠,要為他建造宮殿。 那時,大衛知道耶和華已經堅立他作王統治以色列,又為了以色列民的緣故,使他的國高舉。

大衛在耶路撒冷所生的兒子(B)

大衛在耶路撒冷又娶了多位妻子,並且生了很多兒女。 以下這些就是他在耶路撒冷所生的孩子的名字:沙母亞、朔罷、拿單、所羅門、 益轄、以利書亞、以法列、 挪迦、尼斐、雅非亞、 以利沙瑪、以利雅大和以利法列。

大衛兩次戰勝非利士人(C)

非利士人聽見了大衛受膏作王統治以色列人,就全體上來搜尋大衛;大衛聽見了,就出來迎擊他們。 非利士人來到,侵進了利乏音谷。 10 大衛求問 神說:“我可以上去攻打非利士人嗎?你把他們交在我手裡嗎?”耶和華對他說:“你可以上去,我必把他們交在你的手裡。” 11 非利士人上到巴力.毘拉心來,大衛在那裡擊敗了他們。大衛說:“ 神藉著我擊潰我的敵人,好像水沖破堤岸一般。”因此他們給那地方起名叫巴力.毘拉心。 12 非利士人把他們的神像遺棄在那裡,大衛吩咐人用火把它們燒了。

13 非利士人又再入侵那山谷。 14 大衛又求問 神, 神對他說:“不可在後面追趕他們,要繞過他們,從桑林對面攻打他們。 15 你一聽見桑林樹梢上有腳步的聲音,就要出戰,因為 神已經在你前面出去擊殺非利士人的軍隊了。” 16 於是大衛照著 神所吩咐他的去作,他們攻擊非利士人的軍隊,從基遍起,一直攻打到基色。 17 因此大衛的名聲傳遍各地,耶和華使萬國都懼怕他。

Chapter 14

David in Jerusalem. Now Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, along with cedar wood, masons, and carpenters to build him a palace. David knew that the Lord had confirmed him as king over Israel and that his kingdom had been highly exalted for the sake of his people Israel.

In Jerusalem David married more wives, and he had more sons and daughters. These were the names of the children who were born to him there: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

David’s Victory over the Philistines. When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all of Israel, all of the Philistines went up to seek out David. David heard about it and went out to meet them. The Philistines arrived and spread themselves out in the Valley of Rephaim.

10 David inquired of God, saying, “Shall I go out against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hands?” The Lord answered them, “Go up, I will deliver them into your hands.”[a]

11 They went up to Baal-perazim, and there David defeated them. David said, “God has broken my enemies by my hand, just as when waters break forth.” This is why that place is called Baal-perazim. 12 They had left their gods there, and David gave an order that they be burned in the fire.

13 Still another time the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the valley. 14 David inquired of God again, and God said to him, “Do not attack them directly, but circle around them and attack them from behind the balsam trees. 15 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, go forth into battle, for God has gone forth before you to strike down the Philistines.”

16 David did as God had commanded him, and they struck down the army of the Philistines from Gibeon all the way to Gezer. 17 David’s fame spread throughout every land, and the Lord caused all of the nations to fear him.

  1. 1 Chronicles 14:10 The Chronicler’s unabashed esteem for David comes through as he points out the wisdom of David, who always consulted the Lord before going into battle.

14 Now Churam Melech Tzor sent malachim to Dovid, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him a bais (palace).

And Dovid perceived that Hashem had established him Melech over Yisroel, for his malchut was lifted up on high, for the sake of His people Yisroel.

And Dovid took more nashim at Yerushalayim; and Dovid fathered more banim and banot.

Now these are the shmot of his banim which were born in Yerushalayim: Shammua, and Shovav, Natan, and Sh’lomo,

And Yivchar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,

And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Yaphia,

And Elishama, and Be’elyada, and Eliphalet.

And when the Pelishtim (Philistines) heard that Dovid nimshach (was anointed) Melech over kol Yisroel, all the Pelishtim went up to search for Dovid. Dovid heard of it, and went out against them.

And the Pelishtim (Philistines) came and spread out in the Emek Rephaim.

10 And Dovid inquired of Elohim, saying, Shall I go up against the Pelishtim? And wilt Thou deliver them into mine yad? And Hashem said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine yad.

11 So they came up to Ba’al-Peratzim; and Dovid defeated them there. Then Dovid said, Elohim hath broken out upon mine oyevim by mine yad like the peretz mayim (breaking forth of waters); therefore they called the shem of that makom Ba’al-Peratzim.

12 And when they [the Pelishtim] had abandoned their elohim there, Dovid gave a commandment, and they were burned with eish.

13 And the Pelishtim (Philistines) yet again spread out in the emek (valley).

14 Therefore Dovid inquired again of Elohim, and Elohim said unto him, Go not up after them; circle around upon them, and come upon them opposite the mulberry trees.

15 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to milchamah; for HaElohim is gone forth before thee to strike the machaneh Pelishtim.

16 Dovid therefore did as Elohim commanded him, and they struck down the machaneh Pelishtim from Giveon even to Gezer.

17 And the shem (fame) of Dovid went out into all lands; and Hashem brought the pachad (terror) of him upon kol HaGoyim.
