1 Chronicles 14
Modern English Version
David Established at Jerusalem(A)
14 Then Hiram the king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar wood, stonemasons, and carpenters to build a palace for him. 2 So David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel because his kingdom was highly exalted for the sake of His people Israel.
3 Now David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David became the father of more sons and daughters. 4 These are the names of the children who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, 6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, 7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
David Defeats the Philistines
8 Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek out David, but David heard and went out to them. 9 So the Philistines came and raided the Valley of Rephaim. 10 Then David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You give them into my hand?”
The Lord answered, “Go up against them, and I will give them into your hand.”
11 And they went up to Baal Perazim, and David struck them down there. Then David said, “God broke through my enemies by my hand as the breaking through of waters.” Therefore they named that place Baal Perazim. 12 They abandoned their gods there, and David said that they should be burned with fire.
13 Now the Philistines raided the valley once more. 14 And David again inquired of God, and God answered him: “Do not go up after them, but turn around behind them and come to them in front of the balsam trees. 15 Whenever you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, you will advance the battle, for God has gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.” 16 David did just as God commanded him, and they struck the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon as far as Gezer.
17 So the fame of David went out in all the lands, and the Lord put the dread of him on all the nations.
1 Chronicles 14
1599 Geneva Bible
14 1 Hiram sendeth wood and workmen to David. 4 The names of his children. 8, 14 By the counsel of God he goeth against the Philistines, and overcometh them. 15 God fighteth for him.
1 Then (A)sent Hiram the King of [a]Tyre messengers to David, and Cedar trees, with masons and carpenters to build him an house.
2 Therefore David knew that the Lord had confirmed him King over Israel, and that his kingdom was lift up on high, because of his [b]people Israel.
3 ¶ Also David took more wives at Jerusalem, and David begat more sons and daughters.
4 And these are the names of the children which he had at Jerusalem, Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and [c]Elpelet,
6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7 And Elishama, and [d]Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 But when the Philistines heard that David was anointed King over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David. And when David heard, he went out against them.
9 And the Philistines came, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
10 Then David asked counsel at God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up: for I will deliver them into thine hand.
11 So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David smote them there: and David said, God hath divided mine enemies with mine hand, as waters are divided: therefore they called the name of that place, [e]Baal Perazim.
12 And there they had left their gods: and David said, Let them even be burnt with fire.
13 Again the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley.
14 And when David asked again counsel at God, God said to him, Thou shalt not go up after them, but turn away from them, that thou mayest come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
15 And when thou hearest the noise of one going in the tops of the mulberry trees, then go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.
16 So David did as God had commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
17 And the fame of David went out into all lands: and the Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations.

推罗王助大卫建造宫殿(A)
14 推罗王希兰派使者来见大卫，给他送上香柏木、石匠和木匠，要为他建造宫殿。 2 那时，大卫知道耶和华已经坚立他作王统治以色列，又为了以色列民的缘故，使他的国高举。
大卫在耶路撒冷所生的儿子(B)
3 大卫在耶路撒冷又娶了多位妻子，并且生了很多儿女。 4 以下这些就是他在耶路撒冷所生的孩子的名字：沙母亚、朔罢、拿单、所罗门、 5 益辖、以利书亚、以法列、 6 挪迦、尼斐、雅非亚、 7 以利沙玛、以利雅大和以利法列。
大卫两次战胜非利士人(C)
8 非利士人听见了大卫受膏作王统治以色列人，就全体上来搜寻大卫；大卫听见了，就出来迎击他们。 9 非利士人来到，侵进了利乏音谷。 10 大卫求问 神说：“我可以上去攻打非利士人吗？你把他们交在我手里吗？”耶和华对他说：“你可以上去，我必把他们交在你的手里。” 11 非利士人上到巴力．毘拉心来，大卫在那里击败了他们。大卫说：“ 神借着我击溃我的敌人，好象水冲破堤岸一般。”因此他们给那地方起名叫巴力．毘拉心。 12 非利士人把他们的神像遗弃在那里，大卫吩咐人用火把它们烧了。
13 非利士人又再入侵那山谷。 14 大卫又求问 神， 神对他说：“不可在后面追赶他们，要绕过他们，从桑林对面攻打他们。 15 你一听见桑林树梢上有脚步的声音，就要出战，因为 神已经在你前面出去击杀非利士人的军队了。” 16 于是大卫照着 神所吩咐他的去作，他们攻击非利士人的军队，从基遍起，一直攻打到基色。 17 因此大卫的名声传遍各地，耶和华使万国都惧怕他。
