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。 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)

大卫在耶路撒冷又娶了多位妻子,并且生了很多儿女。 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、 益辖、以利书亚、以法列、 挪迦、尼斐、雅非亚、 以利沙玛、以利雅大和以利法列。

大卫两次战胜非利士人(C)

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。 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。

David Established at Jerusalem(A)

14 Now (B)Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, with masons and carpenters, to build him a house. So David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel, for his kingdom was (C)highly exalted for the sake of His people Israel.

Then David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David begot more sons and daughters. And (D)these are the names of his children whom he had in Jerusalem: [a]Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, Ibhar, [b]Elishua, [c]Elpelet, Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, Elishama, [d]Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

The Philistines Defeated(E)

Now when the Philistines heard that (F)David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it and went out against them. Then the Philistines went and made a raid (G)on the Valley of [e]Rephaim. 10 And David (H)inquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?”

The Lord said to him, “Go up, for I will deliver them into your hand.”

11 So they went up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. Then David said, “God has broken through my enemies by my hand like a breakthrough of water.” Therefore they called the name of that place [f]Baal Perazim. 12 And when they left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.

13 (I)Then the Philistines once again made a raid on the valley. 14 Therefore David inquired again of God, and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them; circle around them, (J)and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees. 15 And it shall be, when you hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall go out to battle, for God has gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.” 16 So David did as God commanded him, and they drove back the army of the Philistines from [g]Gibeon as far as Gezer. 17 Then (K)the fame of David went out into all lands, and the Lord (L)brought the fear of him upon all nations.
