1 Chronicles 14
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
David Established at Jerusalem
14 King Hiram of Tyre sent messengers to David, along with cedar logs, and masons and carpenters to build a house for him. 2 David then perceived that the Lord had established him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom was highly exalted for the sake of his people Israel.
3 David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David became the father of more sons and daughters. 4 These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, and Nathan; Solomon, 5 Ibhar, Elishua, and Elpelet; 6 Nogah, Nepheg, and Japhia; 7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
Defeat of the Philistines
8 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up in search of David; and David heard of it and went out against them. 9 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim. 10 David inquired of God, ‘Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you give them into my hand?’ The Lord said to him, ‘Go up, and I will give them into your hand.’ 11 So he went up to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there. David said, ‘God has burst out[a] against my enemies by my hand, like a bursting flood.’ Therefore that place is called Baal-perazim.[b] 12 They abandoned their gods there, and at David’s command they were burned.
13 Once again the Philistines made a raid in the valley. 14 When David again inquired of God, God said to him, ‘You shall not go up after them; go around and come on them opposite the balsam trees. 15 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike down the army of the Philistines.’ 16 David did as God had commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army from Gibeon to Gezer. 17 The fame of David went out into all lands, and the Lord brought the fear of him on all nations.

King James Version
14 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.
2 And David perceived that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel.
3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.
4 Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
8 And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard of it, and went out against them.
9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
10 And David enquired of 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 Baalperazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim.
12 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.
14 Therefore David enquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
15 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.
16 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations.

David y su familia
14 (A)Hiram, rey de Tiro, envió mensajeros a David, con madera de cedro, albañiles y carpinteros, para edificarle una casa. 2 Y comprendió David que el Señor lo había confirmado por rey sobre Israel, y que su reino había sido exaltado en gran manera por amor a su pueblo Israel.
3 (B)En Jerusalén David tomó más mujeres, y tuvo David más hijos e hijas. 4 Estos son los nombres de los hijos que le nacieron en Jerusalén: Samúa, Sobab, Natán, Salomón, 5 Ibhar, Elisúa, Elpelet, 6 Noga, Nefeg, Jafía, 7 Elisama, Beeliada y Elifelet.
8 (C)Al oír los filisteos que David había sido ungido rey sobre todo Israel, todos los filisteos subieron en busca de David. Pero cuando David se enteró, salió contra ellos. 9 Pues los filisteos habían venido y hecho una incursión en el valle de Refaim(D). 10 David consultó a Dios: «¿Subiré contra los filisteos? ¿Los entregarás en mi mano?». Y el Señor le dijo: «Sube, porque los entregaré en tu mano». 11 Entonces subieron a Baal Perazim, y David los derrotó allí. Y dijo David: «Dios ha abierto brecha entre mis enemigos por mi mano, como brecha de aguas». Por eso llamó aquel lugar Baal Perazim[a]. 12 Los filisteos abandonaron allí sus dioses, y David ordenó que fueran quemados.
13 Después los filisteos hicieron de nuevo otra incursión en el valle(E). 14 David volvió a consultar a Dios, y Dios le dijo: «No subas contra ellos; dales un rodeo por detrás, y sal a ellos frente a las balsameras. 15 Y cuando oigas el sonido de marcha en las copas de las balsameras, entonces saldrás a la batalla, porque Dios ya habrá salido delante de ti para herir al ejército de los filisteos». 16 David hizo tal como Dios le había mandado, e hirieron al ejército de los filisteos desde Gabaón hasta Gezer. 17 La fama de David se extendió por todas aquellas tierras, y el Señor puso el terror de David sobre todas las naciones(F).
