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.

New King James Version
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. 2 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.
3 Then David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David begot more sons and daughters. 4 And (D)these are the names of his children whom he had in Jerusalem: [a]Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 5 Ibhar, [b]Elishua, [c]Elpelet, 6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, 7 Elishama, [d]Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
The Philistines Defeated(E)
8 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. 9 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.

Jirán envía embajadores a David(A)
14 El rey Jirán de Tiro envió embajadores a David, y también madera de cedro, albañiles y carpinteros, para que le construyeran una casa. 2 Con esto David entendió que el Señor lo había confirmado como rey de Israel, y que había exaltado su reino sobre su pueblo Israel.
Hijos de David nacidos en Jerusalén(B)
3 David tomó otras mujeres en Jerusalén, y tuvo más hijos e hijas. 4 Éstos son los nombres de los hijos que le nacieron en Jerusalén: Samúa, Sobab, Natán, Salomón, 5 Ibejar, Elisúa, Elpelet, 6 Noga, Nefeg, Jafía, 7 Elisama, Beeliada y Elifelet.
David derrota a los filisteos(C)
8 Cuando los filisteos supieron que David había sido ungido rey de todo Israel, fueron en su busca. Pero al saberlo David, salió a enfrentarse con ellos. 9 Al llegar, los filisteos se extendieron por el valle de Refayin. 10 Entonces David consultó a Dios, y le dijo:
«¿Debo atacar a los filisteos? ¿Los entregarás en mi mano?»
Y el Señor le dijo:
«Atácalos, que yo los entregaré en tus manos.»
11 Los filisteos llegaron a Baal Perasín, y allí David los derrotó. Después de eso, David dijo:
«Con mi mano Dios partió en dos a mis enemigos, como si abriera en dos las aguas.»
Por eso el nombre de aquel lugar fue llamado «Baal Perasín».[a] 12 Allí los filisteos dejaron a sus dioses, y David ordenó que los quemaran.
13 Pero los filisteos volvieron a extenderse por el valle, 14 así que David volvió a consultar a Dios, y Dios le dijo:
«No los ataques de frente, sino rodéalos, para que los ataques frente a las balsameras. 15 Así, cuando oigas un estruendo por las copas de las balsameras, lánzate a la batalla, porque yo saldré delante de ti y heriré al ejército de los filisteos.»
16 David hizo lo que Dios le ordenó, y derrotaron al ejército de los filisteos desde Gabaón hasta Guézer. 17 Y la fama de David se extendió por todas aquellas tierras, y el Señor infundió el temor ante David en todas las naciones.
