1 Chronicles 14
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 14
David in Jerusalem. 1 Now Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, along with cedar wood, masons, and carpenters to build him a palace. 2 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.
3 In Jerusalem David married more wives, and he had more sons and daughters. 4 These were the names of the children who were born to him there: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, 6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, 7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
David’s Victory over the Philistines. 8 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. 9 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 Chronicles 14
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.

Давид утврђује своју владавину
14 А Хирам, тирски цар, је послао Давиду гласнике и кедровог дрвета, зидаре и дрводеље, да му саграде дворац.
2 Тада је Давид увидео да га је Господ поставио за цара над Израиљем и да је високо уздигао његово царство ради свог народа Израиља.
3 Давид је узео себи још жена у Јерусалиму, које су родиле Давиду још синова и ћерки. 4 Ово су имена оних који су му се родили у Јерусалиму: Самуја, Совав, Натан, Соломон, 5 Јевар, Елисуја, Елфалет, 6 Нога, Нефег, Јафија, 7 Елисама, Велијада и Елифелет.
Давид поражава Филистејце
8 Кад су Филистејци чули да је Давид помазан за цара над Израиљем, сви су кренули горе да траже Давида. Али Давид је то чуо, па је изашао пред њих. 9 Филистејци дођу и изврше напад у рефаимској долини.
10 Тада Давид запита Бога: „Да ли да нападнем Филистејце? Хоћеш ли их предати у моје руке?“ Господ одговори Давиду:
„Нападни их, јер ћу их предати у твоје руке.“
11 Давид дође у Вал-Фаресим и порази их тамо. Тада је рекао: „Бог је продро кроз моје непријатеље мојом руком, као што продире вода.“ Зато се то место прозвало Вал-Фаресим.
12 Филистејци су тамо оставили своје богове, а Давид је заповедио да их спале.
13 Али Филистејци поново изврше напад у долини. 14 Давид упита Бога, и он му одговори: „Не иди горе, него иди около, иза њих и навали на њих код балзамових стабала. 15 Кад зачујеш звук корака с врха балзамових стабала, крени у битку, јер ће Бог изаћи пред тобом да удари на филистејски табор.“
16 Давид учини како му је Бог заповедио, и потуче филистејски табор од Гаваона до Гезера.
17 Тако се Давидово име прочуло по свој земљи, а Господ је унео страх међу све народе.
