1 Chronicles 14
Tree of Life Version
14 Now King Hiram of Tyre sent messengers to David, as well as cedar logs, stonemasons and carpenters, to build a palace for him. 2 Then David knew that Adonai had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted for the sake of His people
Israel.
3 David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David fathered more sons and daughters. 4 These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, 6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, 7 Elishama, Beeliada and Eliphelet.
David Breaks Through at Baal-perazim
8 When the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up in search of David, but David heard of it and went out before them. 9 Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim. 10 So David inquired of God, asking, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You give them over into my hand?”
Then Adonai said to him, “Go up! I will give them over into your hand.”
11 So they came up to Baal-perazim, where David defeated them. David said, “God burst out against my enemies by my hand, like waters burst out!” Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim[a]. 12 They abandoned their gods there, so David ordered and they were burned with fire.
13 But the Philistines again raided the valley. 14 So David again inquired of God, and God said to him, “Do not go up after them, but circle around behind them and come against them in front of the baca trees[b]. 15 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the baca trees, then go out to battle. For God has gone out before you to strike down the army of the Philistines.”
16 David did just as God commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army from Gibeon to Gezer.
17 So the fame of David spread throughout every land, and Adonai 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).

David’s House and Family(A)
14 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, along with cedar logs,(B) stonemasons and carpenters to build a palace for him. 2 And David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel and that his kingdom had been highly exalted(C) for the sake of his people Israel.
3 In Jerusalem David took more wives and became the father of more sons(D) and daughters. 4 These are the names of the children born to him there:(E) Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, 6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, 7 Elishama, Beeliada[a] and Eliphelet.
David Defeats the Philistines(F)
8 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel,(G) they went up in full force to search for him, but David heard about it and went out to meet them. 9 Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley(H) of Rephaim; 10 so David inquired of God: “Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hands?”
The Lord answered him, “Go, I will deliver them into your hands.”
11 So David and his men went up to Baal Perazim,(I) and there he defeated them. He said, “As waters break out, God has broken out against my enemies by my hand.” So that place was called Baal Perazim.[b] 12 The Philistines had abandoned their gods there, and David gave orders to burn(J) them in the fire.(K)
13 Once more the Philistines raided the valley;(L) 14 so David inquired of God again, and God answered him, “Do not go directly after them, but circle around them and attack them in front of the poplar trees. 15 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, move out to battle, because that will mean God has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army.” 16 So David did as God commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army, all the way from Gibeon(M) to Gezer.(N)
17 So David’s fame(O) spread throughout every land, and the Lord made all the nations fear(P) him.
