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. 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.

(B)Entonces David tomó más mujeres en Jerusalén, y engendró David más hijos e hijas. Y estos son los nombres de los hijos que le nacieron en Jerusalén: Samúa, Sobab, Natán, Salomón, Ibhar, Elisúa, Elpelet, Noga, Nefeg, Jafía, Elisama, Beeliada y Elifelet.

(C)Al oír los filisteos que David había sido ungido rey sobre todo Israel, todos los filisteos subieron en busca de David; y cuando David se enteró, salió contra ellos. Pues los filisteos habían venido y hecho una incursión en el valle de Refaim(D). 10 David consultó a Dios, diciendo: ¿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[a] 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[b]. 12 Y ellos 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[c] ellos; dales un rodeo por detrás[d], y sal a ellos frente a las balsameras. 15 Y[e] 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[f] hasta Gezer. 17 La fama de David se extendió por todas aquellas[g] tierras, y el Señor puso el terror de David[h] sobre todas las naciones(F).

14 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons, and carpenters, to build him a house. David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, for his people Israel’s sake.

David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David became the father of more sons and daughters. These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

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. Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim. 10 David inquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?”

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

11 So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like waters breaking out. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.[a] 12 They left their gods there; and David gave a command, and they were burned with fire.

13 The Philistines made another raid in the valley. 14 David inquired again of God; and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come on them opposite the mulberry trees. 15 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”

16 David did as God commanded him; and they attacked the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer. 17 The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought the fear of him on all nations.

David in Jerusalem

14 Now King Hiram of Tyre sent men with cedar trees to David. With them came men who worked with stone and wood. They came to build a house for him. David understood that the Lord had made him to be king of Israel. He knew that his nation was very honored because of God’s people Israel.

Then David took more wives at Jerusalem. He became the father of more sons and daughters. The names of the children born to him in Jerusalem are Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, Elishama, Beeliada and Eliphelet.

Battle with the Philistines

The Philistines heard that David had been chosen as king of all Israel. So they went up to look for him. David heard of it and went out against them. Now the Philistines had come to fight a surprise battle in the valley of Rephaim. 10 David asked God, “Should I go fight against the Philistines? Will You give them to me?” And the Lord said to him, “Go, for I will give them to you.” 11 So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David won the battle against them there. David said, “By my hand God has broken through those who hate me, like the breaking through of a flood.” So they gave that place the name Baal-perazim. 12 The Philistines left their gods there. So David had them burned with fire.

13 The Philistines fought another surprise battle in the valley. 14 So David asked God again what he should do. God said to him, “Do not go after them. Go around behind them, and come upon them in front of the balsam trees. 15 When you hear the sound of their steps in the tops of the balsam trees, then go out to battle. For God will have gone out before you to destroy the Philistine army.” 16 David did just as God had told him, and they destroyed the Philistine army from Gibeon as far as Gezer. 17 Then the name of David became known in all the lands. The Lord brought the fear of him upon all the nations.

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. 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.

In Jerusalem David took more wives and became the father of more sons(D) and daughters. These are the names of the children born to him there:(E) Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, Elishama, Beeliada[a] and Eliphelet.

David Defeats the Philistines(F)

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. 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.
