1 Chronicles 14

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 Huram king of Tzor sent envoys to David with cedar logs, and with them stonemasons and carpenters, to build him a palace.

2 David then knew that ADONAI had set him up as king over Isra'el; because, for the sake of his people Isra'el, his royal power had been greatly increased.

3 David took more concubines and wives in Yerushalayim, and David became father of more sons and daughters.

4 Here are the names of the children born to him in Yerushalayim: Shamua, Shovav, Natan, Shlomo,

5 Yivchar, Elishua, Elpelet,

6 Nogah, Nefeg, Yafia,

7 Elishama, Be'elyada and Elifelet.

8 When the P'lishtim heard that David had been anointed king over all Isra'el, all the P'lishtim went up in search of David. On hearing of it, David went to attack them.

9 Now the P'lishtim came and made a raid in the Refa'im Valley.

10 David consulted God, asking, "Should I attack the P'lishtim? Will you hand them over to me?"ADONAI answered David, "Attack; I will hand them over to you."

11 So they went up to Ba'al-P'ratzim, and David defeated them there. David said, "God has broken through my enemies by my power like a river breaking through its banks."This is why they called the place Ba'al-P'ratzim [Lord of breaking through].

12 The P'lishtim had left their gods there, so David gave an order, and they were burned up completely.

13 The P'lishtim came up again and raided the valley.

14 David consulted God again, but God told him, "Don't attack them! Turn away from them, and engage them opposite the balsam trees.

15 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move out, and attack; because God has gone out ahead of you to defeat the army of the P'lishtim."

16 David did as God had ordered him to do and pursued his attack on the army of the P'lishtim from Giv'on to Gezer.

17 So David's reputation spread to all countries, and ADONAI brought the fear of him on all nations.

1 And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent men to David with cedar-trees, and stoneworkers and woodworkers for the building of his house.

2 And David saw that the Lord had made his position safe as king over Israel, lifting up his kingdom on high because of his people Israel.

3 And while he was living in Jerusalem, David took more wives and became the father of more sons and daughters.

8 And when the Philistines had news that David had been made king over all Israel, they went up in search of David, and David, hearing of it, went out against them.

9 Now the Philistines had come, and had gone out in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.

10 And David, desiring directions from God, said, Am I to go up against the Philistines? and will you give them into my hands? And the Lord said, Go up; for I will give them into your hands.

11 So they went up to Baal-perazim, and David overcame them there, and David said, God has let the forces fighting against me be broken by my hand, as a wall is broken down by rushing water; so they gave that place the name of Baal-perazim.

12 And the Philistines did not take their images with them in their flight; and at David's orders they were burned with fire.

13 Then the Philistines again went out in every direction in the valley.

14 And David went for directions to God; and God said to him, You are not to go up after them; but, turning away from them, come face to face with them opposite the spice-trees.

15 And at the sound of footsteps in the tops of the trees, go out to the fight, for God has gone out before you to overcome the army of the Philistines.

16 And David did as the Lord had said; and they overcame the army of the Philistines, attacking them from Gibeon as far as Gezer.

17 And David's name was honoured in all lands; and the Lord put the fear of him on all nations.
