历代志上 第 14 章

1泰尔王希兰将香柏木运到大卫那里，又差遣使者和石匠、木匠给大卫建造宫殿。

1Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.

2大卫就知道耶和华坚立他作以色列王，又为自己的民以色列，使他的国兴旺。

2And 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大卫在耶路撒冷又立后妃，又生儿女。

3And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.

4在耶路撒冷所生的众子是沙母亚、朔罢、拿单、所罗门、

4Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

5益辖、以利书亚、以法列、

5And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,

6挪迦、尼斐、雅非亚、

6And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

7以利沙玛、比利雅大、以利法列。

7And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.

8非利士人听见大卫受膏作以色列众人的王，非利士众人就上来寻索大卫。大卫听见，就出去迎敌。

8And 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非利士人来了，布散在利乏音谷。

9And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

10大卫求问神，说：「我可以上去攻打非利士人吗？你将他们交在我手里吗？」耶和华说：「你可以上去，我必将他们交在你手里。」

10And 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非利士人来到巴力·毗拉心，大卫在那里杀败他们。大卫说：「神借我的手冲破敌人，如同水冲去一般」；因此称那地方为巴力·毗拉心。

11So they came up to Baal-perazim; 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 Baal-perazim.

12非利士人将神像撇在那里，大卫吩咐人用火焚烧了。

12And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.

13非利士人又布散在利乏音谷。

13And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.

14大卫又求问神。神说：「不要一直地上去，要转到他们后头，从桑林对面攻打他们。

14Therefore 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你听见桑树梢上有脚步的声音，就要出战，因为神已经在你前头去攻打非利士人的军队。」

15And 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大卫就遵着神所吩咐的，攻打非利士人的军队，从基遍直到基色。

16David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.

17于是大卫的名传扬到列国，耶和华使列国都惧怕他。

17And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
