1 Cronache 14
1 OR Hiram, re di Tiro, mandò a Davide ambasciadori, e legname di cedro, e muratori, e legnaiuoli, per edificargli una casa.
And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar timbers, and masons, and carpenters, to build a house for him.
2 E Davide riconobbe che il Signore l'avea stabilito re sopra Israele; perciocchè il suo regno era grandemente innalzato, per amor d'Israele, suo popolo.
And David knew that the Lord [had] designed him to be king over Israel; because his kingdom was highly exalted, on account of his people Israel.
3 E Davide prese ancora delle mogli in Gerusalemme, e generò ancora figliuoli e figliuole.
And David took more wives in Jerusalem: and there were born to David more sons and daughters.
4 E questi [sono] i nomi de' [figliuoli] che gli nacquero in Gerusalemme: Sammua, e Sobab, e Natan, e Salomone,
And these [are] the names of those that were born, who were [born] to him in Jerusalem; Samaa, Sobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 ed Ibhar, ed Elisua, ed Elpelet,
and Baar, and Elisa, and Eliphaleth,
6 e Noga, e Nefeg, e Iafia,
and Nageth, and Naphath, and Japhie,
7 ed Elisama, e Beelsada, ed Elifelet.
and Elisamae, and Eliade, and Eliphala.
8 Ora, [quando] i Filistei ebbero inteso che Davide era stato unto re sopra tutto Israele, salirono tutti, per cercar Davide. E Davide, avendo [ciò] inteso, uscì loro incontro.
And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel: and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard [it], and went out to meet them.
9 Ed i Filistei vennero, e si sparsero per la valle de' Rafei.
And the Philistines came and assembled together in the giants' valley.
10 Allora Davide domandò Iddio, dicendo: Salirò io contro a' Filistei? e me li darai tu nelle mani? E il Signore gli disse: Sali, ed io te li darò nelle mani.
And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into thy hands.
11 Essi adunque salirono in Baal-perasim, e Davide li percosse quivi, e disse: Iddio ha rotti per mia mano i miei nemici; a guisa d'una inondazione d'acqua; perciò quel luogo fu chiamato Baal-perasim.
And he went up to Baal Pharasin, and David smote them there; and David said, God has broken through enemies by my hand like a breach of water: therefore he called the name of that place, the Breach of Pharasin.
12 Ed [i Filistei] lasciarono quivi i lor dii; e per comandamento di Davide, furono bruciati col fuoco.
And the Philistines left their gods there; and David gave orders to burn them with fire.
13 Or i Filistei si sparsero un'altra volta per quella valle.
And the Philistines once more assembled themselves in the giants' valley.
14 E Davide domandò di nuovo Iddio. E Iddio gli disse: Non salir dietro a loro; rivolgiti d'incontro a loro, e va' sopra loro dirincontro a' gelsi.
And David enquired of God again; and God said to him, Thou shalt not go after them; turn away from them, and thou shalt come upon them near the pear trees.
15 E quando tu udirai un calpestio sopra le cime de' gelsi, allora esci fuori in battaglia; perciocchè Iddio sarà uscito davanti a te, per percuotere il campo dei Filistei.
And it shall be, when thou shalt hear the sound of their tumult in the tops of the pear trees, then thou shalt go into the battle: for God has gone out before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.
16 E Davide fece come Iddio gli avea comandato; e il campo de' Filstei fu percosso da Gabaon fino a Ghezer.
And he did as God commanded him: and he smote the army of the Philistines from Gabaon to Gazera.
17 E la fama di Davide si sparse per tutti i paesi; e il Signore mise spavento di lui in tutte le genti.
And the name of David was [famous] in all the land; and the Lord put the terror of him on all the nations.
