1 Chronicles 14

1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, stonemasons, and carpenters, to build a palace for him.

1 泰尔王希兰差遣使者带着香柏木、木匠和石匠去为大卫建造宫殿。

2 And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had highly exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.

2 那时，大卫知道耶和华已立他做以色列王，并因祂以色列子民的缘故而使他国家兴旺。

3 And David took more wives in Jerusalem and became the father of more sons and daughters.

3 大卫在耶路撒冷又娶了多位妻子，生了更多儿女。

4 These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

4 他在耶路撒冷生的孩子有沙姆亚、朔罢、拿单、所罗门、

5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,

5 益辖、以利书亚、以法列、

6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,

6 挪迦、尼斐、雅非亚、

7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

7 以利沙玛、比利雅大和以利法列。

8 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went out to face them.

8 非利士人听说大卫已被膏立为以色列王，就全军出动，搜寻大卫。大卫听说后，便出来迎敌。

9 Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim.

9 非利士人前来袭击利乏音谷。

10 So David inquired of God, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will deliver them into your hand.”

10 大卫求问上帝：“我可以去迎战非利士人吗？你会把他们交在我手里吗？”耶和华说：“去吧，我必把他们交在你手里。”

11 So David and his men went up to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, God has burst out against my enemies by my hand.” So they called that place Baal-perazim.

11 于是，大卫前往巴力·毗拉心，在那里打败了他们。他说：“上帝借我的手击溃敌人，如洪水冲垮堤岸。”因此那地方叫巴力·毗拉心 。

12 There the Philistines abandoned their gods, and David ordered that they be burned in the fire.

12 非利士人在那里丢弃了他们的神像，大卫命人把它们烧掉。

13 Once again the Philistines raided the valley.

13 非利士人又来袭击那山谷，

14 So David again inquired of God, who answered him, “Do not march up after them, but circle around them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.

14 大卫又求问上帝，上帝对他说：“你不要正面追击他们，要绕到他们后面，从桑林对面攻打他们。

15 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move out to battle, because this will mean that God has gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”

15 你一听见桑树梢上响起脚步声，就要进攻，因为那表示上帝已在你前头去攻击非利士的军队了。”

16 So David did as God had commanded him, and they struck down the army of the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.

16 大卫遵命而行，打败非利士军队，从基遍一直杀到基色。

17 And David’s fame went out into every land, and the LORD caused all nations to fear him.

17 于是，大卫名扬列国，耶和华使列国都惧怕他。
