Primo libro delle Cronache 14

DIODATI	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 OR Hiram, re di Tiro, mandò a Davide ambasciatori, e legname di cedro, e muratori, e legnaiuoli, per edificargli una casa.	1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.
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.	2 And 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 E Davide prese ancora delle mogli in Gerusalemme, e generò ancora figliuoli e figliuole.	3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.
4 E questi sono i nomi de’ figliuoli che gli nacquero in Gerusalemme: Sammua, e Sobab, e Natan, e Salomone,	4 Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 ed Ibhar, ed Elisua, ed Elpelet,	5 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
6 e Noga, e Nefeg, e Iafia,	6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7 ed Elisama, e Beelsada, ed Elifelet	7 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
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.	8 And 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 Ed i Filistei vennero, e si sparsero per la valle de’ Rafei.	9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
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.	10 And David inquired 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 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.	11 So 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 Ed i Filistei lasciarono quivi i lor dii; e per comandamento di Davide, furono bruciati col fuoco.	12 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
13 Or i Filistei si sparsero un’altra volta per quella valle.	13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the 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.	14 Therefore David inquired 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 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.	15 And 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 E Davide fece come Iddio gli avea comandato; e il campo de’ Filstei fu percosso da Gabaon fino a Ghezer.	16 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
17 E la fama di Davide si sparse per tutti i paesi; e il Signore mise spavento di lui in tutte le genti	17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
