1 Chronicles 14
- 1Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him a house.
- 2And David realized that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel.
- 3And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David had more sons and daughters.
- 4Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem, Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
- 5And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
- 6And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
- 7And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
- 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.
- 9And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
- 10And David asked God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And will you deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him, Go up. For I will deliver them into your hand.
- 11So they came up to Baalperazim, and David struck them there. Then David said, God has broken in on my enemies by my hand like the breaking out of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim.
- 12And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
- 13And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.
- 14Therefore David asked again of God, and God said to him, Do not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come on them over against the mulberry trees.
- 15And it shall be, when you shall hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then you shall go out to battle. For God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.
- 16David therefore did as God commanded him: and they struck the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
- 17And the fame of David went out into all lands. The Lord brought the fear of him on all nations.
