1 Chronicles 14
- 1
- Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and
timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.
- 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
- And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat
more sons and daughters.
- 4
- Now these are the names of his children which he had in
Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
- 5
- And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
- 6
- And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
- 7
- And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
- 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
- And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the
valley of Rephaim.
- 10
- And 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
- So they came up to Baalperazim; 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
Baalperazim.
- 12
- And when they had left their gods there, David gave a
commandment, and they were burned with fire.
- 13
- And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad
in the valley.
- 14
- Therefore 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
- 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
- David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote
the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
- 17
- And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the
LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
