1Chr 14
1
And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and masons, and
carpenters, to build him a house.
2
And David perceived that YHWH had established him king over Israel; for his kingdom
was exalted on high, for his people Israel`s sake.
3
And David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David engendered more sons and daughters.
4
And these are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab,
Nathan, and Solomon,
5
and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
6
and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7
and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
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
Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
10
And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and will
you deliver them into my hand? And YHWH said to him, Go up; for I will deliver them
into your hand.
11
So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said, God has
broken mine enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the
name of that place Baal-perazim.
12
And they left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with
fire.
13
And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.
14
And David inquired again of God; and God said to him, You shall not go up after them:
turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees.
15
And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees,
that then you shall go out to battle; for God is gone out before you to smite the
host of the Philistines.
16
And David did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from
Gibeon even to Gezer.
17
And the fame of David went out into all lands; and YHWH brought the fear of him upon
all nations.
