1 Chronicles 14 — ASVBT
14Verse 1And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.Verse 2And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel’s sake.Verse 3And David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David begat more sons and daughters.Verse 4And these are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,Verse 5and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,Verse 6and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,Verse 7and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.Verse 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.Verse 9Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.Verse 10And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Jehovah said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thy hand.Verse 11So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said, God hath broken mine enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.Verse 12And they left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.Verse 13And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.Verse 14And David inquired again of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.Verse 15And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God is gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.Verse 16And David did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.Verse 17And the fame of David went out into all lands; and Jehovah brought the fear of him upon all nations.
