1 Chronicles 14 — DBY
14Verse 1And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him a house.Verse 2And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, because of his people Israel.Verse 3And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begot more sons and daughters.Verse 4And these are the names of the children which 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 the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard [of it], and went out against them.Verse 9And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.Verse 10And David inquired of°God saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou give them into my hand? And Jehovah said to him, Go up; and I will give them into thy hand.Verse 11And they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said,°God has broken in upon mine enemies by my hand, as the breaking forth of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.Verse 12And they left their°gods there; and David commanded, and they were burned with fire.Verse 13And the Philistines yet again spread themselves in the valley.Verse 14And David inquired again of°God; and°God said to him, Go not up after them; turn round them and come upon them opposite 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 will have gone forth before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.Verse 16And David did as°God commanded him; and they smote the army 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 the nations.
