1 Chronicles 14 — NWB

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