1 Chronicles 14

1And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him a house.

2And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, because of his people Israel.

3And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begot more sons and daughters.

4And these are the names of the children which he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

5and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,

6and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

7and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

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.

9And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

10And David inquired of ElohimGod 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.

11And they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said, ElohimGod 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.

12And they left their Elohimgods there; and David commanded, and they were burned with fire.

13And the Philistines yet again spread themselves in the valley.

14And David inquired again of ElohimGod; and ElohimGod said to him, Go not up after them; turn round them and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees.

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 ElohimGod will have gone forth before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.

16And David did as ElohimGod commanded him; and they smote the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

17And the fame of David went out into all lands; and Jehovah brought the fear of him upon all the nations.
