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