I Chronicles Chapter 14
1 Then sent Hiram the king of Tyrus
messengers to David, and cedar trees,
with masons and carpenters to build him
an house.
2 Therefore David knew that the Lord
had confirmed him king over Israel , and
that his kingdom was lift up on high,
because of his people Israel. 3 Also
David took more wives at Jerusalem,
and David begat more sons and
daughters.
4 And these are the names of the
children which he had at Jerusalem,
Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and
Solomon,
5 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Eliphelet,
6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and
Eliphelet.
8 But when the Philistines heard that
David was anointed king over Israel, all
the Philistines came up to seek David.
And when David heard, he went out
against them.
9 And the Philistines came, and spread
themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 10
Then David asked counsel at 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: and David said,
God hath divided mine enemies with
mine hand, as waters are divided:
therefore they called the name of that
place, Baal-perazim.
12 And there they had left their gods:
and David said, Let them even be burned
with fire.
13 Again the Philistines came and
spread themselves in the valley. 14 And
when David asked again counsel at God,
God said to him, Thou shalt not go up
after them, but turn away from them, that
thou mayest come upon them over
against the mulberry trees.
15 And when thou hearest the noise of
one going in the tops of the mulberry
trees, then go out to battle: for God is
gone forth before thee, to smite the host
of the Philistines.
16 So David did as God had
commanded him: and they smote the host
of the Philistines from Gibeon even to
Gezer.
17 And the fame of David went out into
all lands, and the Lord brought the fear
of him upon all nations.
