14
- 14:1
- Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber
of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.
- 14:2
- 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.
- 14:3
- And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more
sons and daughters.
- 14:4
- Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem;
Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
- 14:5
- And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
- 14:6
- And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
- 14:7
- And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
- 14:8
- 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.
- 14:9
- And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley
of Rephaim.
- 14:10
- And David enquired 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.
- 14:11
- So they came up to Baalperazim; 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 Baalperazim.
- 14:12
- And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment,
and they were burned with fire.
- 14:13
- And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in
the valley.
- 14:14
- Therefore David enquired 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.
- 14:15
- 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.
- 14:16
- David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote
the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
- 14:17
- And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD
brought the fear of him upon all nations.
