[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29]

14:1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.

14:2 And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel's sake.

14:3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David begat more sons and daughters.

14:4 And these are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

14:5 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,

14:6 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

14:7 and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

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 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.

14:10 And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Jehovah said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thy hand.

14:11 So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said, God hath broken mine enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

14:12 And they left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.

14:13 And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.

14:14 And David inquired again of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees.

14:15 And 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 God is gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.

14:16 And David did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

14:17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and Jehovah brought the fear of him upon all nations.
