Holy Bible
(King James Version)
First
Chronicles : Chapter 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;
Sham-mu-a, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon.
5. And Ib-har, and E-li-shu-a, and El-pa-let,
6. And Nogah, and Neph-eg, and Ja-phi-a,
7. And E-li-sha-ma, and Bee-li-a-da, and E-liph-a-let.
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
Reph-a-im.
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 Ba-al-pe-ra-zim; 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 Ba-al-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.
