1 Chronicles Chapter 14

1And Huram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, and cedar wood and wall masons and carpenters, to build him a house. 2And David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel, because his kingdom was highly exalted, for the sake of his people Israel. 3And David took some more wives in Jerusalem, and David begot more sons and daughters. 4And these are the names of those born, whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon, 5and Ibhar and Elishua and Elpelet, 6and Nogah and Nepheg and Japhia, 7and Elishama and Beeliada and Eliphelet. 8And when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David, but David heard about it, and he went out to confront them. 9And the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the Valley of the Rephaim. 10And David asked God* and said, “Should I go up against the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my hand?” And the Lord said to him, “Go up, and I will deliver them into your hand.” 11So they went up to Baal-Perazim, and David struck them there. And David said, “God* has dispersed my enemies by means of myself, like an outpouring of water”, which is why they called that place Baal-Perazim. 12And they abandoned their gods there, and David gave the commandment that they were to be burned with fire. 13But the Philistines spread themselves out again in the valley. 14And David inquired of God* again, and God* said to him, “You shall not go up after them. Go round away from them and advance on them from opposite the balsam trees. 15And it will come to pass, when you hear the sound of marching in the crowns of the balsam trees, that then you will go out to war, for God will go out before you to strike the Philistines' camp.” 16And David did as God* had commanded him, and they struck the Philistines' camp from Gibeon to Gezer. 17And David's fame spread throughout all the lands, and the Lord put fear of him on all the nations.
