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; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon, |
5
|
And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet, |
6
|
And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia, |
7
|
And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet. |
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 Rephaim. |
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 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. |
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. |
