The First Book of The Chronicles

1Ch 14:1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.

1Ch 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.

1Ch 14:3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.

1Ch 14:4 Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Sham-mu´-a, and Sho´-bab, Nathan, and Solomon,

1Ch 14:5 And Ib´-har, and El-i-shu´-a, and El´-pa-let,

1Ch 14:6 And No´-gah, and Ne´-pheg, and Ja-phi´-a,

1Ch 14:7 And E-lish´-a-ma, and Be-e-li´-ada, and E-liph´-a-let.

1Ch 14:8 And when the Phi-lis´-tines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Phi-lis´-tines went up to seek David. And David heard of it, and went out against them.

1Ch 14:9 And the Phi-lis´-tines came and spread themselves in the valley of Reph´-a-im.

1Ch 14:10 And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Phi-lis´tines? and wilt Thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.

1Ch 14:11 So they came up to Ba´-al–per´a-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–per´-a-zim.

1Ch 14:12 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.

1Ch 14:13 And the Phi-lis´-tines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.

1Ch 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.

1Ch 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 Phi-lis´-tines.

1Ch 14:16 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Phi-lis´-tines from Gib´-e-on even to Ga´-zer.

1Ch 14:17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations.
