1Chronicles - Chapter 14 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 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 {cf15I are} the names of {cf15I 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 {cf15I of it}, and went out against them.
  • 9. And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
  • 10. And David enquired 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 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.
  • 15. And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, {cf15I 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.
