1 Chronicles 14
1And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar timbers, and masons, and carpenters,to build a house for him. 2And David knew that the Lordhad designed him to be king over Israel; because his kingdom was highly exalted, on accountof his people Israel. 3And David took more wives in Jerusalem: and there were born to David more sons and daughters. 4And theseare the names of those that were born, who wereborn to him in Jerusalem; Samaa, Sobab, Nathan, and Solomon, 5and Baar, and Elisa, and Eliphaleth, 6and Nageth, and Naphath, and Japhie, 7and Elisamae, and Eliade, and Eliphala. 8And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel: and all the Philistineswent up to seek David; and David heardit, and went out to meet them. 9And the Philistines came and assembled together in the giants' valley. 10And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and will youdeliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into your hands. 11And he went up to Baal Pharasin, and David struck them there; and David said, God hasbroken through enemies by my hand like a breach of water: therefore he called the name of that place,the Breach of Pharasin. 12And the Philistines left their gods there; and David gave orders to burn them with fire. 13And the Philistines once more assembled themselves in the giants' valley. 14And David enquired of God again; and God said to him, You shall not go after them; turnaway from them, and you shall come upon them near the pear trees. 15And it shall be, when you shall hear the sound of their tumult in the tops of the peartrees, then you shall go into the battle: for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines. 16And he did as God commanded him: and he struck the army of the Philistines from Gabaonto Gazera. 17And the name of David wasfamous in all the land; and the Lord put the terror of him on all the nations.
