14:1 And
Hiram
king
of
Tyre
sent
messengers
to
David,
and
cedar
trees,
also
masons
and
carpenters
to
build
a
house
for
him.
14:2 And
David
knew
that
the
LORD
had
established
him
as
king
over
Israel,
and
that
his
kingdom
was
highly
exalted
for
the
sake
of
his
people
Israel.
14:3 And
David
took
more
wives
in
Jerusalem,
and
David
fathered
more
sons
and
daughters.
14:4 These
are
the
names
of
the
children
born
to
him
in
Jerusalem:
Shammua,
Shobab,
Nathan,
Solomon,
14:5 Ibhar,
Elishua,
Elpelet,
14:6 Nogah,
Nepheg,
Japhia,
14:7 Elishama,
Beeliada
and
Eliphelet.
14:8 When
the
Philistines
heard
that
David
had
been
anointed
king
over
all
Israel,
all
the
Philistines
went
up
to
search
for
David.
But
David
heard
of
it
and
went
out
against
them.
14:9 Now
the
Philistines
had
come
and
made
a
raid
in
the
Valley
of
Rephaim.
14:10 And
David
inquired
of
God,
"Shall
I
go
up
against
the
Philistines
Will
you
give
them
into
my
hand"
And
the
LORD
said
to
him,
"Go
up,
and
I
will
give
them
into
your
hand."
14:11 And
he
went
up
to
Baal-perazim,
and
David
struck
them
down
there.
And
David
said,
"God
has
broken
through
my
enemies
by
my
hand,
like
a
bursting
flood."
Therefore
the
name
of
that
place
is
called
Baal-perazim.
14:12 And
they
left
their
gods
there,
and
David
gave
command,
and
they
were
burned.
14:13 And
the
Philistines
yet
again
made
a
raid
in
the
valley.
14:14 And
when
David
again
inquired
of
God,
God
said
to
him,
"You
shall
not
go
up
after
them;
go
around
and
come
against
them
opposite
the
balsam
trees.
14:15 And
when
you
hear
the
sound
of
marching
in
the
tops
of
the
balsam
trees,
then
go
out
to
battle,
for
God
has
gone
out
before
you
to
strike
down
the
army
of
the
Philistines."
14:16 And
David
did
as
God
commanded
him,
and
they
struck
down
the
Philistine
army
from
Gibeon
to
Gezer.
14:17 And
the
fame
of
David
went
out
into
all
lands,
and
the
LORD
brought
the
fear
of
him
upon
all
nations.
