1 Chronicles 14

1Ch 14:1 And Hiram the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build a house for him.
1Ch 14:2 And David saw that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was exalted to a height, for the sake of His people Israel.
1Ch 14:3 And David again took wives in Jerusalem. And David again fathered sons and daughters.
1Ch 14:4 And these were the names of the children who were to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
1Ch 14:5 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
1Ch 14:6 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
1Ch 14:7 and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
1Ch 14:8 And the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel. And all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard, and went out before them.
1Ch 14:9 And the Philistines came and made a raid in the Valley of the Giants.
1Ch 14:10 And David asked of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines; and, Have You given them into my hand? And Jehovah said to him, Go up, and I will give them into your hand.
1Ch 14:11 And they went up to Baal-perazim, and David struck them there. And David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like the breaking of the waters; so they called the name of that place The Breach of Baal.
1Ch 14:12 And they left their gods there. And David commanded, and they were burned with fire.
1Ch 14:13 And yet again the Philistines raided in the valley.
1Ch 14:14 And David again inquired of God. And God spoke to him, You shall not go up after them; turn away from them and come to them across from the weeping trees.
1Ch 14:15 And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the weeping trees, then you shall go out in the battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.
1Ch 14:16 And David did as God commanded him. And they struck the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
1Ch 14:17 And the name of David went out into all the lands; and Jehovah put the dread of him on all the nations.

On this day...
