“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 [are] the names of [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
[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, [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.” (1 Chronicles 14:1-17 AV)
