1 Chronicles 14
14
David’s Kingdom Grows
1Hiram king of the city of Tyre sent messengers to David. He also sent cedar logs, bricklayers, and carpenters to build a palace for David. 2Then David knew that the Lord really had made him king of Israel and that he had made his kingdom great. The Lord did this because he loved his people Israel.
3David married more women in Jerusalem and had more sons and daughters. 4These are the names of David’s children born in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 5Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, 6Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, 7Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
David Defeats the Philistines
8When the Philistines heard that David had been made king of all Israel, they went to look for him. But David heard about it and went out to fight them. 9The Philistines had attacked and robbed the people in the Valley of Rephaim. 10David asked God, “Should I go and attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?”
The Lord answered him, “Go, I will hand them over to you.”
11So David and his men went up to the town of Baal Perazim and defeated the Philistines. David said, “Like a flood of water, God has broken through my enemies by using me.” So that place was named Baal Perazim. 12The Philistines had left their idols there, so David ordered his men to burn them.
13Soon the Philistines attacked the people in the valley again. 14David prayed to God again, and God answered him, saying, “Don’t attack the Philistines from the front. Instead, go around them and attack them in front of the balsam trees. 15When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then attack. I, God, will have gone out before you to defeat the Philistine army.” 16David did as God commanded, and he and his men defeated the Philistine army all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
17So David became famous in all the countries, and the Lord made all nations afraid of him.
