14:1 And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers
to David, and cedar timbers, and masons, and carpenters, to build a house
for him.
14:2 And David knew that the Lord [had] designed him to be king over Israel;
because his kingdom was highly exalted, on account of his people Israel.
14:3 And David took more wives in Jerusalem: and there were born to David
more sons and daughters.
14:4 And these [are] the names of those that were born, who were [born] to
him in Jerusalem; Samaa, Sobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
14:5 and Baar, and Elisa, and Eliphaleth,
14:6 and Nageth, and Naphath, and Japhie,
14:7 and Elisamae, and Eliade, and Eliphala.
14:8 And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel:
and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard [it], and
went out to meet them.
14:9 And the Philistines came and assembled together in the giants' valley.
14:10 And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the
Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to
him, Go up, and I will deliver them into thy hands.
14:11 And he went up to Baal Pharasin, and David smote them there; and David
said, God has broken through enemies by my hand like a breach of water:
therefore he called the name of that place, the Breach of Pharasin.
14:12 And the Philistines left their gods there; and David gave orders to
burn them with fire.
14:13 And the Philistines once more assembled themselves in the giants'
valley.
14:14 And David enquired of God again; and God said to him, Thou shalt not
go after them; turn away from them, and thou shalt come upon them near the
pear trees.
14:15 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear the sound of their tumult in the
tops of the pear trees, then thou shalt go into the battle: for God has gone
out before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.
14:16 And he did as God commanded him: and he smote the army of the
Philistines from Gabaon to Gazera.
14:17 And the name of David was [famous] in all the land; and the Lord put
the terror of him on all the nations. |
14:1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers
to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an
house.
14:2 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.
14:3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and
daughters.
14:4 Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem;
Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
14:5 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
14:6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
14:7 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
14:8 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.
14:9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
14:10 And David inquired 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.
14:11 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.
14:12 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and
they were burned with fire.
14:13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.
14:14 Therefore David inquired 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.
14:15 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.
14:16 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of
the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
14:17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought
the fear of him upon all nations. |
