1 Chronicles 14

¹And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar timbers, and masons, and carpenters, to build a house for him.

²And 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.

³And David took more wives in Jerusalem: and there were born to David more sons and daughters.

⁴And these [are] the names of those that were born, who were [born] to him in Jerusalem; Samaa, Sobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

⁵and Baar, and Elisa, and Eliphaleth,

⁶and Nageth, and Naphath, and Japhie,

⁷and Elisamae, and Eliade, and Eliphala.

⁸And 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.

⁹And the Philistines came and assembled together in the giants' valley.

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and will you deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into your hands.

¹¹And 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.

¹¹And he went up to Baal Pharasin, and David struck 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.

¹²And the Philistines left their gods there; and David gave orders to burn them with fire.

¹³And the Philistines once more assembled themselves in the giants' valley.

¹⁴And 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.

¹⁴And David enquired of God again; and God said to him, You shall not go after them; turn away from them, and you shall come upon them near the pear trees.

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵And it shall be, when you shall hear the sound of their tumult in the tops of the pear trees, then you shall go into the battle: for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.

¹⁶And he did as God commanded him: and he smote the army of the Philistines from Gabaon to Gazera.

¹⁷And the name of David was [famous] in all the land; and the Lord put the terror of him on all the nations.
