1 Chronicles 14
14
David Established at Jerusalem
2Sa 5:11–25; 1Ch 3:5–8
1#2Sa 5:11–16; 2Ch 2:3Then Hiram the king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar wood, stonemasons, and carpenters to build a palace for him. 2#Nu 24:7So David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel because his kingdom was highly exalted for the sake of His people Israel.
3Now David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David became the father of more sons and daughters. 4#1Ch 3:5–9These are the names of the children who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 5Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, 6Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, 7#2Sa 5:16; 1Ch 3:8Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
David Defeats the Philistines
8Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek out David, but David heard and went out to them. 9#1Ch 11:15; 14:13So the Philistines came and raided the Valley of Rephaim. 10Then David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You give them into my hand?”
The Lord answered, “Go up against them, and I will give them into your hand.”
11#Isa 28:21And they went up to Baal Perazim, and David struck them down there. Then David said, “God broke through my enemies by my hand as the breaking through of waters.” Therefore they named that place Baal Perazim. 12#Ex 32:20They abandoned their gods there, and David said that they should be burned with fire.
13#1Ch 14:9Now the Philistines raided the valley once more. 14And David again inquired of God, and God answered him: “Do not go up after them, but turn around behind them and come to them in front of the balsam trees. 15Whenever you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, you will advance the battle, for God has gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.” 16David did just as God commanded him, and they struck the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon as far as Gezer.
17#Dt 2:25; Ex 15:14–16So the fame of David went out in all the lands, and the Lord put the dread of him on all the nations.
