1 Chronicles 14 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

David's Family Enlarged

1Ch 14:1Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons and carpenters, to build a house for him.
1Ch 14:2And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom was highly exalted, for the sake of His people Israel.
1Ch 14:3Then David took more wives at Jerusalem, and David [fn]became the father of more sons and daughters.
1Ch 14:4These are the names of the children [fn]born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
1Ch 14:5Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
1Ch 14:6Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
1Ch 14:7Elishama, Beeliada and Eliphelet.

Philistines Defeated

1Ch 14:8When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up in search of David; and David heard of it and went out against them.
1Ch 14:9Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
1Ch 14:10David inquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? And will You give them into my hand?” Then the LORD said to him, “Go up, for I will give them into your hand.”
1Ch 14:11So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David [fn]defeated them there; and David said, “God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like the breakthrough of waters.” Therefore they named that place [fn]Baal-perazim.
1Ch 14:12They abandoned their gods there; so David gave the order and they were burned with fire.
1Ch 14:13The Philistines made yet another raid in the valley.
1Ch 14:14David inquired again of God, and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them; circle around [fn]behind them and come at them in front of the [fn]balsam trees.
1Ch 14:15“It shall be when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall go out to battle, for God will have gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”
1Ch 14:16David did just as God had commanded him, and they struck down the army of the Philistines from [fn]Gibeon even as far as Gezer.
1Ch 14:17Then the fame of David went out into all the lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him on all the nations.
