| # Chapter 14
#### 1 | Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
#### 2 | David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel's sake.
#### 3 | David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David became the father of more sons and daughters.
#### 4 | These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
#### 5 | and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
#### 6 | and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
#### 7 | and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
#### 8 | 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.
#### 9 | Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
#### 10 | David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and will you deliver them into my hand? Yahweh said to him, Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.
#### 11 | So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David struck them there; and David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
#### 12 | They left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.
#### 13 | The Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.
#### 14 | David inquired again of God; and God said to him, You shall not go up after them: turn away from them, and come on them over against the mulberry-trees.
#### 15 | It shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then you shall go out to battle; for God is gone out before you to strike the host of the Philistines.
#### 16 | David did as God commanded him: and they struck the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
#### 17 | The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought the fear of him on all nations.
