          DASV: 1 Chronicles 14    

1 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, along with cedar trees, masons, and carpenters, to build him a palace.
2 David understood that the LORD had established him king over Israel; for he had highly exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.
3 Then David took more wives in Jerusalem and David fathered more sons and daughters.
4 These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

8 When the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. David heard about 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? Will you hand them over to me?" The LORD replied, "Go up; for I will hand them over to you."
11 So they went up to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there. David said, "God has broken my enemies by my hand, like the water bursts out." So they called the name of that place Baal-perazim ["the Lord bursts out"].
12 They abandoned their gods there, and David gave orders and they were burned up.
13 But again the Philistines raided the valley.
14 David inquired again of God. God told him, "You should not go up after them; circle around them, and come up against them in front of the balsam trees.
15 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balasam trees, then go out and attack. For God is going out before you to strike down the Philistine army."
16 David did just as God had commanded him. They struck down the Philistine army from Gibeon to Gezer.
17 The fame of David spread into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him on all nations.
