UST 1CH Chapter 14

1CH 14 ©

14One day Hiram, the king of the city of Tyre, sent some messengers to David to talk about making an agreement between their countries. Then Hiram sent cedar logs, bricklayers, and carpenters to build a palace for David. 2When that happened, David knew that Yahweh had truly caused him to be the king of Israel, and that Yahweh had caused the surrounding nations to respect David’s kingdom. Yahweh did this because he loved his Israelite people.

3David married more women in Jerusalem, and those women gave birth to more sons and daughters for him. 4The names of the children who were born to him in Jerusalem were Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 5Ibhar, Elishama, Elpelet, 6Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, 7Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

8When the army of Philistia heard that people in Israel appointed David to be king of all of Israel, they went to try to capture him. But David heard that the army of Philistia was coming, so he and his soldiers went out to fight against them. 9Now, the army of Philistia had come to the Valley of Rephaim southwest of Jerusalem and had attacked and robbed the people there. 10So David asked God, “Should my men and I go and attack the army of Philistia? If we go, will you enable us to defeat them?”

Yahweh replied, “Yes, go, and I will enable you to defeat them.”

11The soldiers of Philistia went to a town people now call “Baal Perazim.” David and his men met the soldiers of Philistia there and defeated them. Then David said, “God has completely defeated my enemies by using me and my army. God destroyed them like water breaking a dam.” So they named that place “Baal Perazim,” which meant “The Lord breaks through.” 12As the soldiers of Philistia fled, they left their idols there. So David commanded his soldiers to burn those idols.

13But soon the army of Philistia attacked the people in that valley again. 14So again David prayed to God to ask him what he should do, and God replied, “Do not attack the army of Philistia from the front. Instead, go around them, and attack them from the rear in front of the balsam trees. 15When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like soldiers marching, that is when you must attack, because I, God, will have gone ahead of you to enable you to defeat the army of Philistia.” 16So David did what God commanded him to do, and he and his army defeated the army of Philistia, all the way from the city of Gibeon west to the city of Gezer.

17So David became famous in all the nearby countries, and Yahweh caused the leaders of all the nations to be afraid of him.
