Divrei Hayamim I 14
Divrei Hayamim I (Book of 1 Chronicles), Chapter 14
'"`UNIQ--named-00000000-QINU`"'1 And Huram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000001-QINU`"'2 And David perceived that HaShem had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was exalted exceedingly, for His people Israel's sake.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000002-QINU`"'3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David begot more sons and daughters.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000003-QINU`"'4 And these are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000004-QINU`"'5 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000005-QINU`"'6 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000006-QINU`"'7 and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000007-QINU`"'8 And 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 to meet them.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000008-QINU`"'9 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000009-QINU`"'10 And David inquired of G-d, saying: 'Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt Thou deliver them into my hand?' And HaShem said unto him: 'Go up; for I will deliver them into thy hand.'
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000A-QINU`"'11 So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said: 'G-d hath broken mine enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters.' Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000B-QINU`"'12 And they left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000C-QINU`"'13 And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000D-QINU`"'14 And David inquired again of G-d; and G-d said unto him: 'Thou shalt not go up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000E-QINU`"'15 And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for G-d is gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.'
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000F-QINU`"'16 And David did as G-d commanded him; and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000010-QINU`"'17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and HaShem brought the fear of him upon all nations.
