14:1  And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him an house.
14:2  And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel's sake.
14:3  And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.
14:4  And these are the names of the children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon;
14:5  and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet;
14:6  and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia;
14:7  and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
14:8  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 against them.
14:9  Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
14:10  And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.
14:11  So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said, God hath broken mine enemies by mine hand, like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
14:12  And they left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.
14:13  And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.
14:14  And David inquired again of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
14:15  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 God is gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines;
14:16  And David did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
14:17  And the fame of David went out unto all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
