CHAP. XIV.

1 Hirams kindnesse to Dauid. 2 Dauids felicitie in people, wiues and children. 8 His two victories against the Philistines.

¹Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to Dauid, and timber of Cedars, with masons, and carpenters to build him an house.¹

²And Dauid perceiued that the Lord had confirmed him king ouer Israel, for his kingdome was lift vp on high, because of his people Israel.

³¶ And Dauid tooke moe wiues at Ierusalem: and Dauid begate moe sonnes and daughters.³

⁴Now these are the names of his children which hee had in Ierusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

⁵And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,

⁶And Noga, and Nepheg, and Iaphia,

⁷And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Elpalet.⁷

⁸¶ And when the Philistines heard that Dauid was anoynted king ouer all Israel, all the Philistines went vp to seeke Dauid: and Dauid heard of it, and went out against them.⁸

⁹And the Philistines came & spread themselues in the valley of Rephaim.

¹⁰And Dauid enquired of God, saying, Shall I goe vp against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliuer them into mine hand? And the Lord said vnto him, Go vp, for I will deliuer them into thine hand.

¹¹So they came vp to Baal-Perazim, and Dauid smote them there. Then Dauid said, God hath broken in vpon mine enemies by mine hand, like the breaking foorth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place, Baal-Perazim.¹¹

¹²And when they had left their gods there, Dauid gaue a commandement, and they were burnt with fire.

¹³And the Philistines yet againe spread themselues abroad in the valley.

¹⁴Therfore Dauid enquired againe of God, and God said vnto him, Goe not vp after them, turne away from them, and come vpon them ouer against the mulbery trees.¹⁴

¹⁵And it shall bee, when thou shalt heare a sound of going in the tops of the mulbery trees, that then thou shalt goe out to battaile: for God is gone foorth before thee, to smite the hoste of the Philistines.

¹⁶Dauid therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the hoste of the Philistines from Gibeon euen to Gazer.

¹⁷And the fame of Dauid went out into all lands, and the Lord brought the feare of him vpon all nations.
