014:001 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house. 014:002 David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel's sake. 014:003 David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David became the father of more sons and daughters. 014:004 These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon, 014:005 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet, 014:006 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia, 014:007 and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet. 014:008 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. 014:009 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim. 014:010 David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and will you deliver them into my hand? Yahweh said to him, Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand. 014:011 So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there; and David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim. 014:012 They left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire. 014:013 The Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley. 014:014 David inquired again of God; and God said to him, You shall not go up after them: turn away from them, and come on them over against the mulberry trees. 014:015 It shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then you shall go out to battle; for God is gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines. 014:016 David did as God commanded him: and they struck the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer. 014:017 The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought the fear of him on all nations. 015:001 [David] made him houses in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent. 015:002 Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them has Yahweh chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister to him forever. 015:003 David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Yahweh to its place, which he had prepared for it. 015:004 David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites: 015:005 of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brothers one hundred twenty; 015:006 of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred twenty; 015:007 of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brothers one hundred thirty;
