1 Chronicles 14

English Standard Version

David's Wives and Children

14 ^(A)And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, also masons and carpenters to build a house for him. ²And David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom was highly exalted for the sake of his people Israel.

³And David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David fathered more sons and daughters. ⁴^(B)These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: ^(C)Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, ⁵Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, ⁶Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, ⁷Elishama, ^(D)Beeliada and ^(E)Eliphelet.

Philistines Defeated

⁸When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. But David heard of it and went out against them. ⁹Now the Philistines had come and ^(F)made a raid in the ^(G)Valley of Rephaim. ¹⁰And David inquired of God, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you give them into my hand?” And the Lord said to him, “Go up, and I will give them into your hand.” ¹¹And he went up to Baal-perazim, and David struck them down there. And David said, “God has broken through^[a] my enemies by my hand, like a bursting flood.” Therefore the name of that place is called Baal-perazim. ¹²And they left their gods there, and David gave command, and they were burned.

¹³And the Philistines yet again ^(H)made a raid in the valley. ¹⁴And when David again inquired of God, ^(I)God said to him, “You shall not go up after them; go around and come against them opposite the balsam trees. ¹⁵And when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then go out to battle, for God has gone out before you to strike down the army of the Philistines.” ¹⁶And David did as God commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army from Gibeon to Gezer. ¹⁷And the fame of David went out into all lands, and the Lord brought the ^(J)fear of him upon all nations.

An Oracle Concerning Moab

15 An ^(A)oracle concerning ^(B)Moab.

Because ^(C)Ar of Moab is laid waste in a night,
    Moab is undone;
because ^(D)Kir of Moab is laid waste in a night,
    Moab is undone.
²He has gone up to the temple,^[a] and to ^(E)Dibon,
    to the high places^[b] to weep;
over ^(F)Nebo and over ^(G)Medeba
    Moab ^(H)wails.
On every head is ^(I)baldness;
    every beard is shorn;
³in the streets they wear sackcloth;
    on the housetops and in the squares
    everyone wails and melts in tears.
⁴^(J)Heshbon and ^(K)Elealeh cry out;
    their voice is heard as far as ^(L)Jahaz;
therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud;
    his soul trembles.
⁵My heart cries out for Moab;
    her fugitives flee to Zoar,
    to ^(M)Eglath-shelishiyah.
For at the ^(N)ascent of Luhith
    they go up weeping;
on the road to ^(O)Horonaim
    they raise a cry of destruction;
⁶the waters of ^(P)Nimrim
    are a desolation;
the grass is withered, the vegetation fails,
    the greenery is no more.
⁷^(Q)Therefore the abundance they have gained
    and what they have laid up
they carry away
    over the Brook of the Willows.
⁸For a cry has gone
    around the land of Moab;
her wailing reaches to Eglaim;
    her wailing reaches to Beer-elim.
⁹For the waters of ^(R)Dibon^[c] are full of blood;
    for I will bring upon Dibon even more,
^(S)a lion for those of Moab who escape,
    for the remnant of the land.
