Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers

And David realized
that the LORD had established
him as
king over Israel and
had
highly
exalted
his kingdom for
the
sake
of His people Israel.
And David perceived
that the LORD had confirmed
him king over Israel ,
for
his kingdom was
lifted
up
on
high,
because
of his people Israel.
And David took more wives in
Jerusalem and became
the
father
of
more sons and daughters.

When the Philistines heard that David had
been
anointed king over all Israel, they
all went in
search
of
him;
but
David learned
of this
and went out to
face
them.
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.
Now
the Philistines had
come
and raided
the Valley of Rephaim.
And
the Philistines came
and spread
themselves
in
the valley of Rephaim.
So
David inquired of God, “Should
I go up against the Philistines? Will
You
deliver them into my
hand? ”
“Go,”
replied
the LORD, “
for I will deliver them into your
hand. ”
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.
So David
and
his
men
went
up to Baal-perazim,
where
he
defeated
the
Philistines
and said, “Like
a
bursting
flood,
God has
burst
out
against
my
enemies by my
hand .”
So
they called that place Baal-perazim
.
So they
came
up to Baalperazim;
and David
smote
them
there.
Then
David
said, God hath
broken
in
upon
mine
enemies by mine
hand like
the
breaking
forth
of
waters:
therefore
they called the
name
of
that place Baalperazim
.
There
the
Philistines
abandoned
their gods, and
David ordered
that
they be
burned in
the
fire.
And
when
they
had
left
their gods there
, David gave
a
commandment,
and
they were
burned with
fire.
Once
again
the Philistines raided
the valley.
And
the Philistines yet
again
spread
themselves
abroad
in
the valley.
So
David again
inquired of God ,
who
answered
him, “Do
not march
up after them ,
but
circle
around
them and attack
them in
front
of
the balsam
trees.
Therefore
David inquired again
of God ;
and
God
said
unto
him, Go
not up after them ;
turn
away
from
them ,
and come
upon
them over
against
the mulberry
trees.
As
soon
as
you
hear the
sound of marching
in the tops of the balsam
trees, move
out to battle ,
because
this
will
mean
that
God has
marched
out
before you
to strike
the camp
of the Philistines. ”
And
it
shall
be,
when
thou
shalt
hear a
sound of going
in the tops of the mulberry
trees, that
then
thou
shalt
go
out to battle :
for
God is
gone
forth
before thee
to smite
the host
of the Philistines.
So
David did as God had
commanded him ,
and they struck
down
the army
of the Philistines all
the
way
from Gibeon to Gezer
.
David therefore
did as God commanded him :
and they smote
the host
of the Philistines from Gibeon even
to Gazer
.
And David’s
fame went out into every
land,
and the LORD caused
all
nations
to
fear him.
And the
fame of
David
went out into all
lands;
and the LORD brought
the
fear of
him upon
all
nations
.
