1 Chr 14:8 ¶ When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up in search of David; and David heard of it and went out against them.
1 Chr 14:9 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
1 Chr 14:10 David inquired of God, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? And will You give them into my hand?" Then the LORD said to him, "Go up, for I will give them into your hand."
1 Chr 14:11 So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there; and David said, "God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like the breakthrough of waters." Therefore they named that place Baal-perazim.
1 Chr 14:12 They abandoned their gods there; so David gave the order and they were burned with fire.
1 Chr 14:13 ¶ The Philistines made yet another raid in the valley.
1 Chr 14:14 David inquired again of God, and God said to him, "You shall not go up after them; circle around behind them and come at them in front of the balsam trees.
1 Chr 14:15 "It shall be when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall go out to battle, for God will have gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines."
1 Chr 14:16 David did just as God had commanded him, and they struck down the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even as far as Gezer.
1 Chr 14:17 Then the fame of David went out into all the lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him on all the nations.
1 Chr 15:1 Now David built houses for himself in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it.
1 Chr 15:2 Then David said, "No one is to carry the ark of God but the Levites; for the LORD chose them to carry the ark of God and to minister to Him forever."
1 Chr 15:3 And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the LORD to its place which he had prepared for it.
1 Chr 15:4 David gathered together the sons of Aaron and the Levites:
1 Chr 15:5 of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and 120 of his relatives;
1 Chr 15:6 of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and 220 of his relatives;
1 Chr 15:7 of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and 130 of his relatives;
1 Chr 15:8 of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and 200 of his relatives;
1 Chr 15:9 of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and 80 of his relatives;
