1 Chronicles 14:3-14 Amplified Bible (AMP)

3. And David took more wives to Jerusalem, and [he] became the father of more sons and daughters.

4. Now these are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

5. Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,

6. Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,

7. Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

8. And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, [they] all went up to seek David. And [he] heard of it and went out before them.

9. Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the Valley of Rephaim.

10. David asked God, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And will You deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said, Go up, and I will deliver them into your hand.

11. So [Israel] came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote [the Philistines] there. Then David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like the bursting forth of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim [Lord of breaking through].

12. [The Philistines] left their gods there; David commanded and they were burned.

13. And the Philistines again made a raid in the valley.

14. And David inquired again of God, and God said to him, Do not go up after them; turn away from them and come [around] upon them over opposite the mulberry trees.
