The King James Version Bible

1 Chronicles 14:10-17

  1. And David enquired 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.

  2. 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.

  3. And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.

  4. And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.

  5. Therefore David enquired 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.

  6. 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.

  7. David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.

  8. And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
