1 Chronicles 14:1-10

1 King Hiram of Tyre sent a trade mission to David; he provided him with cedar logs and with stonemasons and carpenters to build a palace.
2 And so David realized that the Lord had established him as king of Israel and was making his kingdom prosperous for the sake of his people.
3 There in Jerusalem, David married more wives and had more sons and daughters.
4 The following children were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 When the Philistines heard that David had now been made king over the whole country of Israel, their army went out to capture him. So David marched out to meet them.
9 The Philistines arrived at Rephaim Valley and began plundering.
10 David asked God, "Shall I attack the Philistines? Will you give me the victory?" The Lord answered, "Yes, attack! I will give you the victory!"
