1 Chronicles 14 (WEBP)

[1] Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
[2] David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, for his people Israel’s sake.
[3] David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David became the father of more sons and daughters.
[4] 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] 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.
[9] Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
[10] David inquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” Yahweh said to him, “Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.”
[11] So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like waters breaking out. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
[12] They left their gods there; and David gave a command, and they were burned with fire.
[13] The Philistines made another raid in the valley.
[14] David inquired again of God; and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come on them opposite the mulberry trees.
[15] When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”
[16] David did as God commanded him; and they attacked the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
[17] The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought the fear of him on all nations.

1 Chronicles 14:11 “Baal Perazim” means “The Lord who breaks out”.

1 Chronicles 14 (KJVS)

[1] Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.
[2] 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.
[3] And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.
[4] Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
[5] and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
[6] and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
[7] and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
[8] 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.
[9] And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
[10] 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.
[11] So they came up to Baal-perazim; 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 Baal-perazim.
[12] And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
[13] And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.
[14] 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.
[15] 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.
[16] David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
[17] And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations.
