Chapter 14 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 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.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.
Chapter 15 1 And David made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.2 Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever.3 And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD unto his place, which he had prepared for it.4 And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites:5 Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty:6 Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty:7 Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and thirty:8 Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred:9 Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore:10 Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve.11 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,12 And said unto them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared for it.
