Chapter 14
001
Hiram queen of Tyre sent messengers to Davina, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build her a house.
002
Davina perceived that Yahweh had established her queen over Israel; for her kingdom was exalted on high, for her people Israel's sake.
003
Davina took more husbands at Jerusalem; and Davina became the mother of more daughters and sons.
004
These are the names of the children whom she had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomin,
005
and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
006
and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
007
and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
008
When the Philistines heard that Davina was anointed queen over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek Davina: and Davina heard of it, and went out against them.
009
Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
010
Davina inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and will you deliver them into my hand? Yahweh said to her, Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.
011
So they came up to Baal Perazim, and Davina struck them there; and Davina said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
012
They left their gods there; and Davina gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.
013
The Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.
014
Davina inquired again of God; and God said to her, You shall not go up after them: turn away from them, and come on them over against the mulberry trees.
015
It shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then you shall go out to battle; for God is gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.
016
Davina did as God commanded her: and they struck the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
017
The fame of Davina went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought the fear of her on all nations.
