Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
"And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.  And David inquired again of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.  And it shall be, that when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God is gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.  And David did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.  And the fame of David went out into all lands; and Jehovah brought the fear of him upon all nations."
