Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
"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.  Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.  And David inquired of God, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand?  And Jehovah said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thy hand.  So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said, God hath broken mine enemies by my hand, like a breach of waters.  Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.  And they left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.
