1Ch 14:1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.
Ver. 1. **Now Hiram king of Tyre.** ] *See Trapp on "* 2Sa 5:11 *"* *See Trapp on "* 2Sa 5:12 *"*

1Ch 14:2 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.
Ver. 2. **Because of his people.** ] For their behoof and benefit.

1Ch 14:3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.
Ver. 3. **And David begat more sons.** ] Man’s badness breaketh not off the course of God’s goodness.

1Ch 14:8 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.
Ver. 8. **Went up to seek David.** ] But had soon enough of him; but God had a holy hand in all, to bring them to condign punishment for their late misusage of dead Saul and his sons; ascribing their successes to their gods, &c.

1Ch 14:11 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.
Ver. 11. **Like the breaking forth of waters.** ] That is, saith the Chaldee Paraphrast, As water runneth out of a broken earthen vessel.

1Ch 14:12 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
Ver. 12. **And when they had left their gods there.** ] Their *terricula* bogey gods. They were now in a great fright.

1Ch 14:13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.
Ver. 13. **And the Philistine yet again.** ] *Ne accepta quidem clade resipiscunt:* they were obdurate and obstinate.

1Ch 14:14 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.
Ver. 14. **Against the mulberry trees.** ] Where the Philistines had placed their gods, say the Hebrews.

1Ch 14:15 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.
Ver. 15. **For God.** ] That is, The angel of God, saith the Chaldee.

1Ch 14:17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
Ver. 17. **And the Lord brought the fear of him.** ] He grew terrible to his enemies. So did Hunniades, Scanderbeg, Charles V, &c., *ita et parentes liberis plorantibus silentium non aliter imperarent quam horum praesentiam minitando:* so that mothers stilled their children by these men’s names.
