Ask Every Time

Name Date

Read and Think

Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons, and carpenters to build him a house. David perceived that Yahweh had established him as king. He understood that his kingdom was highly exalted for his people Israel's sake, not for his own glory.

When the Philistines raided the valley of Rephaim, David inquired of God. God told him to go up, and David defeated them at Baal Perazim. He said God had broken his enemies like a breach of waters. The Philistines left their gods there, and at David's command they were burned.

The Philistines raided again. David did not assume the same plan would work. He inquired of God again, and this time God told him to circle around and attack from the mulberry trees. David did as God commanded him (14:16). His fame went out into all lands.

1 Chronicles 14 · Grade 5

The King Who Seeks God

Name Date

Read and Think

This chapter is a sharp contrast with Saul, who did not inquire of Yahweh. Hiram of Tyre honored David with cedar and craftsmen for a house. David perceived that Yahweh had established him, and that his kingdom was exalted for his people Israel's sake. Power was a trust, not a prize.

When the Philistines heard David was anointed king, they came to search for him. David inquired of God whether to go up, and God promised to deliver them into his hand. At Baal Perazim, David said God had broken his enemies like a breach of waters. The Philistines left their gods there, and they were burned with fire.

When they raided again, David inquired again. God gave a new plan: circle behind them and wait until the sound of marching in the mulberry trees, for God would go out before him. David did as God commanded, and they struck the Philistines from Gibeon to Gezer. Yahweh brought the fear of David on all nations.

  1. How is David a contrast with Saul here?

  2. What did David perceive about his kingdom?

  3. What did David compare God's victory to?

  4. What would the sound in the mulberry trees mean?

  5. How far did they strike the Philistines?
