Hiram sends artificers and materials to David, to build him a house, Ch1 14:1, Ch1 14:2. David's wives and children, Ch1 14:3-7. He defeats the Philistines in two battles: one in the valley of Rephaim, Ch1 14:8-12; and the other at Gibeon and Gazer, Ch1 14:13-16. His fame goes out into all the surrounding nations, Ch1 14:17.

HIRAM'S KINDNESS TO DAVID; DAVID'S FELICITY. (Ch1 14:1-2) Now Hiram king of Tyre--[See on Sa2 5:11]. The alliance with this neighboring king, and the important advantages derived from it, were among the most fortunate circumstances in David's reign. The providence of God appeared concurrent with His promise in smoothing the early course of his reign. Having conquered the Jebusites and made Zion the royal residence, he had now, along with internal prosperity, established an advantageous treaty with a neighboring prince; and hence, in immediate connection with the mention of this friendly league, it is said, "David perceived that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel."

his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel--This is an important truth, that sovereigns are invested with royal honor and authority, not for their own sakes so much as for that of their people. But while it is true of all kings, it was especially applicable to the monarchs of Israel, and even David was made to know that all his glory and greatness were given only to fit him, as the minister of God, to execute the divine purposes towards the chosen people.
