Read 1 Chronicles 14 here (text coming …) or at Bible Gateway.
The Hebrew paragraphs:
14:1-2 {s} Hiram built David a house in Jerusalem/ YHVH established David’s kingdom for Israel’s sake
14:3-7 {p} The sons of David born to him in Jerusalem
14:8-12 {p} David defeated the Philistines at Baal Perazim, and destroyed their idols
14:13-15:2 {p} David defeated the Philistines from Gibeon as far as Gezer/ his fame and fear spread abroad
The Strong theme:
13:1-14:7 {s+s+p} David feared YHVH/ YHVH established David’s kingdom and built his house
The Chiastic structure:
In this History that Prophesies, Messiah (who David foreshadows by Prophetic Type) reveres YHVH and His presence, and builds His house, that is, His family, His body of believers. This has been His work for the past 2000 years. However when His enemies hear that all Israel had gathered together to anoint Him King (this day is soon coming!) they marshal their forces to destroy them. Instead He destroys them and all their false idols; so that His fame and His fear come upon all the nations. And King Yeshua reigns!
