Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons and carpenters, to build a house for him.

David inquired again of God, and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them; circle around behind them and come at them in front of the balsam trees.

It shall be when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall go out to battle, for God will have gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”

Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the Lord;
For He is coming to judge the earth.

Baal-hanan the Gederite had charge of the olive and sycamore trees in the Shephelah; and Joash had charge of the stores of oil.
