Properties
14 is the third distinct semiprime,A001358 being the third of the form (where is a higher prime). More specifically, it is the first member of the second cluster of two discrete semiprimes (14, 15); the next such cluster is (21, 22), members whose sum is the fourteenth prime number, 43.
14 has an aliquot sum of 10, within an aliquot sequence of two composite numbers (14, 10, 8, 7, 1, 0) in the prime 7-aliquot tree.
14 is the third companion Pell number and the fourth Catalan number.https://oeis.org/A002203 Sloane's A002203 : Companion Pell numbers The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences OEIS Foundation 2016-06-01https://oeis.org/A000108 Sloane's A000108 : Catalan numbers The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences OEIS Foundation 2016-06-01 It is the lowest even for which the Euler totient has no solution, making it the first even nontotient.https://oeis.org/A005277 Sloane's A005277 : Nontotients The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences OEIS Foundation 2016-06-01

In religion and mythology
Christianity
There is a fourteen-point silver star marking the traditional spot of Jesus’ birth in the Basilica of the Nativity in Bethlehem. According to the genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew, “...there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen generations from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Messiah” (Matthew 1:17).
Islam
In Islam, 14 has a special significance because of the Fourteen Infallibles who are especially revered and important in Twelver Shi'ism. They are all considered to be infallible by Twelvers alongside the Prophets of Islam, however these fourteen are said to have a greater significance and closeness to God.
These fourteen include:
Prophet Muhammad (SAWA)
His daughter, Lady Fatima (SA)
Her husband, Imam Ali (AS)
His son, Imam Hasan (AS)
His brother, Imam Husayn (AS)
His son, Imam Ali al-Sajjad (AS)
His son, Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (AS)
His son, Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (AS)
His son, Imam Musa al-Kazim (AS)
His son, Imam Ali al-Rida (AS)
His son, Imam Muhammad al-Jawad (AS)
His son, Imam Ali al-Hadi (AS)
His son, Imam Hasan al-Askari (AS)
