1
Now Hiram[H2438]king[H4428] of Tyre[H6865]sent[H7971]messengers[H4397] to David[H1732], and timber[H6086] of cedars[H730], with masons[H7023] and carpenters[H2796], to build[H1129] him an house[H1004].
2
And David[H1732]perceived[H3045] that the LORD[H3068] had confirmed[H3559] him king[H4428] over Israel[H3478], for his kingdom[H4438] was lifted up[H5375] on high[H4605], because of his people[H5971]Israel[H3478].
3
And David[H1732]took[H3947] more wives[H802] at Jerusalem[H3389]: and David[H1732]begat[H3205] more sons[H1121] and daughters[H1323].
4
Now these are the names[H8034] of his children[H3205] which he had in Jerusalem[H3389]; Shammua[H8051], and Shobab[H7727], Nathan[H5416], and Solomon[H8010],
5
And Ibhar[H2984], and Elishua[H474], and Elpalet[H467],
6
And Nogah[H5052], and Nepheg[H5298], and Japhia[H3309],
7
And Elishama[H476], and Beeliada[H1182], and Eliphalet[H467].
8
And when the Philistines[H6430]heard[H8085] that David[H1732] was anointed[H4886]king[H4428] over all Israel[H3478], all the Philistines[H6430] went up[H5927] to seek[H1245]David[H1732]. And David[H1732]heard[H8085] of it, and went out[H3318]against[H6440] them.
9
And the Philistines[H6430]came[H935] and spread[H6584] themselves in the valley[H6010] of Rephaim[H7497].
10
And David[H1732]enquired[H7592] of God[H430], saying[H559], Shall I go up[H5927] against the Philistines?[H6430] and wilt thou deliver[H5414] them into mine hand?[H3027] And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto him, Go up[H5927]; for I will deliver[H5414] them into thine hand[H3027].
11
So they came up[H5927] to Baalperazim[H1188]; and David[H1732]smote[H5221] them there. Then David[H1732]said[H559], God[H430] hath broken in[H6555] upon mine enemies[H341] by mine hand[H3027] like the breaking forth[H6556] of waters[H4325]: therefore they called[H7121] the name[H8034] of that place[H4725]Baalperazim[H1188].
12
And when they had left[H5800] their gods[H430] there, David[H1732] gave a commandment[H559], and they were burned[H8313] with fire[H784].
13
And the Philistines[H6430] yet again[H3254] spread themselves abroad[H6584] in the valley[H6010].
14
Therefore David[H1732]enquired[H7592] again of God[H430]; and God[H430]said[H559] unto him, Go not up[H5927]after[H310] them; turn away[H5437] from them, and come[H935] upon them over against[H4136] the mulberry trees[H1057].
15
And it shall be, when thou shalt hear[H8085] a sound[H6963] of going[H6807] in the tops[H7218] of the mulberry trees[H1057], that then thou shalt go out[H3318] to battle[H4421]: for God[H430] is gone forth[H3318]before[H6440] thee to smite[H5221] the host[H4264] of the Philistines[H6430].
16David[H1732] therefore did[H6213] as God[H430]commanded[H6680] him: and they smote[H5221] the host[H4264] of the Philistines[H6430] from Gibeon[H1391] even to Gazer[H1507].
17
And the fame[H8034] of David[H1732] went out[H3318] into all lands[H776]; and the LORD[H3068]brought[H5414] the fear[H6343] of him upon all nations[H1471].
