1. And Hiram[H2438] king[H4428] of Tyre[H6865] sent[H7971] messengers[H4397] to David[H1732], and cedar[H730] - trees[H6086], and masons[H7023], and carpenters[H2796], to build[H1129] him a house[H1004].

2. And David[H1732] perceived[H3045] that Jehovah[H3068] had established[H3559] him king[H4428] over Israel[H3478]; for his kingdom[H4438] was exalted on[H5375] high[H4605], for his people[H5971] Israel[H3478]'s sake.

3. And David[H1732] took[H3947] more wives[H802] at Jerusalem[H3389]; and David[H1732] begat[H3205] more sons[H1121] and daughters[H1323].

4. And these are the names[H8034] of the children[H3205] whom he had in Jerusalem[H3389]: Shammua[H8051], and Shobab[H7727], Nathan[H5416], and Solomon[H8010],

5. and Ibhar[H2984], and Elishua[H474], and Elpelet[H467],

6. and Nogah[H5052], and Nepheg[H5298], and Japhia[H3309],

7. and Elishama[H476], and Beeliada[H1182], and Eliphelet[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[H3318], and went out against them[H6440].

9. Now the Philistines[H6430] had come[H935] and made a raid[H6584] in the valley[H6010] of Rephaim[H7497].

10. And David[H1732] inquired[H7592] of God[H430], saying[H559], Shall I go up[H5927] against the Philistines[H6430]? and wilt thou deliver[H5414] them into my hand[H3027]? And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto him[H5927], Go up; for I will deliver[H5414] them into thy hand[H3027].

11. So they came up[H5927] to Baal-perazim[H1188], and David[H1732] smote[H5221] them there[H1732]; and David said[H559], God[H430] hath broken[H6555] mine enemies[H341] by my hand[H3027], like the breach[H6556] of waters[H4325]. Therefore they called[H7121] the name[H8034] of that place[H4725] Baal-perazim[H1188].

12. And they left[H5800] their gods[H430] there[H1732]; and David gave commandment[H559], and they were burned[H8313] with fire[H784].

13. And the Philistines[H6430] yet again[H3254] made a raid[H6584] in the valley[H6010].

14. And David[H1732] inquired[H7592] again of God[H430]; and God[H430] said[H559] unto him[H5927], Thou shalt not go up after[H310] them[H5437]: turn away from them[H935], and come upon them over against[H4136] the mulberry-trees[H1057].

15. And it shall be[H8085], when thou hearest the sound[H6963] of marching[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 out[H3318] before[H6440] thee to smite[H5221] the host[H4264] of the Philistines[H6430].

16. And David[H1732] did[H6213] as God[H430] commanded[H6680] him[H5221]: and they smote the host[H4264] of the Philistines[H6430] from Gibeon[H1391] even to Gezer[H1507].

17. And the fame[H8034] of David[H1732] went out[H3318] into all lands[H776]; and Jehovah[H3068] brought[H5414] the fear[H6343] of him upon all nations[H1471].
