King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Then came[H935] all[H3605] the tribes[H7626] of Israel[H3478] to[H413] David[H1732] unto Hebron,[H2275] and spoke,[H559] saying,[H559] Behold,[H2009] we[H587] are thy bone[H6106] and thy flesh.[H1320]

2. Also[H1571] in time past,[H865] [H8032] when Saul[H7586] was[H1961] king[H4428] over[H5921] us, thou[H859] wast[H1961] he that leddest out[H3318] and broughtest[H935] [H853] in Israel:[H3478] and the LORD[H3068] said[H559] to thee Thou[H859] shalt feed[H7462] [H853] my people[H5971] [H853] Israel,[H3478] and thou[H859] shalt be[H1961] a captain[H5057] over[H5921] Israel.[H3478]

3. So all[H3605] the elders[H2205] of Israel[H3478] came[H935] to[H413] the king[H4428] to Hebron;[H2275] and king[H4428] David[H1732] made[H3772] a league[H1285] with them in Hebron[H2275] before[H6440] the LORD:[H3068] and they anointed[H4886] [H853] David[H1732] king[H4428] over[H5921] Israel.[H3478]

4. David[H1732] was thirty[H7970] years[H8141] old[H1121] when he began to reign,[H4427] and he reigned[H4427] forty[H705] years.[H8141]

5. In Hebron[H2275] he reigned[H4427] over[H5921] Judah[H3063] seven[H7651] years[H8141] and six[H8337] months:[H2320] and in Jerusalem[H3389] he reigned[H4427] thirty[H7970] and three[H7969] years[H8141] over[H5921] all[H3605] Israel[H3478] and Judah.[H3063]

6. And the king[H4428] and his men[H376] went[H1980] to Jerusalem[H3389] unto[H413] the Jebusites,[H2983] the inhabitants[H3427] of the land:[H776] which spoke[H559] unto David,[H1732] saying,[H559] Except[H3588] [H518] thou take away[H5493] the blind[H5787] and the lame,[H6455] thou shalt not[H3808] come in[H935] hither:[H2008] thinking,[H559] David[H1732] cannot[H3808] come in[H935] hither.[H2008]

7. Nevertheless David[H1732] took[H3920] [H853] the stronghold[H4686] of Zion:[H6726] the same[H1931] is the city[H5892] of David.[H1732]

8. And David[H1732] said[H559] on that[H1931] day,[H3117] Whosoever[H3605] getteth up[H5060] to the gutter,[H6794] and smiteth[H5221] the Jebusites,[H2983] and the lame[H6455] and the blind,[H5787] that are hated[H8130] of David's[H1732] soul,[H5315] he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore[H5921] [H3651] they said,[H559] The blind[H5787] and the lame[H6455] shall not[H3808] come[H935] into[H413] the house.[H1004]

9. So David[H1732] dwelt[H3427] in the fort,[H4686] and called[H7121] it the city[H5892] of David.[H1732] And David[H1732] built[H1129] round about[H5439] from[H4480] Millo[H4407] and inward.[H1004]

10. And David[H1732] went on,[H1980] [H1980] and grew great,[H1419] and the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of hosts[H6635] was with[H5973] him.

11. And Hiram[H2438] king[H4428] of Tyre[H6865] sent[H7971] messengers[H4397] to[H413] David,[H1732] and cedar[H730] trees,[H6086] and carpenters,[H2796] [H6086] and masons:[H2796] [H18] [H7023] and they built[H1129] David[H1732] a house.[H1004]

12. And David[H1732] perceived[H3045] that[H3588] the LORD[H3068] had established[H3559] him king[H4428] over[H5921] Israel,[H3478] and that[H3588] he had exalted[H5375] his kingdom[H4467] for his people[H5971] Israel's[H3478] sake.[H5668]

13. And David[H1732] took[H3947] him more[H5750] concubines[H6370] and wives[H802] out of Jerusalem,[H4480] [H3389] after[H310] he was come[H935] from Hebron:[H4480] [H2275] and there were yet[H5750] sons[H1121] and daughters[H1323] born[H3205] to David.[H1732]

14. And these[H428] be the names[H8034] of those that were born[H3209] unto him in Jerusalem;[H3389] Shammua,[H8051] and Shobab,[H7727] and Nathan,[H5416] and Solomon,[H8010]

15. Ibhar[H2984] also, and Elishua,[H474] and Nepheg,[H5298] and Japhia,[H3309]

16. And Elishama,[H476] and Eliada,[H450] and Eliphalet.[H467]

17. But when the Philistines[H6430] heard[H8085] that[H3588] they had anointed[H4886] [H853] David[H1732] king[H4428] over[H5921] Israel,[H3478] all[H3605] the Philistines[H6430] came up[H5927] to seek[H1245] [H853] David;[H1732] and David[H1732] heard[H8085] of it, and went down[H3381] to[H413] the hold.[H4686]

18. The Philistines[H6430] also came[H935] and spread themselves[H5203] in the valley[H6010] of Rephaim.[H7497]

19. And David[H1732] inquired[H7592] of the LORD,[H3068] saying,[H559] Shall I go up[H5927] to[H413] the Philistines?[H6430] wilt thou deliver[H5414] them into mine hand?[H3027] And the LORD[H3068] said[H559] unto[H413] David,[H1732] Go up:[H5927] for[H3588] I will doubtless deliver[H5414] [H5414] [H853] the Philistines[H6430] into thine hand.[H3027]

20. And David[H1732] came[H935] to Baal-perazim,[H1188] and David[H1732] smote[H5221] them there,[H8033] and said,[H559] The LORD[H3068] hath broken forth upon[H6555] [H853] mine enemies[H341] before[H6440] me, as the breach[H6556] of waters.[H4325] Therefore[H5921] [H3651] he called[H7121] the name[H8034] of that[H1931] place[H4725] Baal-perazim.[H1188]

21. And there[H8033] they left[H5800] [H853] their images,[H6091] and David[H1732] and his men[H376] burned[H5375] them.

22. And the Philistines[H6430] came up[H5927] yet[H5750] again,[H3254] and spread themselves[H5203] in the valley[H6010] of Rephaim.[H7497]

23. And when David[H1732] inquired[H7592] of the LORD,[H3068] he said,[H559] Thou shalt not[H3808] go up;[H5927] but fetch a compass[H5437] [H413] behind[H310] them, and come[H935] upon them over against[H4480] [H4136] the mulberry trees.[H1057]

24. And let it be,[H1961] when thou hearest[H8085] [H853] the sound[H6963] of a going[H6807] in the tops[H7218] of the mulberry trees,[H1057] that then[H227] thou shalt bestir[H2782] thyself: for[H3588] then[H227] shall the LORD[H3068] go out[H3318] before[H6440] thee, to smite[H5221] the host[H4264] of the Philistines.[H6430]

25. And David[H1732] did[H6213] so,[H3651] as[H834] the LORD[H3068] had commanded[H6680] him; and smote[H5221] [H853] the Philistines[H6430] from Geba[H4480] [H1387] until thou come[H935] to Gazer.[H1507]
