Now
Hiram
king
of
Tyre
sent
messengers
to
David,
and
timber
of
cedars,
with
masons
and
carpenters,
to
build
him
an
house.
2
And
David
perceived
that
the
LORD
had
confirmed
him
king
over
Israel,
for
his
kingdom
was
lifted
up
on
high,
because
of
his
people
Israel.
3
And
David
took
more
wives
at
Jerusalem:
and
David
begat
more
sons
and
daughters.
4
Now
these
[are]
the
names
of
[his]
children
which
he
had
in
Jerusalem;
Shammua,
and
Shobab,
Nathan,
and
Solomon,
5
And
Ibhar,
and
Elishua,
and
Elpalet,
6
And
Nogah,
and
Nepheg,
and
Japhia,
7
And
Elishama,
and
Beeliada,
and
Eliphalet.
8
And
when
the
Philistines
heard
that
David
was
anointed
king
over
all
Israel,
all
the
Philistines
went
up
to
seek
David.
And
David
heard
[of
it],
and
went
out
against
them.
9
And
the
Philistines
came
and
spread
themselves
in
the
valley
of
Rephaim.
10
And
David
enquired
of
God,
saying,
Shall
I
go
up
against
the
Philistines?
and
wilt
thou
deliver
them
into
mine
hand?
And
the
LORD
said
unto
him,
Go
up;
for
I
will
deliver
them
into
thine
hand.
11
So
they
came
up
to
Baalperazim;
and
David
smote
them
there.
Then
David
said,
God
hath
broken
in
upon
mine
enemies
by
mine
hand
like
the
breaking
forth
of
waters:
therefore
they
called
the
name
of
that
place
Baalperazim.
12
And
when
they
had
left
their
gods
there,
David
gave
a
commandment,
and
they
were
burned
with
fire.
13
And
the
Philistines
yet
again
spread
themselves
abroad
in
the
valley.
14
Therefore
David
enquired
again
of
God;
and
God
said
unto
him,
Go
not
up
after
them;
turn
away
from
them,
and
come
upon
them
over
against
the
mulberry
trees.
15
And
it
shall
be,
when
thou
shalt
hear
a
sound
of
going
in
the
tops
of
the
mulberry
trees,
[that]
then
thou
shalt
go
out
to
battle:
for
God
is
gone
forth
before
thee
to
smite
the
host
of
the
Philistines.
16
David
therefore
did
as
God
commanded
him:
and
they
smote
the
host
of
the
Philistines
from
Gibeon
even
to
Gazer.
17
And
the
fame
of
David
went
out
into
all
lands;
and
the
LORD
brought
the
fear
of
him
upon
all
nations.
