1Now Hiram2438 2361 king4428 of Tyre6865 sent7971 messengers4397 to David1732, and timber6086 of cedars730, with masons7023 and carpenters2796, to build1129 him an house1004.
2And David1732 perceived3045 that the LORD3068 had confirmed3559 him king4428 over Israel3478, for his kingdom4438 was lifted up5375 on high4605, because of his people5971 Israel3478.
3And David1732 took3947 more wives802 at Jerusalem3389: and David1732 begat3205 more sons1121 and daughters1323.
4Now these are the names8034 of his children3205 which he had in Jerusalem3389; Shammua8051, and Shobab7727, Nathan5416, and Solomon8010,
5And Ibhar2984, and Elishua474, and Elpalet467,
6And Nogah5052, and Nepheg5298, and Japhia3309,
7And Elishama476, and Beeliada1182, and Eliphalet467.
8And when the Philistines6430 heard8085 that David1732 was anointed4886 king4428 over all Israel3478, all the Philistines6430 went up5927 to seek1245 David1732. And David1732 heard8085 of it, and went out3318 against6440 them.
9And the Philistines6430 came935 and spread6584 themselves in the valley6010 of Rephaim7497.
10And David1732 enquired7592 of God430, saying559, Shall I go up5927 against the Philistines6430? and wilt thou deliver5414 them into mine hand3027? And the LORD3068 said559 unto him, Go up5927; for I will deliver5414 them into thine hand3027.
11So they came up5927 to Baalperazim1188; and David1732 smote5221 them there. Then David1732 said559, God430 hath broken in6555 upon mine enemies341 by mine hand3027 like the breaking forth6556 of waters4325: therefore they called7121 the name8034 of that place4725 Baalperazim1188.
12And when they had left5800 their gods430 there, David1732 gave a commandment559, and they were burned8313 with fire784.
13And the Philistines6430 yet again3254 spread themselves abroad6584 in the valley6010.
14Therefore David1732 enquired7592 again of God430; and God430 said559 unto him, Go not up5927 after310 them; turn away5437 from them, and come935 upon them over against4136 the mulberry trees1057.
15And it shall be, when thou shalt hear8085 a sound6963 of going6807 in the tops7218 of the mulberry trees1057, that then thou shalt go out3318 to battle4421: for God430 is gone forth3318 before6440 thee to smite5221 the host4264 of the Philistines6430.
16David1732 therefore did6213 as God430 commanded6680 him: and they smote5221 the host4264 of the Philistines6430 from Gibeon1391 even to Gazer1507.
17And the fame8034 of David1732 went out3318 into all lands776; and the LORD3068 brought5414 the fear6343 of him upon all nations1471.
