Now Hiram
king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber
of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build
him an house.
02 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.
03 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and
David begat more sons and daughters.
04 Now these are the names of his children which
he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan,
and Solomon,
05 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
06 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
07 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
08 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.
09 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.
