1 # Now Hiram <02438> (8676) <02361> king <04428> of Tyre <06865> sent <07971> (8799) messengers <04397> to David <01732>, and timber <06086> of cedars <0730>, with masons <07023> and carpenters <02796>, to build <01129> (8800) him an house <01004>.
2 And David <01732> perceived <03045> (8799) that the LORD <03068> had confirmed <03559> (8689) him king <04428> over Israel <03478>, for his kingdom <04438> was lifted up <05375> (8738) on high <04605>, because of his people <05971> Israel <03478>.
3 And David <01732> took <03947> (8799) more wives <0802> at Jerusalem <03389>: and David <01732> begat <03205> (8686) more sons <01121> and daughters <01323>.
4 Now these are the names <08034> of his children <03205> (8803) which he had in Jerusalem <03389>; Shammua <08051>, and Shobab <07727>, Nathan <05416>, and Solomon <08010>,
5 And Ibhar <02984>, and Elishua <0474>, and Elpalet <0467>,
6 And Nogah <05052>, and Nepheg <05298>, and Japhia <03309>,
7 And Elishama <0476>, and Beeliada <01182>, and Eliphalet <0467>.
8 # And when the Philistines <06430> heard <08085> (8799) that David <01732> was anointed <04886> (8738) king <04428> over all Israel <03478>, all the Philistines <06430> went up <05927> (8799) to seek <01245> (8763) David <01732>. And David <01732> heard <08085> (8799) of it, and went out <03318> (8799) against <06440> them.
9 And the Philistines <06430> came <0935> (8804) and spread <06584> (8799) themselves in the valley <06010> of Rephaim <07497>.
10 And David <01732> enquired <07592> (8799) of God <0430>, saying <0559> (8800), Shall I go up <05927> (8799) against the Philistines <06430>? and wilt thou deliver <05414> (8804) them into mine hand <03027>? And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Go up <05927> (8798); for I will deliver <05414> (8804) them into thine hand <03027>.
11 So they came up <05927> (8799) to Baalperazim <01188>; and David <01732> smote <05221> (8686) them there. Then David <01732> said <0559> (8799), God <0430> hath broken in <06555> (8804) upon mine enemies <0341> (8802) by mine hand <03027> like the breaking forth <06556> of waters <04325>: therefore they called <07121> (8804) the name <08034> of that place <04725> Baalperazim <01188>.
12 And when they had left <05800> (8799) their gods <0430> there, David <01732> gave a commandment <0559> (8799), and they were burned <08313> (8735) with fire <0784>.
13 And the Philistines <06430> yet again <03254> (8686) spread themselves abroad <06584> (8799) in the valley <06010>.
14 Therefore David <01732> enquired <07592> (8799) again of God <0430>; and God <0430> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Go not up <05927> (8799) after <0310> them; turn away <05437> (8685) from them, and come <0935> (8804) upon them over against <04136> the mulberry trees <01057>.
15 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear <08085> (8800) a sound <06963> of going <06807> in the tops <07218> of the mulberry trees <01057>, that then thou shalt go out <03318> (8799) to battle <04421>: for God <0430> is gone forth <03318> (8804) before <06440> thee to smite <05221> (8687) the host <04264> of the Philistines <06430>.
16 David <01732> therefore did <06213> (8799) as God <0430> commanded <06680> (8765) him: and they smote <05221> (8686) the host <04264> of the Philistines <06430> from Gibeon <01391> even to Gazer <01507>.
17 And the fame <08034> of David <01732> went out <03318> (8799) into all lands <0776>; and the LORD <03068> brought <05414> (8804) the fear <06343> of him upon all nations <01471>.
