1 # Then came <0935> (8799) all the tribes <07626> of Israel <03478> to David <01732> unto Hebron <02275> , and spake <0559> (8799), saying <0559> (8800), Behold, we are thy bone <06106> and thy flesh <01320>.
2 Also in time past <0865> <08032>, when Saul <07586> was king <04428> over us, thou wast he that leddest out <03318> (8688) and broughtest in <0935> (8688) Israel <03478>: and the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) to thee, Thou shalt feed <07462> (8799) my people <05971> Israel <03478>, and thou shalt be a captain <05057> over Israel <03478>.
3 So all the elders <02205> of Israel <03478> came <0935> (8799) to the king <04428> to Hebron <02275> ; and king <04428> David <01732> made <03772> (8799) a league <01285> with them in Hebron <02275> before <06440> the LORD <03068>: and they anointed <04886> (8799) David <01732> king <04428> over Israel <03478>.
4 David <01732> was thirty <07970> years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800) , and he reigned <04427> (8804) forty <0705> years <08141>.
5 In Hebron <02275> he reigned <04427> (8804) over Judah <03063> seven <07651> years <08141> and six <08337> months <02320>: and in Jerusalem <03389> he reigned <04427> (8804) thirty <07970> and three <07969> years <08141> over all Israel <03478> and Judah <03063>.
6 # And the king <04428> and his men <0582> went <03212> (8799) to Jerusalem <03389> unto the Jebusites <02983> , the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the land <0776>: which spake <0559> (8799) unto David <01732>, saying <0559> (8800), Except thou take away <05493> (8687) the blind <05787> and the lame <06455>, thou shalt not come in <0935> (8799) hither: thinking <0559> (8800), David <01732> cannot come in <0935> (8799) hither.
7 Nevertheless David <01732> took <03920> (8799) the strong hold <04686> of Zion <06726>: the same is the city <05892> of David <01732>.
8 And David <01732> said <0559> (8799) on that day <03117>, Whosoever getteth up <05060> (8799) to the gutter <06794>, and smiteth <05221> (8688) the Jebusites <02983>, and the lame <06455> and the blind <05787>, that are hated <08130> (8803) of David's <01732> soul <05315>, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said <0559> (8799) , The blind <05787> and the lame <06455> shall not come <0935> (8799) into the house <01004>.
9 So David <01732> dwelt <03427> (8799) in the fort <04686>, and called <07121> (8799) it the city <05892> of David <01732>. And David <01732> built <01129> (8799) round about <05439> from Millo <04407> and inward <01004>.
10 And David <01732> went <03212> (8799) on <01980> (8800), and grew great <01419>, and the LORD <03068> God <0430> of hosts <06635> was with him.
11 # And Hiram <02438> king <04428> of Tyre <06865> sent <07971> (8799) messengers <04397> to David <01732>, and cedar <0730> trees <06086>, and carpenters <02796>, and masons <07023> <068>: and they built <01129> (8799) David <01732> an house <01004>.
12 And David <01732> perceived <03045> (8799) that the LORD <03068> had established <03559> (8689) him king <04428> over Israel <03478>, and that he had exalted <05375> (8765) his kingdom <04467> for his people <05971> Israel's <03478> sake.
13 And David <01732> took <03947> (8799) him more concubines <06370> and wives <0802> out of Jerusalem <03389>, after <0310> he was come <0935> (8800) from Hebron <02275>: and there were yet sons <01121> and daughters <01323> born <03205> (8735) to David <01732>.
14 And these be the names <08034> of those that were born <03209> unto him in Jerusalem <03389>; Shammua <08051>, and Shobab <07727>, and Nathan <05416>, and Solomon <08010>,
15 Ibhar <02984> also, and Elishua <0474>, and Nepheg <05298>, and Japhia <03309>,
16 And Elishama <0476>, and Eliada <0450>, and Eliphalet <0467>.
17 # But when the Philistines <06430> heard <08085> (8799) that they had anointed <04886> (8804) David <01732> king <04428> over Israel <03478>, all the Philistines <06430> came up <05927> (8799) to seek <01245> (8763) David <01732>; and David <01732> heard <08085> (8799) of it, and went down <03381> (8799) to the hold <04686> .
18 The Philistines <06430> also came <0935> (8804) and spread <05203> (8735) themselves in the valley <06010> of Rephaim <07497>.
19 And David <01732> enquired <07592> (8799) of the LORD <03068>, saying <0559> (8800), Shall I go up <05927> (8799) to the Philistines <06430>? wilt thou deliver <05414> (8799) them into mine hand <03027>? And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto David <01732>, Go up <05927> (8798): for I will doubtless <05414> (8800) deliver <05414> (8799) the Philistines <06430> into thine hand <03027>.
20 And David <01732> came <0935> (8799) to Baalperazim <01188>, and David <01732> smote <05221> (8686) them there, and said <0559> (8799), The LORD <03068> hath broken forth <06555> (8804) upon mine enemies <0341> (8802) before <06440> me, as the breach <06556> of waters <04325>. Therefore he called <07121> (8804) the name <08034> of that place <04725> Baalperazim <01188>.
21 And there they left <05800> (8799) their images <06091>, and David <01732> and his men <0582> burned <05375> (8799) them.
22 And the Philistines <06430> came up <05927> (8800) yet again <03254> (8686), and spread <05203> (8735) themselves in the valley <06010> of Rephaim <07497>.
23 And when David <01732> enquired <07592> (8799) of the LORD <03068>, he said <0559> (8799), Thou shalt not go up <05927> (8799); but fetch a compass <05437> (8685) behind <0310> them, and come <0935> (8804) upon them over against <04136> the mulberry trees <01057>.
24 And let it be, when thou hearest <08085> (8800) the sound <06963> of a going <06807> in the tops <07218> of the mulberry trees <01057>, that then thou shalt bestir <02782> (8799) thyself: for then shall the LORD <03068> go out <03318> (8804) before <06440> thee, to smite <05221> (8687) the host <04264> of the Philistines <06430>.
25 And David <01732> did so <06213> (8799), as the LORD <03068> had commanded <06680> (8765) him; and smote <05221> (8686) the Philistines <06430> from Geba <01387> until thou come <0935> (8800) to Gazer <01507>.
