  • 2 Sam 5:1-9 : 1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David in Hebron and said, Truly, we are your bone and your flesh. 2 In the past when Saul was king over us, it was you who went at the head of Israel when they went out or came in: and the Lord said to you, You are to be the keeper of my people Israel and their ruler. 3 So all the responsible men of Israel came to the king at Hebron; and King David made an agreement with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they put the holy oil on David and made him king over Israel. 4 David was thirty years old when he became king, and he was king for forty years, 5 Ruling over Judah in Hebron for seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem, over all Israel and Judah, for thirty-three years. 6 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the people of the land: and they said to David, You will not come in here, but the blind and the feeble-footed will keep you out; for they said, David will not be able to come in here. 7 But David took the strong place of Zion, which is the town of David. 8 And that day David said, Whoever makes an attack on the Jebusites, let him go up by the water-pipe, and put to death all the blind and feeble-footed who are hated by David. And this is why they say, The blind and feeble-footed may not come into the house. 9 So David took the strong tower for his living-place, naming it the town of David. And David took in hand the building of the town all round, starting from the Millo. 10 And David became greater and greater; for the Lord, the God of armies, was with him. 11 And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent men to David, with cedar-trees and woodworkers and stoneworkers: and they made David a house. 12 And David saw that the Lord had made his position safe as king over Israel, and that he had made his kingdom great because of his people Israel. 13 And David took more women and wives in Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron: and he had more sons and daughters. 14 These are the names of those whose birth took place in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab and Nathan and Solomon 15 And Ibhar and Elishua and Nepheg and Japhia 16 And Elishama and Eliada and Eliphelet.
