  • 2 Sam 5:4-9 : 4 David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned for forty years. 5 In Hebron, he reigned over Judah for seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem, he reigned over all Israel and Judah for thirty-three years. 6 The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who said to David, "You will not come in here; even the blind and the lame can stop you." They thought, "David cannot get in here." 7 But David captured the stronghold of Zion, which is now the City of David. 8 On that day, David said, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites should attack via the water shaft to reach the lame and the blind, who are despised by David." Because of this, it is said, "The blind and the lame will not enter the house." 9 David took up residence in the stronghold and named it the City of David. He built it up all around, from the Millo inward. 10 David continued to grow in power, and the LORD God of hosts was with him. 11 Hiram, king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, along with cedar logs, carpenters, and stonemasons, and they built a palace for David. 12 Then David knew that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel. 13 After coming from Hebron, David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him. 14 These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon, 15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia, 16 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet. 17 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over Israel, they went up in full force to search for him. But David heard of it and went down to the stronghold. 18 The Philistines came and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim. 19 David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Should I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?" The LORD said to David, "Go up, for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your hand." 20 So David went to Baal Perazim, where he defeated them. He said, "The LORD has broken through my enemies before me like a rushing flood." Therefore, that place is called Baal Perazim. 21 The Philistines abandoned their idols there, and David and his men carried them away. 22 The Philistines came up again and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim. 23 When David inquired of the LORD, He said, "Do not go straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees. 24 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, act quickly, because that will mean the LORD has gone out ahead of you to strike the Philistine army." 25 So David did as the LORD commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines all the way from Geba to Gezer.
  • 2 Sam 7:11-17 : 11 from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel. And I will give you rest from all your enemies.

When he sins, I will discipline him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the sons of men. 15 But my steadfast love will not depart from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever. 17 Nathan spoke all these words and this entire vision to David.

He made them lie down on the ground and measured them with a rope. He measured two lengths of rope to put them to death and one full length to let them live, and the Moabites became servants to David, bringing him tribute. 3 David defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to restore his control over the Euphrates River. 4 From Hadadezer, David captured a thousand chariots, seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand foot soldiers. He hamstrung all the chariot horses but spared enough horses for a hundred chariots. 5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand of them. 6 Then David stationed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became his servants, bringing tribute. The LORD gave David victory wherever he went. 7 David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem. 8 From Betah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a great amount of bronze. 9 When Toi, king of Hamath, heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer, 10 he sent his son Joram to King David to ask for peace and to congratulate him on his victory over Hadadezer, who had been at war with Toi. Joram brought with him articles of silver, gold, and bronze. 11 King David dedicated these articles to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued: 12 from Aram, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, Amalek, and the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah. 13 David gained renown when he returned after striking down eighteen thousand Arameans in the Valley of Salt. 14 He stationed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites became David's subjects. The LORD gave David victory wherever he went.

  • Ps 44:2-6 : 2 O God, we have heard with our ears; our ancestors have recounted to us the deeds You performed in their days, in the times of old. 3 It was by Your hand that You drove out the nations and planted our ancestors.

But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You were pleased with them. 5 You are my King, O God; command victories for Jacob. 6 Through You we will push back our adversaries; in Your name we will trample those who rise against us.

  • Josh 6:1-9 : 1 Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the Israelites; no one was allowed to go out or come in. 2 Then the LORD said to Joshua, 'See, I have delivered Jericho, its king, and its mighty warriors into your hands.' 3 You and all the fighting men are to march around the city once. Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry seven ram’s horn trumpets in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, and the priests are to blow the trumpets. 5 When you hear the sound of a long blast from the ram’s horn, have all the people give a loud shout. Then the wall of the city will collapse, and the people will go up—each straight ahead. 6 So Joshua son of Nun summoned the priests and said to them, 'Take up the Ark of the Covenant, and have seven priests carry seven trumpets before it.' 7 And he commanded the people, 'Advance and march around the city, with the armed men going ahead of the ark of the LORD.' 8 After Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets before the LORD went forward, blowing their trumpets, and the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD followed them. 9 The armed guard marched ahead of the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard followed the ark, all while the trumpets were sounding. 10 But Joshua had commanded the people, 'Do not give a war cry, do not raise your voices, and do not say a word until the day I tell you to shout. Then shout!' 11 So he had the Ark of the LORD carried around the city, circling it once. Then the people returned to camp and spent the night there. 12 Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests carried the Ark of the LORD. 13 The seven priests carrying the seven ram's horn trumpets marched ahead of the Ark of the LORD, blowing the trumpets as they went. The armed guard went before them, and the rear guard followed behind the Ark of the LORD, all while the trumpets sounded continuously.
