Now Hiram{H2438}{(H8676)}{H2361} king{H4428} of Tyre{H6865} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} messengers{H4397} to David{H1732}, and timber{H6086} of cedars{H730}, with masons{H7023} and carpenters{H2796}, to build{H1129}{(H8800)} him an house{H1004}.

And David{H1732} perceived{H3045}{(H8799)} that the LORD{H3068} had confirmed{H3559}{(H8689)} him king{H4428} over Israel{H3478}, for his kingdom{H4438} was lifted up{H5375}{(H8738)} on high{H4605}, because of his people{H5971} Israel{H3478}.

And David{H1732} took{H3947}{(H8799)} more wives{H802} at Jerusalem{H3389}: and David{H1732} begat{H3205}{(H8686)} more sons{H1121} and daughters{H1323}.

Now these are the names{H8034} of his children{H3205}{(H8803)} which he had in Jerusalem{H3389}; Shammua{H8051}, and Shobab{H7727}, Nathan{H5416}, and Solomon{H8010},

And Ibhar{H2984}, and Elishua{H474}, and Elpalet{H467},

And Nogah{H5052}, and Nepheg{H5298}, and Japhia{H3309},

And Elishama{H476}, and Beeliada{H1182}, and Eliphalet{H467}.

And when the Philistines{H6430} heard{H8085}{(H8799)} that David{H1732} was anointed{H4886}{(H8738)} king{H4428} over all Israel{H3478}, all the Philistines{H6430} went up{H5927}{(H8799)} to seek{H1245}{(H8763)} David{H1732}. And David{H1732} heard{H8085}{(H8799)} of it, and went out{H3318}{(H8799)} against{H6440} them.

And the Philistines{H6430} came{H935}{(H8804)} and spread{H6584}{(H8799)} themselves in the valley{H6010} of Rephaim{H7497}.

And David{H1732} enquired{H7592}{(H8799)} of God{H430}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Shall I go up{H5927}{(H8799)} against the Philistines{H6430}? and wilt thou deliver{H5414}{(H8804)} them into mine hand{H3027}? And the LORD{H3068} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Go up{H5927}{(H8798)}; for I will deliver{H5414}{(H8804)} them into thine hand{H3027}.

So they came up{H5927}{(H8799)} to Baalperazim{H1188}; and David{H1732} smote{H5221}{(H8686)} them there. Then David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)}, God{H430} hath broken in{H6555}{(H8804)} upon mine enemies{H341}{(H8802)} by mine hand{H3027} like the breaking forth{H6556} of waters{H4325}: therefore they called{H7121}{(H8804)} the name{H8034} of that place{H4725} Baalperazim{H1188}.

And when they had left{H5800}{(H8799)} their gods{H430} there, David{H1732} gave a commandment{H559}{(H8799)}, and they were burned{H8313}{(H8735)} with fire{H784}.

And the Philistines{H6430} yet again{H3254}{(H8686)} spread themselves abroad{H6584}{(H8799)} in the valley{H6010}.

Therefore David{H1732} enquired{H7592}{(H8799)} again of God{H430}; and God{H430} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Go not up{H5927}{(H8799)} after{H310} them; turn away{H5437}{(H8685)} from them, and come{H935}{(H8804)} upon them over against{H4136} the mulberry trees{H1057}.

And it shall be, when thou shalt hear{H8085}{(H8800)} a sound{H6963} of going{H6807} in the tops{H7218} of the mulberry trees{H1057}, that then thou shalt go out{H3318}{(H8799)} to battle{H4421}: for God{H430} is gone forth{H3318}{(H8804)} before{H6440} thee to smite{H5221}{(H8687)} the host{H4264} of the Philistines{H6430}.

David{H1732} therefore did{H6213}{(H8799)} as God{H430} commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} him: and they smote{H5221}{(H8686)} the host{H4264} of the Philistines{H6430} from Gibeon{H1391} even to Gazer{H1507}.

And the fame{H8034} of David{H1732} went out{H3318}{(H8799)} into all lands{H776}; and the LORD{H3068} brought{H5414}{(H8804)} the fear{H6343} of him upon all nations{H1471}.
