Dual Panel1Now Hiram<2438> king<4428> of Tyre<6865> sent<7971> messengers<4397> to David<1732> with cedar<730> trees<6086>, masons<2796><7023> and carpenters<2796><6086>, to build<1129> a house<1004> for him.
2And David<1732> realized<3045> that the LORD<3068> had established<3559> him as king<4428> over<5921> Israel<3478>, and that his kingdom<4438> was highly<4605> exalted<5375>, for the sake<5668> of His people<5971> Israel<3478>.
3Then David<1732> took<3947> more<5750> wives<802> at Jerusalem<3389>, and David<1732> became<3205> the father<3205> of more<5750> sons<1121> and daughters<1323>.
4These<428> are the names<8034> of the children<3205> born<3205> to him in Jerusalem<3389>: Shammua<8051>, Shobab<7727>, Nathan<5416>, Solomon<8010>,
5Ibhar<2984>, Elishua<474>, Elpelet<467>,
6Nogah<5052>, Nepheg<5298>, Japhia<3309>,
7Elishama<476>, Beeliada<1182> and Eliphelet<467>.
8When the Philistines<6430> heard<8085> that David<1732> had been anointed<4886> king<4428> over<5921> all<3605> Israel<3478>, all<3605> the Philistines<6430> went<5927> up in search<1245> of David<1732>; and David<1732> heard<8085> of it and went<3318> out against<6440> them.
9Now the Philistines<6430> had come<935> and made<6584> a raid<6584> in the valley<6010> of Rephaim<7497>.
10David<1732> inquired<7592> of God<430>, saying<559>, "Shall I go<5927> up against<5921> the Philistines<6430>? And will You give<5414> them into my hand<3027>?" Then the LORD<3068> said<559> to him, "Go<5927> up, for I will give<5414> them into your hand<3027>."
11So they came<5927> up to Baal-perazim<1188>, and David<1732> defeated<5221> them there<8033>; and David<1732> said<559>, "God<430> has broken<6555> through<6555> my enemies<340> by my hand<3027>, like the breakthrough<6556> of waters<4325>." Therefore<5921><3651> they named<7121><8034> that place<4725> Baal-perazim<1188>.
12They abandoned<5800> their gods<430> there<8033>; so David<1732> gave<559> the order<559> and they were burned<8313> with fire<784>.
13The Philistines<6430> made<6584> yet<5750> another<3254> raid<6584> in the valley<6010>.
14David<1732> inquired<7592> again<5750> of God<430>, and God<430> said<559> to him, "You shall not go<5927> up after<310> them; circle<5437> around<5437> behind<4480><5921> them and come<935> at them in front<4136> of the balsam<1057> trees<1057>.
15"It shall be when you hear<8085> the sound<6963> of marching<6807> in the tops<7218> of the balsam<1057> trees<1057>, then<227> you shall go<3318> out to battle<4421>, for God<430> will have gone<3318> out before<6440> you to strike<5221> the army<4264> of the Philistines<6430>."
16David<1732> did<6213> just<3512> as God<430> had commanded<6680> him, and they struck<5221> down<5221> the army<4264> of the Philistines<6430> from Gibeon<1391> even as far<5704> as Gezer<1507>.
17Then the fame<8034> of David<1732> went<3318> out into all<3605> the lands<776>; and the LORD<3068> brought<5414> the fear<6343> of him on all<3605> the nations<1471>.
