1King <04428> Hiram <02438> of Tyre <06865> sent <07971> messengers <04397> to <0413> David <01732>, along with cedar <0730> logs <06086>, stonemasons <07023> <02796>, and carpenters <06086> <02796> to build <01129> a palace <01004> for him.
2David <01732> realized <03045> that <03588> the Lord <03068> had established <03559> him as king <04428> over <05921> Israel <03478> and that <03588> he had elevated <04605> <05375> his kingdom <04438> for the sake of <05668> his people <05971> Israel <03478>.
3In Jerusalem <03389> David <01732> married <03947> more <05750> wives <0802> and fathered <03205> more <05750> sons <01121> and daughters <01323>.
4These <0428> are the names <08034> of children born <03205> to him in Jerusalem <03389>: Shammua <08051>, Shobab <07727>, Nathan <05416>, Solomon <08010>,
5Ibhar <02984>, Elishua <0474>, Elpelet <0467>,
6Nogah <05052>, Nepheg <05298>, Japhia <03309>,
7Elishama <0476>, Beeliada <01182>, and Eliphelet <0467>.
8When the Philistines <06430> heard <08085> that <03588> David <01732> had been anointed <04886> king <04428> of <05921> all <03605> Israel <03478>, all <03605> the Philistines <06430> marched up <05927> to confront <01245> him. When David <01732> heard <08085> about it, he <01732> marched out <03318> against <06440> them.
9Now the Philistines <06430> had come <0935> and raided <06584> the Valley <06010> of Rephaim <07497>.
10David <01732> asked <07592> God <0430>, “Should I march up <05927> against <05921> the Philistines <06430>? Will you hand <03027> <05414> them over <03027> <05414> to me?” The Lord <03068> said <0559> to him, “March up <05927>! I will hand <03027> <05414> them over <03027> <05414> to you!”
11So they marched against <05927> Baal Perazim <01188> and David <01732> defeated <05221> them there <08033>. David <01732> said <0559>, “Using me as his instrument, God <0430> has burst out <06555> against my enemies <0341> like water <04325> bursts out <06556>.” So that <03651> place <04725> is called <08034> <07121> Baal Perazim <01188>.
12The Philistines left <05800> their idols <0430> there <08033>, so David <01732> ordered <0559> that they be burned <08313>.
13The Philistines <06430> again <05750> <03254> raided <06584> the valley <06010>.
14So David <01732> again <05750> asked <07592> God <0430> what he should do. This time God <0430> told <0559> him, “Don’t <03808> march up <05927> after <0310> them; circle around <05437> them and come <0935> against <05921> them <01992> in front of <04136> the trees <01057>.
15When <01961> you hear <08085> the sound <06963> of marching <06807> in the tops <07218> of the trees <01057>, then <0227> attack <04421> <03318>. For <03588> at that moment the Lord <0430> is going <03318> before <06440> you to strike down <05221> the army <04264> of the Philistines <06430>.”
16David <01732> did <06213> just as <0834> God <0430> commanded <06680> him, and they struck down <05221> the Philistine <06430> army <04264> from Gibeon <01391> to <05704> Gezer <01507>.
17So David <01732> became <03318> famous <08034> in all <03605> the lands <0776>; the Lord <03068> caused <05414> all <03605> the nations <01471> to fear <06343> him.
