And David became greater and greater, for the Lord, the God of hosts, was with him.
11
King Hiram of Tyre sent messengers to David, along with cedar trees, and carpenters and masons who built David a house.
12
David then perceived that the Lord had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.
13
In Jerusalem, after he came from Hebron, David took more concubines and wives; and more sons and daughters were born to David.
14
These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15
Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
16
Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
17
When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, all the Philistines went up in search of David; but David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.
18
Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the valley of Rephaim.
19
David inquired of the Lord, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you give them into my hand?" The Lord said to David, "Go up; for I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand."
20
So David came to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there. He said, "The Lord has burst forth against my enemies before me, like a bursting flood." Therefore that place is called Baal-perazim.
