And David went on and grew great, and the LORD God of the hosts
was with him.
11
And Hiram, king of Tyre, also sent messengers to David, and cedar trees and carpenters and masons, and they built David a house.
12
And David understood that the LORD had confirmed him as king over Israel and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.
13
And David took more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem after he had come from Hebron, and more sons and daughters were born unto David.
14
And these
were the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15
Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
16
Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphalet.

But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David, and David heard
of it and went down to the fortress.
18
The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. {Heb. of the giants}
19
Then David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? Wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the LORD said unto David, Go up, for I without a doubt will deliver the Philistines into thy hand.

And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there and said, The LORD has broken forth upon my enemies before me as the breach of waters. Therefore, he called the name of that place Baalperazim.
