And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, also carpenters and masons who built David a house.
12
And David 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
And David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, after he came from Hebron; and more sons and daughters were born to David.
14
And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Sham'mu-a, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15
Ibhar, Eli'shu-a, Nepheg, Japhi'a,
16
Eli'shama, Eli'ada, and Eliph'elet.
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 of it and went down to the stronghold.
18
Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the valley of Reph'aim.
19
And David inquired of the LORD, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Wilt thou give them into my hand?" And the LORD said to David, "Go up; for I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand."
20
And David came to Ba'al-pera'zim, and David defeated them there; and he said, "The LORD has broken through my enemies before me, like a bursting flood." Therefore the name of that place is called Ba'al-pera'zim.
21
And the Philistines left their idols there, and David and his men carried them away.
