Therefore a long strife was made betwixt the house of David and the house of Saul; and David profited and ever[more] was stronger than himself, in comparison of time passed, for his power increased ever, but the house of Saul decreased each day. (And so for a long time there was strife between the house of David and the house of Saul; and David grew in strength, that is, as more time that passed, the more his power increased, but the house of Saul grew ever weaker.)

And sons were born to David in Hebron; and his first begotten son was Amnon, of Ahinoam of Jezreel;
3
and after him was Chileab, of Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel; and the third was Absalom, the son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur;
4
and the fourth was Adonijah, the son of Haggith; and the fifth was Shephatiah, the son of Abital;
5
and the sixth was Ithream, of Eglah, the wife of David. These (sons) were born to David in Hebron.
