Seeker Overlay ON

* Now Hiram , king of Tyre , sent messengers to David , and timber of cedars , with masons and carpenters , to build him a house . * And David , understanding that the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel and had lifted up his kingdom above his people Israel , * took more wives at Jerusalem ; and David begat more sons and daughters . * Now these [are ] the names of [his ] children which were born unto him in Jerusalem : Shammua , Shobab , Nathan , Solomon , * Ibhar , Elishua , Elpalet , * Nogah , Nepheg , Japhia , * Elishama , Beeliada , and Eliphalet . * And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel , all the Philistines went up to seek David . And David heard [of it ] and went out against them . * And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim . * And David enquired of God , saying , Shall I go up against the Philistines ? Wilt thou deliver them into my hand ? And the LORD said unto him , Go up , for I will deliver them into thy hands . * So they came up to Baalperazim , and David smote them there . Then David said , God has broken in upon my enemies by my hand like the breaking forth of waters . Therefore , they called the name of that place Baalperazim . * And they left their gods there , and David gave a commandment , and they were burned with fire . * And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley . * Therefore , David enquired again of God ; and God said unto him , Do not go up after them ; go around them to come upon them over against the mulberry trees ; * and it shall be , when thou shalt hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees , [that ] then thou shalt go out to battle ; for God shall go forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines . * David , therefore , did as God commanded him , and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer . * And the fame of David went out into all those lands , and the LORD put the fear of him upon all the Gentiles .:
