* And Churam the king of Tyre sent messengers to David , and trees of cedars , and masons and carpenters , to build him a house . * And David felt conscious that the Lord had established him as king over Israel ; for his kingdom was exalted on high , because of his people Israel . * And David took yet more wives at Jerusalem ; and David begat more sons and daughters . * And these are the names of the children that he had in Jerusalem : Shammua ’, and Shobab , Nathan , and Solomon , * And Yibchar , and Elishua ’, and Elpalet , * And Nogah , and Nepheg , and Yaphia ’, * And Elishama ’, and Be ’elyada ’, and Eliphalet . * But when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel , all the Philistines came up to seek David : and David heard of it , and went out against them . * And the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim . * And David asked counsel of God , saying , Shall I go up against the Philistines ? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand ? And the Lord said unto him , Go up ; and I will deliver them into thy hand . * And they came up to Ba ’al –perazim ; and David smote them there . Then David said , God hath broken down my enemies through my hand as a breach by water : therefore they called the name of that place Ba ’al –perazim . * And they left behind there their gods , and David gave the order , and they were burnt with fire . * And the Philistines once again , and spread themselves out in the valley . * And David asked again counsel of God ; and God said unto him , Thou shalt not go up after them : turn about from them , and come upon them opposite the mulberry –trees , * And it shall be , when thou hearest the sound of walking on the tops of the mulberry –trees , that then thou shalt go out to battle ; for God will be gone forth before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines . * And David did as God had commanded him ; and they smote the camp of the Philistines from Gib ’on as far as Gezer . * And the fame of David went out into all the lands ; and the Lord laid the dread of him upon all the nations .
