* Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David , and cedar trees , with masons and carpenters , to build him a house . * So David knew that the LORD had established him as king over Israel , for his kingdom was highly exalted for the sake of His people Israel . * Then David took more wives in Jerusalem , and David begot more sons and daughters . * And these are the names of his children whom he had in Jerusalem : Shammua , Shobab , Nathan , Solomon , * Ibhar , Elishua , Elpelet , * Nogah , Nepheg , Japhia , * Elishama , Beeliada , and Eliphelet . * Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel , all the Philistines went up to search for David . And David heard of it and went out against them . * Then the Philistines went and made a raid on the Valley of Rephaim . * And David inquired of God , saying , "Shall I go up against the Philistines ? Will You deliver them into my hand ?" The LORD said to him , "Go up , for I will deliver them into your hand ." * So they went up to Baal Perazim , and David defeated them there . Then David said , "God has broken through my enemies by my hand like a breakthrough of water ." Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim . * And when they left their gods there , David gave a commandment , and they were burned with fire . * Then the Philistines once again made a raid on the valley . * Therefore David inquired again of God , and God said to him , "You shall not go up after them ; circle around them , and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees . * And it shall be , when you hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees , then you shall go out to battle , for God has gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines ." * So David did as God commanded him , and they drove back the army of the Philistines from Gibeon as far as Gezer . * Then the fame of David went out into all lands , and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations .
