* Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David , and timber of cedars , with stone workers and carpenters , to build him an house . * And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel , for his kingdom was lifted up on high , because of his people Israel . * And David took more wives at Jerusalem : and David brings forth more sons and daughters . * Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem ; Shammua , and Shobab , Nathan , and Solomon , * And Ibhar , and Elishua , and Elpalet , * And Nogah , and Nepheg , and Japhia , * And Elishama , and 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 ? And will you deliver them into mine hand ? And the LORD said unto him , Go up ; for I will deliver them into yours hand . * So they came up to Baalperazim ; and David stroke them there . Then David said , God has broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking out of waters : therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim . * And when they had left their gods there , 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 , Go not up after them ; turn away from them , and come upon them opposite to the mulberry trees . * And it shall be , when you shall hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees , that then you shall go out to battle : for God is gone forth before you to strike the host of the Philistines . * David therefore did as God commanded him : and they stroke the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer . * And the fame of David went out into all lands ; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations .
