1. Also, Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, and cedar wood, and artisans of walls and of wood, so that they might build a house for him.
2. And David realized that the Lord had confirmed him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom had been lifted up over his people Israel.
3. Also, David took other wives in Jerusalem. And he conceived sons and daughters.
4. And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon,
5. Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
6. as well as Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7. Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8. Then, hearing that David had been anointed as king over all of Israel, all the Philistines ascended so that they might seek him. But when David had heard of it, he went out to meet them.
9. Now the Philistines, arriving, spread out in the Valley of the Rephaim.
10. And so David consulted the Lord, saying, "Shall I ascend to the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my hand?" And the Lord said to him, "Ascend, and I will deliver them into your hand."
