1. Now Churam Melech Tzor sent malachim to Dovid, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him a bais (palace).
2. And Dovid perceived that Hashem had established him Melech over Yisroel, for his malchut was lifted up on high, for the sake of His people Yisroel.
3. And Dovid took more nashim at Yerushalayim; and Dovid fathered more banim and banot.
4. Now these are the shmot of his banim which were born in Yerushalayim: Shammua, and Shovav, Natan, and Sh'lomo,
5. And Yivchar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
6. And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Yaphia,
7. And Elishama, and Be'elyada, and Eliphalet.
8. And when the Pelishtim (Philistines) heard that Dovid nimshach (was anointed) Melech over kol Yisroel, all the Pelishtim went up to search for Dovid. Dovid heard of it, and went out against them.
9. And the Pelishtim (Philistines) came and spread out in the Emek Rephaim.
