2 Samuel 5:11-18 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

11. Now Ḥiram sovereign of Tsor sent messengers to Dawiḏ, and cedar trees, and carpenters and masons. And they built a house for Dawiḏ.

12. And Dawiḏ knew that יהוה had established him as sovereign over Yisra’ĕl, and that He had exalted His reign, because of His people Yisra’ĕl.

13. And Dawiḏ took more concubines and wives from Yerushalayim, after he had come from Ḥeḇron, and more sons and daughters were born to Dawiḏ.

14. And these were the names of those born to him in Yerushalayim: Shammua, and Shoḇaḇ, and Nathan, and Shelomoh,

15. and Yiḇḥar, and Elishua, and Nepheg̅, and Yaphiya,

16. and Elishama, and Elyaḏa, and Eliphelet.

17. And the Philistines heard that they had anointed Dawiḏ sovereign over Yisra’ĕl, and all the Philistines went up to search for Dawiḏ, but Dawiḏ heard and went down to the stronghold.

18. And the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the Valley of Repha’im.
