David's house and family
Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, with masons and carpenters, to build him a house. David knew the Lord had established him as king over Israel and had lifted up his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel. David took more wives at Jerusalem, and David fathered more sons and daughters. Now these are the names of the children he had in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon, And Ibhar and Elishua and Elpelet, And Nogah and Nepheg and Japhia, And Elishama and Beeliada and Eliphelet.

Two battles with the Philistines
When the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to look for David. And David heard about it and went out against them. The Philistines came and spread themselves out in the Valley of Rephaim. David asked God: Should I go up against the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me? The Lord answered: Go up. I will hand them over to you. So they went up to Baalperazim, and David defeated them there. He said: God has broken through my enemies by my hand like a flood breaking through. That's why they named the place Baalperazim. When they'd left their gods there, David gave the order, and they were burnt with fire. The Philistines spread themselves out in the valley again. David asked God again, and God told him: Don't go straight after them. Circle around and come at them opposite the mulberry trees. When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, move out to battle, because God has gone ahead of you to strike the Philistine army. David did what God commanded him, and they struck the army of the Philistines from Gibeon as far as Gezer. The name of David went out into all lands, and the Lord brought the fear of him on all nations.
And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to look for David. And David heard about it and went out against them. And the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the Valley of Rephaim. And David asked God: Should I go up against the Philistines? And will you hand them over into my hand? And the Lord said to him: Go up, because I'll hand them over into your hand. So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there. Then David said: God has broken through the ones against me by my hand like the breaking through of waters. That's why they called the name of that place Baal Perazim. And when they'd left their gods there, David gave the order, and they were burnt with fire. And the Philistines spread themselves out in the valley again. So David asked God again. And God said to him: Don't go up after them. Turn away from them and come on them opposite the mulberry trees. And when you hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then go out to battle. Because God will have gone out in front of you to strike the army of the Philistines. So David did what God ordered him, and they struck the army of the Philistines from Gibeon right to Gezer. And the name of David went out into all lands, and the Lord brought the fear of him on all nations.
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 wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand. So they came up to Baalperazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth 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 over against the mulberry trees. And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines. David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote 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.
