1 Then|strong="H1732" came|strong="H3478" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" tribes|strong="H7626" of|strong="H7626" Israel|strong="H3478" to|strong="H3478" David|strong="H1732" unto|strong="H3478" Hebron|strong="H2275", and|strong="H3478" spake, saying, Behold|strong="H2005", we|strong="H3068" are|strong="H6106" thy|strong="H1732" bone|strong="H6106" and|strong="H3478" thy|strong="H1732" flesh|strong="H1320".
2 In|strong="H5921" times|strong="H1571" past|strong="H8032", when|strong="H1961" Saul|strong="H7586" was|strong="H3068" king|strong="H4428" over|strong="H5921" us|strong="H5921", it|strong="H5921" was|strong="H3068" thou|strong="H1961" that|strong="H5971" leddest out|strong="H3318" and|strong="H3478" broughtest|strong="H3318" in|strong="H5921" Israel|strong="H3478": and|strong="H3478" the|strong="H5921" LORD|strong="H3068" said|strong="H3318" to|strong="H3318" thee|strong="H8032", Thou|strong="H1961" shalt feed|strong="H7462" my|strong="H3068" people|strong="H5971" Israel|strong="H3478", and|strong="H3478" thou|strong="H1961" shalt be|strong="H1961" prince|strong="H5057" over|strong="H5921" Israel|strong="H3478".
3 So|strong="H5921" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" elders|strong="H2205" of|strong="H4428" Israel|strong="H3478" came|strong="H3478" to|strong="H3478" the|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428" to|strong="H3478" Hebron|strong="H2275"; and|strong="H3478" king|strong="H4428" David|strong="H1732" made|strong="H3772" a|strong="H3068" covenant|strong="H1285" with|strong="H3068" them|strong="H5921" in|strong="H5921" Hebron|strong="H2275" before|strong="H6440" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068": and|strong="H3478" they|strong="H3068" anointed|strong="H4886" David|strong="H1732" king|strong="H4428" over|strong="H5921" Israel|strong="H3478".
4 David|strong="H1732" was|strong="H1732" thirty|strong="H7970" years|strong="H8141" old|strong="H1121" when|strong="H1121" he|strong="H1732" began to|strong="H1121" reign|strong="H4427", and|strong="H1121" he|strong="H1732" reigned|strong="H4427" forty years|strong="H8141".
5 In|strong="H8141" Hebron|strong="H2275" he|strong="H3605" reigned|strong="H4427" over|strong="H5921" Judah|strong="H3063" seven|strong="H7651" years|strong="H8141" and|strong="H3063" six|strong="H8337" mouths: and|strong="H3063" in|strong="H8141" Jerusalem|strong="H3389" he|strong="H3605" reigned|strong="H4427" thirty|strong="H7970" and|strong="H3063" three|strong="H7969" years|strong="H8141" over|strong="H5921" all|strong="H3605" Israel|strong="H3478" and|strong="H3063" Judah|strong="H3063".
6 And|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3588" king|strong="H4428" and|strong="H4428" his|strong="H1732" men|strong="H5787" went|strong="H3212" to|strong="H3212" Jerusalem|strong="H3389" against|strong="H3212" the|strong="H3588" Jebusites|strong="H2983", the|strong="H3588" inhabitants|strong="H3427" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3588" land: which|strong="H3588" spake unto|strong="H3212" David|strong="H1732", saying, Except|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H3427" take|strong="H5493" away|strong="H5493" the|strong="H3588" blind|strong="H5787" and|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3588" lame|strong="H6452", thou|strong="H3427" shalt not|strong="H3808" come|strong="H3212" in|strong="H3427" hither|strong="H2008": thinking, David|strong="H1732" cannot|strong="H3808" come|strong="H3212" in|strong="H3427" hither|strong="H2008".
7 Nevertheless David|strong="H1732" took|strong="H3920" the|strong="H3920" strong hold|strong="H4686" of|strong="H5892" Zion|strong="H6726"; the|strong="H3920" same|strong="H1931" is|strong="H1931" the|strong="H3920" city|strong="H5892" of|strong="H5892" David|strong="H1732".
8 And|strong="H3117" David|strong="H1732" said|strong="H3651" on|strong="H5921" that|strong="H3605" day|strong="H3117", Whosoever|strong="H3651" smiteth|strong="H5221" the|strong="H3605" Jebusites|strong="H2983", let|strong="H3808" him|strong="H5921" get|strong="H5060" up|strong="H5921" to|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" watercourse, and|strong="H3117" smite the|strong="H3605" lame|strong="H6455" and|strong="H3117" the|strong="H3605" blind|strong="H5787", that|strong="H3605" are|strong="H3117" hated|strong="H8130" of|strong="H1004" David|strong="H1732"’s soul|strong="H5315". Wherefore|strong="H3651" they|strong="H3117" say, There|strong="H3117" are|strong="H3117" the|strong="H3605" blind|strong="H5787" and|strong="H3117" the|strong="H3605" lame|strong="H6455"; he|strong="H1931" cannot|strong="H3808" come|strong="H5060" into|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" house|strong="H1004".
9 And|strong="H1004" David|strong="H1732" dwelt|strong="H3427" in|strong="H3427" the|strong="H4480" strong hold|strong="H4686", and|strong="H1004" called|strong="H7121" it|strong="H7121" the|strong="H4480" city|strong="H5892" of|strong="H1004" David|strong="H1732". And|strong="H1004" David|strong="H1732" built|strong="H1129" round|strong="H5439" about|strong="H5439" from|strong="H4480" Millo|strong="H4407" and|strong="H1004" inward|strong="H1004".
10 And|strong="H1980" David|strong="H1732" waxed|strong="H1980" greater|strong="H1419" and|strong="H1980" greater|strong="H1419"; for|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068", the|strong="H3068" God|strong="H3068" of|strong="H3068" hosts|strong="H6635", was|strong="H3068" with|strong="H5973" him|strong="H5973".
11 And|strong="H7971" Hiram|strong="H2438" king|strong="H4428" of|strong="H4428" Tyre|strong="H6865" sent|strong="H7971" messengers|strong="H4397" to|strong="H7971" David|strong="H1732", and|strong="H7971" cedar trees|strong="H6086", and|strong="H7971" carpenters|strong="H2796", and|strong="H7971" masons|strong="H7023": and|strong="H7971" they|strong="H4428" built|strong="H1129" David|strong="H1732" an|strong="H1129" house|strong="H1004".
12 And|strong="H3478" David|strong="H1732" perceived|strong="H3045" that|strong="H3588" the|strong="H5921" LORD|strong="H3068" had|strong="H3068" established|strong="H3559" him|strong="H5921" king|strong="H4428" over|strong="H5921" Israel|strong="H3478", and|strong="H3478" that|strong="H3588" he|strong="H3588" had|strong="H3068" exalted|strong="H5375" his|strong="H5375" kingdom|strong="H4467" for|strong="H3588" his|strong="H5375" people|strong="H5971" Israel|strong="H3478"’s sake|strong="H5668".
13 And|strong="H1121" David|strong="H1732" took|strong="H3947" him|strong="H3205" more|strong="H5750" concubines|strong="H6370" and|strong="H1121" wives out|strong="H3947" of|strong="H1121" Jerusalem|strong="H3389", after he|strong="H1732" was|strong="H1732" come|strong="H3205" from|strong="H1121" Hebron|strong="H2275": and|strong="H1121" there were|strong="H1121" yet|strong="H5750" sons|strong="H1121" and|strong="H1121" daughters|strong="H1323" born|strong="H3205" to|strong="H3389" David|strong="H1732".
14 And|strong="H3389" these be|strong="H8034" the|strong="H5416" names|strong="H8034" of|strong="H8034" those that|strong="H8010" were|strong="H3389" born|strong="H3209" unto|strong="H3389" him|strong="H8010" in|strong="H8034" Jerusalem|strong="H3389"; Shammua|strong="H8051", and|strong="H3389" Shobab|strong="H7727", and|strong="H3389" Nathan|strong="H5416", and|strong="H3389" Solomon|strong="H8010",
15 and|strong="H5298" Ibhar|strong="H2984", and|strong="H5298" Elishua; and|strong="H5298" Nepheg|strong="H5298", and|strong="H5298" Japhia|strong="H3309";
16 and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet.
17 And|strong="H3478" when|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3605" Philistines|strong="H6430" heard|strong="H8085" that|strong="H3588" they|strong="H3588" had|strong="H3478" anointed|strong="H4886" David|strong="H1732" king|strong="H4428" over|strong="H5921" Israel|strong="H3478", all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" Philistines|strong="H6430" went|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" to|strong="H3381" seek|strong="H1245" David|strong="H1732"; and|strong="H3478" David|strong="H1732" heard|strong="H8085" of|strong="H4428" it|strong="H5921", and|strong="H3478" went|strong="H5927" down|strong="H3381" to|strong="H3381" the|strong="H3605" hold|strong="H4686".
18 Now the|strong="H5203" Philistines|strong="H6430" had|strong="H6430" come and|strong="H6430" spread|strong="H5203" themselves in|strong="H6430" the|strong="H5203" valley|strong="H6010" of|strong="H6010" Rephaim|strong="H7497".
19 And|strong="H3068" David|strong="H1732" inquired|strong="H7592" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3588" LORD|strong="H3068", saying, Shall|strong="H3068" I|strong="H3588" go|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" against|strong="H5927" the|strong="H3588" Philistines|strong="H6430"? wilt thou|strong="H3027" deliver|strong="H5414" them|strong="H5414" into|strong="H5927" mine|strong="H5414" hand|strong="H3027"? And|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3588" LORD|strong="H3068" said unto|strong="H5414" David|strong="H1732", Go|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927": for|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" will|strong="H3068" certainly|strong="H3588" deliver|strong="H5414" the|strong="H3588" Philistines|strong="H6430" into|strong="H5927" thine|strong="H5414" hand|strong="H3027".
20 And|strong="H3068" David|strong="H1732" came|strong="H3068" to|strong="H3068" Baal-perazim|strong="H1188", and|strong="H3068" David|strong="H1732" smote|strong="H5221" them|strong="H5921" there|strong="H8033"; and|strong="H3068" he|strong="H1931" said|strong="H7121", The|strong="H6440" LORD|strong="H3068" hath|strong="H3068" broken|strong="H6555" mine|strong="H5221" enemies before|strong="H6440" me|strong="H6440", like|strong="H3651" the|strong="H6440" breach|strong="H6556" of|strong="H3068" waters|strong="H4325". Therefore|strong="H3651" he|strong="H1931" called|strong="H7121" the|strong="H6440" name|strong="H8034" of|strong="H3068" that|strong="H1931" place|strong="H4725" Baal-perazim|strong="H1188".
21 And|strong="H1732" they|strong="H8033" left|strong="H5800" their|strong="H5375" images|strong="H6091" there|strong="H8033", and|strong="H1732" David|strong="H1732" and|strong="H1732" his|strong="H5375" men took|strong="H5375" them|strong="H5375" away|strong="H5375".
22 And|strong="H5927" the|strong="H5927" Philistines|strong="H6430" came|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" yet|strong="H5750" again|strong="H5750", and|strong="H5927" spread|strong="H5203" themselves in|strong="H5750" the|strong="H5927" valley|strong="H6010" of|strong="H6010" Rephaim|strong="H7497".
23 And|strong="H3068" when|strong="H3068" David|strong="H1732" inquired|strong="H7592" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068", he|strong="H3068" said, Thou shalt not|strong="H3808" go|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927": make|strong="H5437" a|strong="H3068" circuit|strong="H5437" behind them|strong="H5927", and|strong="H3068" come|strong="H5927" upon|strong="H5927" them|strong="H5927" over|strong="H5927" against|strong="H4136" the|strong="H3068" mulberry trees|strong="H1057".
24 And|strong="H3068" it|strong="H3588" shall|strong="H3068" be|strong="H1961", when|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H6440" hearest|strong="H8085" the|strong="H6440" sound|strong="H6963" of|strong="H3068" marching|strong="H6807" in|strong="H3068" the|strong="H6440" tops|strong="H7218" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H6440" mulberry trees|strong="H1057", that|strong="H3588" then|strong="H1961" thou|strong="H6440" shalt bestir|strong="H2782" thyself: for|strong="H3588" then|strong="H1961" is|strong="H3068" the|strong="H6440" LORD|strong="H3068" gone|strong="H3318" out|strong="H3318" before|strong="H6440" thee|strong="H6440" to|strong="H3318" smite|strong="H5221" the|strong="H6440" host|strong="H4264" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H6440" Philistines|strong="H6430".
25 And|strong="H3068" David|strong="H1732" did|strong="H6213" so|strong="H3651", as|strong="H5704" the|strong="H5221" LORD|strong="H3068" commanded|strong="H6680" him|strong="H5221"; and|strong="H3068" smote|strong="H5221" the|strong="H5221" Philistines|strong="H6430" from|strong="H5704" Geba|strong="H1387" until|strong="H5704" thou|strong="H6213" come to|strong="H5704" Gezer|strong="H1507".
