1
Then all
the tribes
of Israel
came
to David
at Hebron
and said,
"Behold,
we are your bone
and your flesh.
2
"Previously,
when Saul
was king
over
us, you were the one who led
Israel
out and in. And the LORD
said
to you, 'You will shepherd
My people
Israel
,
and you will be a ruler
over
Israel
.'"
3
So all
the elders
of Israel
came
to the
king
at Hebron,
and King
David
made
a covenant
with them before
the LORD
at Hebron;
then they anointed
David
king
over
Israel.
4
David
was thirty
years
old
when he became
king, and he reigned
forty
years
.
5
At Hebron
he reigned
over
Judah
seven
years
and six
months,
and in Jerusalem
he reigned
thirty-three
years
over
all
Israel
and
Judah
.
6
Now the king
and his men
went
to Jerusalem
against
the Jebusites,
the inhabitants
of the land,
and they said
to David,
"You shall not come
in here,
but the blind
and lame
will turn you away";
thinking,
"David
cannot
enter
here."
7
Nevertheless, David
captured
the stronghold
of Zion,
that is the city
of David.
8
David
said
on that day,
"Whoever
would strike
the Jebusites,
let him reach
the lame
and the blind,
who are hated
by
David
's
soul,
through the water tunnel."
Therefore
they say,
"The blind
or
the lame
shall not come
into the house."
9
So David
lived
in the stronghold
and called
it the city
of David.
And David
built
all around
from the Millo
and inward.
10
David
became
greater
and
greater
,
for the LORD
God
of hosts
was with him.
11
Then Hiram
king
of Tyre
sent
messengers
to David
with cedar
trees
and carpenters
and stonemasons;
and they built
a house
for David.
12
And David
realized
that the LORD
had established
him as king
over
Israel,
and that He had exalted
his kingdom
for the sake
of His people
Israel.
13
Meanwhile David
took
more
concubines
and wives
from Jerusalem,
after
he came
from Hebron;
and
more
sons
and daughters
were born
to David.
14
Now these
are the names
of those who were born
to him in Jerusalem:
Shammua,
Shobab,
Nathan,
Solomon,
15
Ibhar,
Elishua,
Nepheg,
Japhia,
16
Elishama,
Eliada
and Eliphelet.
17
When
the Philistines
heard
that they had anointed
David
king
over
Israel,
all
the Philistines
went
up to seek
out
David
;
and when
David
heard
of it, he
went
down
to the stronghold.
18
Now the Philistines
came
and spread
themselves out in the valley
of Rephaim.
19
Then David
inquired
of the LORD,
saying,
"Shall I go
up against
the Philistines
?
Will You
give
them into my hand?"
And the LORD
said
to David,
"Go
up, for I will certainly
give
the Philistines
into your hand."
20
So David
came
to Baal-perazim
and defeated
them there;
and he said,
"The LORD
has broken through
my enemies
before
me like the breakthrough
of waters."
Therefore
he named
that place
Baal-perazim.
21
They abandoned
their idols
there,
so David
and his men
carried
them away.
22
Now the Philistines
came
up once
again
and spread
themselves out in the valley
of Rephaim.
23
When David
inquired
of the LORD,
He said,
"You shall not go
directly up; circle around
behind
them and come
at them in front
of the balsam trees.
24
"It shall be, when you hear
the sound
of marching
in the tops
of the balsam trees,
then
you shall act promptly,
for
then
the LORD
will have gone
out before
you to strike
the army
of the Philistines."
25
Then David
did
so,
just
as the LORD
had commanded
him, and struck down
the Philistines
from Geba
as far
as Gezer.
