Book 10 : 2 SAMUEL - Chapter 005
005:001
Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he
that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said
to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a
captain over Israel
005:002
So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and
king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD:
and they anointed David king over Israel
005:003
David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he
reigned forty years
005:004
In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months:
and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all
Israel and Judah
005:005
And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites,
the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying,
Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not
come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither
005:006
Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is
the city of David
005:007
And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the
gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind
that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain.
Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come
into the house
005:008
So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David.
And David built round about from Millo and inward
005:009
And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts
was with him
005:010
And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar
trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an
house.
005:011
And David perceived that the LORD had established him king
over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his
people Israel's sake
005:012
And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem,
after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and
daughters born to David
005:013
And these be the names of those that were born unto him in
Jerusalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon
005:014
Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia
005:015
And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet
005:016
But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David
king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David;
and David heard of it, and went down to the hold
005:017
The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley
of Rephaim
005:018
And David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the
Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the
LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the
Philistines into thine hand
005:019
And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and
said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me,
as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that
place Baalperazim
005:020
And there they left their images, and David and his men burned
them
005:021
And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves
in the valley of Rephaim
005:022
And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not
go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them
over against the mulberry trees
005:023
And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the
tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir
thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite
the host of the Philistines
005:024
And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the
Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer
