1 Then sent Hiram the King of Tyrus messengers to Dauid, and cedar trees, with masons and carpenters to builde him an house.
And Churam the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and trees of cedars, and masons and carpenters, to build him a house.
2 Therefore Dauid knewe that the Lord had confirmed him King ouer Israel, and that his kingdome was lift vp on hie, because of his people Israel.
And David felt conscious that the Lord had established him as king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, because of his people Israel.
3 Also Dauid tooke moe wiues at Ierusalem, and Dauid begate moe sonnes and daughters.
And David took yet more wives at Jerusalem; and David begat more sons and daughters.
4 And these are the names of the children which he had at Ierusalem, Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Salomon,
And these are the names of the children that he had in Jerusalem: Shammua', and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,

And Elishama', and Be'elyada', and Eliphalet.
8 But when the Philistims heard that Dauid was anointed King ouer Israel, all the Philistims came vp to seeke Dauid. And when Dauid heard, he went out against them.
But when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went out against them.
9 And the Philistims came, and spred them selues in the valley of Rephaim.
And the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim.
10 Then Dauid asked counsel at God, saying, Shall I goe vp against the Philistims, and wilt thou deliuer them into mine hande? And the Lord saide vnto him, Goe vp: for I will deliuer them into thine hande.
And David asked counsel of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up; and I will deliver them into thy hand.
11 So they came vp to Baal-perazim, and Dauid smote them there: and Dauid said, God hath deuided mine enemies with mine hande, as waters are deuided: therefore they called the name of that place, Baal-perazim.
And they came up to Ba'al-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken down my enemies through my hand as a breach [is made] by water: therefore they called the name of that place Ba'al-perazim.
12 And there they had left their gods: and Dauid said, Let them euen be burnt with fire.
And they left behind there their gods, and David gave the order, and they were burnt with fire.
13 Againe the Philistims came and spread them selues in the valley.
And the Philistines [came] once again, and spread themselves out in the valley.
14 And when Dauid asked againe counsell at God, God said to him, Thou shalt not goe vp after them, but turne away from them, that thou mayest come vpon them ouer against the mulberie trees.
And David asked again counsel of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn about from them, and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees,
15 And when thou hearest the noyse of one going in the toppes of the mulberie trees, then goe out to battel: for God is gone foorth before thee, to smite the hoste of the Philistims.
And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of walking on the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will be gone forth before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.
16 So Dauid did as God had commanded him: and they smote the hoste of the Philistims from Gibeon euen to Gezer.
And David did as God had commanded him; and they smote the camp of the Philistines from Gib'on as far as Gezer.
17 And the fame of Dauid went out into all landes, and the Lord brought the feare of him vpon all nations.
And the fame of David went out into all the lands; and the Lord laid the dread of him upon all the nations.
