- 2. David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel's sake.
- 3. David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David became the father of more sons and daughters.
- 4. These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
- 5. and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
- 6. and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
- 7. and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
- 8. 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.
- 9. Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
- 10. David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and will you deliver them into my hand? Yahweh said to him, Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.
- 11. So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there; and David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

- 13. The Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.
- 14. David inquired again of God; and God said to him, You shall not go up after them: turn away from them, and come on them over against the mulberry trees.

- 16. David did as God commanded him: and they struck the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
- 17. The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought the fear of him on all nations.
