[1] Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and spoke, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh. [2] In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led Israel out and in. Yahweh said to you, ‘You will be shepherd of my people Israel, and you will be prince over Israel.’” [3] So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh; and they anointed David king over Israel. [4] David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. [5] In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah. [6] The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, “The blind and the lame will keep you out of here,” thinking, “David can’t come in here.” [7] Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. This is David’s city. [8] David said on that day, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him go up to the watercourse and strike those lame and blind, who are hated by David’s soul.” Therefore they say, “The blind and the lame can’t come into the house.” [9] David lived in the stronghold, and called it David’s city. David built around from Millo and inward. [10] David grew greater and greater, for Yahweh, the God of Armies, was with him. [11] Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, with cedar trees, carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house. [12] David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake. [13] David took more concubines and wives for himself out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and more sons and daughters were born to David. [14] 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 David, but David heard about it and went down to the stronghold. [18] Now the Philistines had come and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. [19] David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?”Yahweh said to David, “Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your hand.” [20] David came to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there. Then he said, “Yahweh has broken my enemies before me, like the breach of waters.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.ⓘ [21] They left their images there, and David and his men took them away. [22] The Philistines came up yet again and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. [23] When David inquired of Yahweh, he said, “You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them in front of the mulberry trees. [24] When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then stir yourself up; for then Yahweh has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.” [25] David did so, as Yahweh commanded him, and struck the Philistines all the way from Geba to Gezer.

King over all Israel

[1] Then came H935 all H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 to David H1732 unto H413 Hebron, H2275 and spake, H559 saying, H559 Behold, we are thy bone H6106 and thy flesh. H1320 [2] Also H1571 in time past, H865 H8032 when Saul H7586 was king H4428 over H5921 us, thou wast he that leddest out H3318 and broughtest in H935 Israel: H3478 and the Lord H3068 said H559 to thee, Thou shalt feed H7462 H853 my people H5971 Israel, H3478 and thou shalt be a captain H5057 over H5921 Israel. H3478 [3] So all the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 came H935 to the king H4428 to Hebron; H2275 and king H4428 David H1732 made H3772 a league H1285 with them in Hebron H2275 before H6440 the Lord: H3068 and they anointed H4886 David H1732 king H4428 over H5921 Israel. H3478 [4] David H1732 was thirty H7970 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign, H4427 and he reigned H4427 forty H705 years. H8141 [5] In Hebron H2275 he reigned H4427 over H5921 Judah H3063 seven H7651 years H8141 and six H8337 months: H2320 and in Jerusalem H3389 he reigned H4427 thirty H7970 and three H7969 years H8141 over H5921 all H3605 Israel H3478 and Judah. H3063

Capture of Jerusalem

[6] And the king H4428 and his men H582 went H3212 to Jerusalem H3389 unto the Jebusites, H2983 the inhabitants H3427 of the land: H776 which spake H559 unto David, H1732 saying, H559 Except thou take away H5493 the blind H5787 and the lame, H6455 thou shalt not come in H935 hither: thinking, H559 David H1732 cannot§ come in H935 hither. [7] Nevertheless David H1732 took H3920 H853 the strong hold H4686 of Zion: H6726 the same is the city H5892 of David. H1732 [8] And David H1732 said H559 on H5921 that day, H3117 Whosoever getteth up H5060 to the gutter, H6794 and smiteth H5221 the Jebusites, H2983 and the lame H6455 and the blind, H5787 that are hated H8130 of David’s H1732 soul, H5315 he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, H559 The blind H5787 and the lame H6455 shall H935 not H3808 come H935 into the house. H1004§ [9] So David H1732 dwelt H3427 in the fort, H4686 and called H7121 it the city H5892 of David. H1732 And David H1732 built H1129 round about H5439 from H4480 Millo H4407 and inward. H1004 [10] And David H1732 went H3212 on, H1980 and grew§ great, H1419 and the Lord H3068 God H430 of hosts H6635 was with him. [11] And Hiram H2438 king H4428 of Tyre H6865 sent H7971 messengers H4397 to David, H1732 and cedar H730 trees, H6086 and carpenters, H2796 and masons: H7023§ H68 and they built H1129 David H1732 an house. H1004 [12] And David H1732 perceived H3045 that the Lord H3068 had established H3559 him king H4428 over H5921 Israel, H3478 and that he had exalted H5375 his kingdom H4467 for H3588 his people H5971 Israel’s H3478 sake. [13] And David H1732 took H3947 him more concubines H6370 and wives H802 out of Jerusalem, H3389 after H310 he was come H935 from Hebron: H2275 and there were yet sons H1121 and daughters H1323 born H3205 to David. H1732 [14] And these be the names H8034 of those that were born H3209 unto him in Jerusalem; H3389 Shammua, H8051 and Shobab, H7727 and Nathan, H5416 and Solomon, H8010 [15] Ibhar H2984 also, and Elishua, H474 and Nepheg, H5298 and Japhia, H3309 [16] and Elishama, H476 and Eliada, H450 and Eliphalet. H467 [17] But when the Philistines H6430 heard H8085 that they had anointed H4886 David H1732 king H4428 over H5921 Israel, H3478 all H3605 the Philistines H6430 came up H5927 to seek H1245 David; H1732 and David H1732 heard H8085 of it, and went down H3381 to the hold. H4686 [18] The Philistines H6430 also came H935 and spread H5203 themselves in the valley H6010 of Rephaim. H7497 [19] And David H1732 enquired H7592 of the Lord, H3068 saying, H559 Shall I go up H5927 to the Philistines? H6430 wilt thou deliver H5414 them into mine hand? H3027 And the Lord H3068 said H559 unto H413 David, H1732 Go up: H5927 for H3588 I will doubtless H5414 deliver H5414 the Philistines H6430 into thine hand. H3027 [20] And David H1732 came H935 to Baal-perazim, H1188ⓘ and David H1732 smote H5221 them there, and said, H559 The Lord H3068 hath broken forth H6555 H853 upon H5921 mine enemies H341 before H6440 me, as the breach H6556 of waters. H4325 Therefore he called H7121 the name H8034 of that place H4725 Baal-perazim. H1188 [21] And there they left H5800 H853 their images, H6091 and David H1732 and his men H582 burned H5375 them. [22] And the Philistines H6430 came up H5927 yet again, H3254 and spread H5203 themselves in the valley H6010 of Rephaim. H7497 [23] And when David H1732 enquired H7592 of the Lord, H3068 he said, H559 Thou shalt not go up; H5927 but fetch a compass H5437 behind H310 them, and come H935 upon them over against H4136 the mulberry trees. H1057 [24] And let it be, when thou hearest H8085 H853 the sound H6963 of a going H6807 in the tops H7218 of the mulberry trees, H1057 that then thou shalt bestir H2782 thyself: for then shall the Lord H3068 go out H3318 before H6440 thee, to smite H5221 the host H4264 of the Philistines. H6430 [25] And David H1732 did H6213 so, H3651 as the Lord H3068 had commanded H6680 him; and smote H5221 H853 the Philistines H6430 from Geba H1387ⓘ until H5704 thou come H935 to Gazer. H1507
