2 Samuel 5:4-25

David
<01732>
[was] thirty
<07970>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
[and] he reigned
<04427> (8804)
forty
<0705>
years
<08141>_.
In Hebron
<02275>
he reigned
<04427> (8804)
over Judah
<03063>
seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
and six
<08337>
months
<02320>_:
and in Jerusalem
<03389>
he reigned
<04427> (8804)
thirty
<07970>
and three
<07969>
years
<08141>
over all Israel
<03478>
and Judah
<03063>_.
And the king
<04428>
and his men
<0582>
went
<03212> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>
unto the Jebusites
<02983>_,
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the land
<0776>_:
which spake
<0559> (8799)
unto David
<01732>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Except thou take away
<05493> (8687)
the blind
<05787>
and the lame
<06455>_,
thou shalt not come in
<0935> (8799)
hither: thinking
<0559> (8800)_,
David
<01732>
cannot come in
<0935> (8799)
hither. {thinking...: or, saying David shall not, etc}
Nevertheless David
<01732>
took
<03920> (8799)
the strong hold
<04686>
of Zion
<06726>_:
the same [is] the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_.
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
on that day
<03117>_,
Whosoever getteth up
<05060> (8799)
to the gutter
<06794>_,
and smiteth
<05221> (8688)
the Jebusites
<02983>_,
and the lame
<06455>
and the blind
<05787>_,
[that are] hated
<08130> (8803)
of David's
<01732>
soul
<05315>_,
[he shall be chief and captain]. Wherefore they said
<0559> (8799)_,
The blind
<05787>
and the lame
<06455>
shall not come
<0935> (8799)
into the house
<01004>_.
{Wherefore...: or, Because they had said, even the blind and the lame, He shall not}
So David
<01732>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in the fort
<04686>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
it the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_.
And David
<01732>
built
<01129> (8799)
round about
<05439>
from Millo
<04407>
and inward
<01004>_.
And David
<01732>
went
<03212> (8799)
on
<01980> (8800)_,
and grew great
<01419>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of hosts
<06635>
[was] with him. {went...: Heb. went, going and growing}
And Hiram
<02438>
king
<04428>
of Tyre
<06865>
sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
to David
<01732>_,
and cedar
<0730>
trees
<06086>_,
and carpenters
<02796>_,
and masons
<07023> <068>_:
and they built
<01129> (8799)
David
<01732>
an house
<01004>_.
{masons: Heb. hewers of the stone of the wall}
And David
<01732>
perceived
<03045> (8799)
that the LORD
<03068>
had established
<03559> (8689)
him king
<04428>
over Israel
<03478>_,
and that he had exalted
<05375> (8765)
his kingdom
<04467>
for his people
<05971>
Israel's
<03478>
sake.
And David
<01732>
took
<03947> (8799)
[him] more concubines
<06370>
and wives
<0802>
out of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
after
<0310>
he was come
<0935> (8800)
from Hebron
<02275>_:
and there were yet sons
<01121>
and daughters
<01323>
born
<03205> (8735)
to David
<01732>_.
And these [be] the names
<08034>
of those that were born
<03209>
unto him in Jerusalem
<03389>_;
Shammua
<08051>_,
and Shobab
<07727>_,
and Nathan
<05416>_,
and Solomon
<08010>_,
Ibhar
<02984>
also, and Elishua
<0474>_,
and Nepheg
<05298>_,
and Japhia
<03309>_,
And Elishama
<0476>_,
and Eliada
<0450>_,
and Eliphalet
<0467>_.
But when the Philistines
<06430>
heard
<08085> (8799)
that they had anointed
<04886> (8804)
David
<01732>
king
<04428>
over Israel
<03478>_,
all the Philistines
<06430>
came up
<05927> (8799)
to seek
<01245> (8763)
David
<01732>_;
and David
<01732>
heard
<08085> (8799)
[of it], and went down
<03381> (8799)
to the hold
<04686>_.
The Philistines
<06430>
also came
<0935> (8804)
and spread
<05203> (8735)
themselves in the valley
<06010>
of Rephaim
<07497>_.
And David
<01732>
enquired
<07592> (8799)
of the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Shall I go up
<05927> (8799)
to the Philistines
<06430>_?
wilt thou deliver
<05414> (8799)
them into mine hand
<03027>_?
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto David
<01732>_,
Go up
<05927> (8798)_:
for I will doubtless
<05414> (8800)
deliver
<05414> (8799)
the Philistines
<06430>
into thine hand
<03027>_.
And David
<01732>
came
<0935> (8799)
to Baalperazim
<01188>_,
and David
<01732>
smote
<05221> (8686)
them there, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
The LORD
<03068>
hath broken forth
<06555> (8804)
upon mine enemies
<0341> (8802)
before
<06440>
me, as the breach
<06556>
of waters
<04325>_.
Therefore he called
<07121> (8804)
the name
<08034>
of that place
<04725>
Baalperazim
<01188>_.
{Baalperazim: that is, the plain of breaches}
And there they left
<05800> (8799)
their images
<06091>_,
and David
<01732>
and his men
<0582>
burned
<05375> (8799)
them. {burned...: or, took them away}
And the Philistines
<06430>
came up
<05927> (8800)
yet again
<03254> (8686)_,
and spread
<05203> (8735)
themselves in the valley
<06010>
of Rephaim
<07497>_.
And when David
<01732>
enquired
<07592> (8799)
of the LORD
<03068>_,
he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou shalt not go up
<05927> (8799)_;
[but] fetch a compass
<05437> (8685)
behind
<0310>
them, and come
<0935> (8804)
upon them over against
<04136>
the mulberry trees
<01057>_.
And let it be, when thou hearest
<08085> (8800)
the sound
<06963>
of a going
<06807>
in the tops
<07218>
of the mulberry trees
<01057>_,
that then thou shalt bestir
<02782> (8799)
thyself: for then shall the LORD
<03068>
go out
<03318> (8804)
before
<06440>
thee, to smite
<05221> (8687)
the host
<04264>
of the Philistines
<06430>_.
And David
<01732>
did so
<06213> (8799)_,
as the LORD
<03068>
had commanded
<06680> (8765)
him; and smote
<05221> (8686)
the Philistines
<06430>
from Geba
<01387>
until thou come
<0935> (8800)
to Gazer
<01507>_.
