2 Samuel 5

1Then came^H935 all the tribes^H7626 of Israel^H3478 to David^H1732 unto Hebron^H2275, and spake^H559, saying^H559, Behold, we are thy bone^H6106 and thy flesh^H1320. 2In times past^H865, when Saul^H7586 was king^H4428 over us, it was thou that leddest out^H3318 and broughtest in^H935 Israel^H3478: and Jehovah^H3068 said^H559 to thee, Thou shalt be shepherd^H7462 of my people^H5971 Israel^H3478, and thou shalt be prince^H5057 over Israel^H3478. 3So all the elders^H2205 of Israel^H3478 came^H935 to the king^H4428 to Hebron^H2275; and king^H4428 David^H1732 made^H3772 a covenant^H1285 with them in Hebron^H2275 before^H6440 Jehovah^H3068: and they anointed^H4886 David^H1732 king^H4428 over Israel^H3478. 4David^H1732 was thirty^H7970 years^H8141 old^H1121 when he began to reign^H4427, and he reigned^H4427 forty^H705 years^H8141. 5In Hebron^H2275 he reigned^H4427 over 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 all Israel^H3478 and Judah^H3063. 6And the king^H4428 and his men^H582 went^H3212 to Jerusalem^H3389 against the Jebusites^H2983, the inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H776, who 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. 7Nevertheless David^H1732 took^H3920 the stronghold^H4686 of Zion^H6726; the same is the city^H5892 of David^H1732. 8And David^H1732 said^H559 on that day^H3117, Whosoever smiteth^H5221 the Jebusites^H2983, let him get up^H5060 to the watercourse^H6794, and smite the lame^H6455 and the blind^H5787, that are hated^H8130 of David's^H1732 soul^H5315. Wherefore they say^H559, There are the blind^H5787 and the lame^H6455; he cannot come^H935 into the house^H1004. 9And David^H1732 dwelt^H3427 in the stronghold^H4686, and called^H7121 it the city^H5892 of David^H1732. And David^H1732 built^H1129 round about^H5439 from Millo^H4407 and inward^H1004. 10And David^H1732 waxed^H3212 greater^H1419 and greater^H1980; for Jehovah^H3068, the God^H430 of hosts^H6635, was with him. 11And Hiram^H2438 king^H4428 of Tyre^H6865 sent^H7971 messengers^H4397 to David^H1732, and^H730 cedar-trees^H6086, and carpenters^H2796, and masons^H7023; and they built^H1129 David^H1732 a house^H1004. 12And David^H1732 perceived^H3045 that Jehovah^H3068 had established^H3559 him king^H4428 over Israel^H3478, and that he had exalted^H5375 his kingdom^H4467 for his people^H5971 Israel's^H3478 sake. 13And 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. 14And these are 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, 15and Ibhar^H2984, and Elishua^H474, and Nepheg^H5298, and Japhia^H3309, 16and Elishama^H476, and Eliada^H450, and Eliphelet^H467. 17And when the Philistines^H6430 heard^H8085 that they had anointed^H4886 David^H1732 king^H4428 over Israel^H3478, all the Philistines^H6430 went up^H5927 to seek^H1245 David^H1732; and David^H1732 heard^H8085 of it, and went down^H3381 to the stronghold^H4686. 18Now the Philistines^H6430 had come^H935 and spread^H5203 themselves in the valley^H6010 of Rephaim^H7497. 19And David^H1732 inquired^H7592 of Jehovah^H3068, saying^H559, Shall I go up^H5927 against the Philistines^H6430? wilt thou deliver^H5414 them into my hand^H3027? And Jehovah^H3068 said^H559 unto David^H1732, Go up^H5927; for I will certainly^H5414 deliver^H5414 the Philistines^H6430 into thy hand^H3027. 20And David^H1732 came^H935 to Baal-perazim^H1188, and David^H1732 smote^H5221 them there; and he said^H559, Jehovah^H3068 hath broken^H6555 mine enemies^H341 before^H6440 me, like the breach^H6556 of waters^H4325. Therefore he called^H7121 the name^H8034 of that place^H4725 Baal-perazim^H1188. 21And they left^H5800 their images^H6091 there; and David^H1732 and his men^H582 took them away^H5375. 22And the Philistines^H6430 came up^H5927 yet again^H3254, and spread^H5203 themselves in the valley^H6010 of Rephaim^H7497. 23And when David^H1732 inquired^H7592 of Jehovah^H3068, he said^H559, Thou shalt not go up^H5927: make a circuit^H5437 behind^H310 them, and come^H935 upon them over against^H4136 the mulberry-trees^H1057. 24And it shall be, when thou hearest^H8085 the sound^H6963 of marching^H6807 in the tops^H7218 of the mulberry-trees^H1057, that then thou shalt bestir^H2782 thyself; for then is Jehovah^H3068 gone out^H3318 before^H6440 thee to smite^H5221 the host^H4264 of the Philistines^H6430. 25And David^H1732 did so^H6213, as Jehovah^H3068 commanded^H6680 him, and smote^H5221 the Philistines^H6430 from Geba^H1387 until thou come^H935 to Gezer^H1507.
