5:1 Then
all
the
tribes
of
Israel
came
to
David
at
Hebron
and
said,
"Behold,
we
are
your
bone
and
flesh.
5:2 In
times
past,
when
Saul
was
king
over
us,
it
was
you
who
led
out
and
brought
in
Israel.
And
the
LORD
said
to
you,
'You
shall
be
shepherd
of
my
people
Israel,
and
you
shall
be
prince
over
Israel.'"
5:3 So
all
the
elders
of
Israel
came
to
the
king
at
Hebron,
and
King
David
made
a
covenant
with
them
at
Hebron
before
the
LORD,
and
they
anointed
David
king
over
Israel.
5:4 David
was
thirty
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign,
and
he
reigned
forty
years.
5:5 At
Hebron
he
reigned
over
Judah
seven
years
and
six
months,
and
at
Jerusalem
he
reigned
over
all
Israel
and
Judah
thirty-three
years.
5:6 And
the
king
and
his
men
went
to
Jerusalem
against
the
Jebusites,
the
inhabitants
of
the
land,
who
said
to
David,
"You
will
not
come
in
here,
but
the
blind
and
the
lame
will
ward
you
off"--thinking,
"David
cannot
come
in
here."
5:7 Nevertheless,
David
took
the
stronghold
of
Zion,
that
is,
the
city
of
David.
5:8 And
David
said
on
that
day,
"Whoever
would
strike
the
Jebusites,
let
him
get
up
the
water
shaft
to
attack
'the
lame
and
the
blind,'
who
are
hated
by
David's
soul."
Therefore
it
is
said,
"The
blind
and
the
lame
shall
not
come
into
the
house."
5:9 And
David
lived
in
the
stronghold
and
called
it
the
city
of
David.
And
David
built
the
city
all
around
from
the
Millo
inward.
5:10 And
David
became
greater
and
greater,
for
the
LORD,
the
God
of
hosts,
was
with
him.
5:11 And
Hiram
king
of
Tyre
sent
messengers
to
David,
and
cedar
trees,
also
carpenters
and
masons
who
built
David
a
house.
5:12 And
David
knew
that
the
LORD
had
established
him
king
over
Israel,
and
that
he
had
exalted
his
kingdom
for
the
sake
of
his
people
Israel.
5:13 And
David
took
more
concubines
and
wives
from
Jerusalem,
after
he
came
from
Hebron,
and
more
sons
and
daughters
were
born
to
David.
5:14 And
these
are
the
names
of
those
who
were
born
to
him
in
Jerusalem:
Shammua,
Shobab,
Nathan,
Solomon,
5:15 Ibhar,
Elishua,
Nepheg,
Japhia,
5:16 Elishama,
Eliada,
and
Eliphelet.
5:17 When
the
Philistines
heard
that
David
had
been
anointed
king
over
Israel,
all
the
Philistines
went
up
to
search
for
David.
But
David
heard
of
it
and
went
down
to
the
stronghold.
5:18 Now
the
Philistines
had
come
and
spread
out
in
the
Valley
of
Rephaim.
5:19 And
David
inquired
of
the
LORD,
"Shall
I
go
up
against
the
Philistines
Will
you
give
them
into
my
hand"
And
the
LORD
said
to
David,
"Go
up,
for
I
will
certainly
give
the
Philistines
into
your
hand."
5:20 And
David
came
to
Baal-perazim,
and
David
defeated
them
there.
And
he
said,
"The
LORD
has
burst
through
my
enemies
before
me
like
a
bursting
flood."
Therefore
the
name
of
that
place
is
called
Baal-perazim.
5:21 And
the
Philistines
left
their
idols
there,
and
David
and
his
men
carried
them
away.
5:22 And
the
Philistines
came
up
yet
again
and
spread
out
in
the
Valley
of
Rephaim.
5:23 And
when
David
inquired
of
the
LORD,
he
said,
"You
shall
not
go
up;
go
around
to
their
rear,
and
come
against
them
opposite
the
balsam
trees.
5:24 And
when
you
hear
the
sound
of
marching
in
the
tops
of
the
balsam
trees,
then
rouse
yourself,
for
then
the
LORD
has
gone
out
before
you
to
strike
down
the
army
of
the
Philistines."
5:25 And
David
did
as
the
LORD
commanded
him,
and
struck
down
the
Philistines
from
Geba
to
Gezer.
