11. King Hiram of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar wood, carpenters, and stonemasons, and they built a house for David.
12. Then David understood that the Lord had appointed him king over Israel, and that He had exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
13. David took more concubines and wives in Jerusalem, after having come from Hebron, and they bore him more sons and daughters.
14. These are the names of the children 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 of the Philistines went up to search for David, but David heard about this and went down to the stronghold.
18. Now the Philistines had come and were spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
19. So David asked the Lord, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You give them into my hand?”The Lord said to David, “Go up, because I will certainly give them into your hand.”
20. So David came to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. He said, “The Lord has breached my enemies before me like bursting tides.” Therefore, he named that place Baal Perazim.
21. The Philistines abandoned their idols there, and David and his men carried them away.
