1. And Ḥiram sovereign of Tsor sent messengers to Dawiḏ, and cedar trees, with stonemasons and carpenters, to build him a house.
2. And Dawiḏ knew that יהוה had established him as sovereign over Yisra’ĕl, for his reign was highly exalted for the sake of His people Yisra’ĕl.
3. And Dawiḏ took more wives in Yerushalayim, and Dawiḏ brought forth more sons and daughters.
4. And these are the names of his children whom he had in Yerushalayim: Shammua and Shoḇaḇ, Nathan and Shelomoh,
5. and Yiḇḥar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
6. and Nog̅ah, and Nepheg̅, and Yaphiya,
7. and Elishama, and Be‛elyaḏa, and Eliphelet.
8. And when the Philistines heard that Dawiḏ had been anointed sovereign over all Yisra’ĕl, all the Philistines went up to seek Dawiḏ. And Dawiḏ heard and went out against them.
9. And the Philistines came and made a raid on the Valley of Repha’im.
10. And Dawiḏ inquired of Elohim, saying, “Do I go up against the Philistines? And shall You give them into my hand?” And יהוה said to him, “Go up, and I shall give them into your hand.”
