13. And Dawiḏ took more concubines and wives from Yerushalayim, after he had come from Ḥeḇron, and more sons and daughters were born to Dawiḏ.
14. And these were the names of those born to him in Yerushalayim: Shammua, and Shoḇaḇ, and Nathan, and Shelomoh,
15. and Yiḇḥar, and Elishua, and Nepheg̅, and Yaphiya,
16. and Elishama, and Elyaḏa, and Eliphelet.
17. And the Philistines heard that they had anointed Dawiḏ sovereign over Yisra’ĕl, and all the Philistines went up to search for Dawiḏ, but Dawiḏ heard and went down to the stronghold.
18. And the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the Valley of Repha’im.
19. And Dawiḏ inquired of יהוה, saying, “Do I go up against the Philistines? Do You give them into my hand?” And יהוה said to Dawiḏ, “Go up, for I shall certainly give the Philistines into your hand.”
20. And Dawiḏ came to Ba‛al Peratsim, and Dawiḏ smote them there. And he said, “יהוה has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water.” So he called the name of that place Ba‛al Peratsim.
21. And they left their images there, and Dawiḏ and his men took them away.
22. And the Philistines again came up and were spread out in the Valley of Repha’im.
23. And when Dawiḏ inquired of יהוה, He said, “Do not go up, turn around behind them, and you shall come upon them in front of the mulberry trees.
24. “And it shall be, when you hear the sound of stepping in the tops of the mulberry trees, then act promptly, for then יהוה shall go out before you to smite the camp of the Philistines.”
25. And Dawiḏ did so, as יהוה commanded him, and smote the Philistines from Geḇa as far as Gezer.
