10:005:008 And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth
up to the
gutter,
and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind
that
are hated of David’s soul, he shall be chief
and captain.
Wherefore
they said, The blind and the lame shall not come
into
the house.
10:005:009 So David dwelt in the fort, and called
it the city of David.
And
David built round about from Millo and inward.
10:005:010 And David went on, and grew great, and
the lord God of hosts
was
with him.
10:005:011 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers
to David, and cedar
trees,
and carpenters, and masons: and they built David
an
house.
10:005:012 And David perceived that the lord
had established him king
over
Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his
people
Israel’s sake.
10:005:013 And David took him more concubines and
wives out of Jerusalem,
after
he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons
and
daughters
born to David.
10:005:014 And these be the names of those that were
born unto him in
Jerusalem;
Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
10:005:015 Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
10:005:016 And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.
10:005:017 But when the Philistines heard that they
had anointed David
king
over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David;
and
David heard of it, and went down to the hold.
10:005:018 The Philistines also came and spread themselves
in the valley
of
Rephaim.
10:005:019 And David enquired of the lord, saying,
Shall I go up to the
Philistines?
wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the
lord
said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver
the
Philistines
into thine hand.
10:005:020 And David came to Baalperazim, and David
smote them there, and
said,
The lord hath broken forth upon mine enemies before
me,
as
the breach of waters. Therefore he called the
name of that
place
Baalperazim.
10:005:021 And there they left their images, and David
and his men burned
them.
10:005:022 And the Philistines came up yet again,
and spread themselves
in
the valley of Rephaim.
10:005:023 And when David enquired of the lord,
he said, Thou shalt not
go
up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon
them
over
against the mulberry trees.
10:005:024 And let it be, when thou hearest the sound
of a going in the
tops
of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir
thyself:
for then shall the lord go out before thee, to
smite
the
host of the Philistines.
