Chapter 5
Then
came
all
the
tribes
of
Israel
to
David
unto
Hebron,
and
spake,
saying,
Behold,
we
are
thy
bone
and
thy
flesh.
2
Also
in
time
past,
when
Saul
was
king
over
us,
thou
wast
he
that
leddest
out
and
broughtest
in
Israel:
and
the
Lord
said
to
thee,
Thou
shalt
feed
my
people
Israel,
and
thou
shalt
be
a
captain
over
Israel.
3
So
all
the
elders
of
Israel
came
to
the
king
to
Hebron;
and
king
David
made
a
league
with
them
in
Hebron
before
the
Lord:
and
they
anointed
David
king
over
Israel.
4
David
was
thirty
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign,
and
he
reigned
forty
years.
5
In
Hebron
he
reigned
over
Judah
seven
years
and
six
months:
and
in
Jerusalem
he
reigned
thirty
and
three
years
over
all
Israel
and
Judah.
6
And
the
king
and
his
men
went
to
Jerusalem
unto
the
Jebusites,
the
inhabitants
of
the
land:
which
spake
unto
David,
saying,
Except
thou
take
away
the
blind
and
the
lame,
thou
shalt
not
come
in
hither:
thinking,
David
cannot
come
in
hither.
7
Nevertheless
David
took
the
strong
hold
of
Zion:
the
same
is
the
city
of
David.
8
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.
9
So
David
dwelt
in
the
fort,
and
called
it
the
city
of
David.
And
David
built
round
about
from
Millo
and
inward.
10
And
David
went
on,
and
grew
great,
and
the
Lord
God
of
hosts
was
with
him.
11
And
Hiram
king
of
Tyre
sent
messengers
to
David,
and
cedar
trees,
and
carpenters,
and
masons:
and
they
built
David
an
house.
12
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.
13
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.
14
And
these
be
the
names
of
those
that
were
born
unto
him
in
Jerusalem;
Shammua,
and
Shobab,
and
Nathan,
and
Solomon,
15
Ibhar
also,
and
Elishua,
and
Nepheg,
and
Japhia,
16
And
Elishama,
and
Eliada,
and
Eliphalet.
17
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.
18
The
Philistines
also
came
and
spread
themselves
in
the
valley
of
Rephaim.
19
And
David
inquired
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.
20
And
David
came
to
Baal-perazim,
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
Baal-perazim.
21
And
there
they
left
their
images,
and
David
and
his
men
burned
them.
22
And
the
Philistines
came
up
yet
again,
and
spread
themselves
in
the
valley
of
Rephaim.
23
And
when
David
inquired
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.
24
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.
25
And
David
did
so,
as
the
Lord
had
commanded
him;
and
smote
the
Philistines
from
Geba
until
thou
come
to
Gazer.
