2 Samuel 5
David Made King over
Israel |
1 Chr. 11.1-3 |
1 |
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. 1 Kgs. 2.11 · 1 Chr. 3.4 ; 29.27

David Captures
Zion |
1 Chr. 11.4-9 |
6 |
And the king and his men went to
Jerusalem unto the Jeb'usites, Josh. 15.63 · Judg. 1.21 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 stronghold
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 Jeb'usites, 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.
|
Hiram's Recognition of
David |
1 Chr. 14.1, 2 |
11 |
And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers
to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they
built David a 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.
|
David's Children Born
at Jerusalem |
1 Chr. 3.5 · 7.5 |
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; Shammu'ah, and Shobab, and
Nathan, and Solomon,
|
15 |
Ibhar also, and Elishu'a, and Nepheg, and
Japhi'a,
|
16 |
and Elish'ama, and Eli'ada, and
Eliph'alet.

David Defeats the
Philistines |
1 Chr. 14.8-17 |
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 Reph'a-im.
|
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 Ba'al-per'azim, 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 Ba'al-per'azim. 2
|
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 Reph'a-im.
|
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.
