2 Sam. 5:1‑25• ¹Then came all the tribes of Israel to David to Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
²Even aforetime, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel; and Jehovah said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel.
³And all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah; and they anointed David king over Israel.
⁴David was thirty years old when he began to reign; he reigned forty years.
⁵In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
⁶And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land; and they spoke to David, saying, Thou shalt not come in hither, but the blind and the lame will drive thee back; as much as to say, David will not come in hither.
⁷But David took the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David.
⁸And David said on that day, Whoever smites the Jebusites and gets up to the watercourse, and the lame and the blind hated of David's soul …! Therefore they say, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.
⁹So David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from the Millo and inward.

¹⁵and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
¹⁶and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet.

¹⁹And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt thou give them into my hand? And Jehovah said to David, Go up; for I will certainly give the Philistines into thy hand.
²⁰And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and he said, Jehovah has broken in upon mine enemies before me, as the breaking forth of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
²¹And they left their images there, and David and his men took them away.
²²And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
²³And David inquired of Jehovah; and he said, Thou shalt not go up; turn round behind them and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees.
²⁴And it shall be, when thou hearest a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself; for then will Jehovah have gone forth before thee, to smite the army of the Philistines.
²⁵And David did so, as Jehovah had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou comest to Gezer. (2 Sam. 5:1‑25)

⁷And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
⁸And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much bronze.
⁹And Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the forces of Hadadezer;
¹⁰and Toi sent Joram his son to king David, to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and smitten him; for Hadadezer was continually at war with Toi. And he brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze.

³And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, Is it, in thine eyes, to honour thy father that David has sent comforters to thee? Is it not to search the city and to spy it out, and to overthrow it, that David has sent his servants to thee?
⁴And Hanun took David's servants, and had the one half of their beards shaved off, and their raiment cut off in the midst, as far as their buttocks, and sent them away.

⁷And David heard of it, and he sent Joab, and all the host, the mighty men.

⁹And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind; and he chose out of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians;
¹⁰and the rest of the people he gave into the hand of Abishai his brother that he might array them against the children of Ammon.
¹¹And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me; and if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.
¹²Be strong, and let us shew ourselves valiant for our people and for the cities of our God; and Jehovah do what is good in his sight.
¹³And Joab drew near, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians; and they fled before him.
¹⁴And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians fled, they fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. And Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
