2 Samuel 5

1 The Tribes come to Hebron to anoint David over Israel. 4 David's age. 6 He taking Zion from the Jebusites dwelleth in it. 11 Hiram sendeth to David. 13 Eleven sons are born to him in Jerusalem. 17 David directed by God smiteth the Philistines at Baal-perazim, 22 and again at the mulberry trees.

 5:1 ¶ Then came 935 z8799 all x3605 the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478 to x413 David 1732 unto Hebron, 2275 and spake, 559 z8799 saying, 559 z8800 Behold, x2009 we x587 [are] thy bone 6106 and thy flesh. 1320

 5:2 Also x1571 in time past, 865 8032 when Saul 7586 was x1961 king 4428 over x5921 us, thou x859 wast x1961 he that leddest out 3318 z8688 and broughtest x935 x853 in y935 z8688 Israel: 3478 and the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 to thee, Thou x859 shalt feed 7462 z8799 x853 my people 5971 x853 Israel, 3478 and thou x859 shalt be x1961 a captain 5057 over x5921 Israel. 3478

 5:3 So all x3605 the elders 2205 of Israel 3478 came 935 z8799 to x413 the king 4428 to Hebron; 2275 and king 4428 David 1732 made 3772 z8799 a league 1285 with them in Hebron 2275 before 6440 the LORD: 3068 and they anointed 4886 z8799 x853 David 1732 king 4428 over x5921 Israel. 3478

 5:4 ¶ David 1732 [was] thirty 7970 years 8141 old 1121 when he began to reign, 4427 z8800 [and] he reigned 4427 z8804 forty 705 years. 8141

 5:5 In Hebron 2275 he reigned 4427 z8804 over x5921 Judah 3063 seven 7651 years 8141 and six 8337 months: 2320 and in Jerusalem 3389 he reigned 4427 z8804 thirty 7970 and three 7969 years 8141 over x5921 all x3605 Israel 3478 and Judah. 3063

 5:6 ¶ And the king 4428 and his men y582 x376 went y3212 z8799 x1980 to Jerusalem 3389 unto x413 the Jebusites, 2983 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of the land: 776 which spake 559 z8799 unto David, 1732 saying, 559 z8800 Except x3588 x518 thou take away 5493 z8687 the blind 5787 and the lame, 6455 thou shalt not x3808 come in 935 z8799 hither: x2008 thinking, 559 z8800 David 1732 cannot x3808 come in 935 z8799 hither. x2008

 5:7 Nevertheless David 1732 took 3920 z8799 x853 the strong hold 4686 of Zion: 6726 the same x1931 [is] the city 5892 of David. 1732

 5:8 And David 1732 said 559 z8799 on that x1931 day, 3117 Whosoever x3605 getteth up 5060 z8799 to the gutter, 6794 and smiteth 5221 z8688 the Jebusites, 2983 and the lame 6455 and the blind, 5787 [that are] hated 8130 z8803 of David's 1732 soul, 5315 [he shall be chief and captain]. Wherefore x5921 x3651 they said, 559 z8799 The blind 5787 and the lame 6455 shall not x3808 come 935 z8799 into x413 the house. 1004

 5:9 So David 1732 dwelt 3427 z8799 in the fort, 4686 and called 7121 z8799 it the city 5892 of David. 1732 And David 1732 built 1129 z8799 round about 5439 from x4480 Millo 4407 and inward. 1004

 5:10 And David 1732 went y3212 z8799 on, 1980 z8800 and grew great, 1419 and the LORD 3068 God 430 of hosts 6635 [was] with x5973 him.

 5:11 ¶ And Hiram 2438 king 4428 of Tyre 6865 sent 7971 z8799 messengers 4397 to x413 David, 1732 and cedar 730 trees, 6086 and carpenters, 2796 x6086 and masons: 7023 y68 x2796 x18 and they built 1129 z8799 David 1732 an house. 1004

 5:12 And David 1732 perceived 3045 z8799 that x3588 the LORD 3068 had established 3559 z8689 him king 4428 over x5921 Israel, 3478 and that x3588 he had exalted 5375 z8765 his kingdom 4467 for his people 5971 Israel's 3478 sake. x5668

 5:13 ¶ And David 1732 took 3947 z8799 [him] more x5750 concubines 6370 and wives 802 out of Jerusalem, 3389 x4480 after 310 he was come 935 z8800 from Hebron: 2275 x4480 and there were yet x5750 sons 1121 and daughters 1323 born 3205 z8735 to David. 1732

 5:14 And these x428 [be] the names 8034 of those that were born 3209 unto him in Jerusalem; 3389 Shammua, 8051 and Shobab, 7727 and Nathan, 5416 and Solomon, 8010

 5:15 Ibhar 2984 also, and Elishua, 474 and Nepheg, 5298 and Japhia, 3309

 5:16 And Elishama, 476 and Eliada, 450 and Eliphalet. 467

 5:17 ¶ But when the Philistines 6430 heard 8085 z8799 that x3588 they had anointed 4886 z8804 x853 David 1732 king 4428 over x5921 Israel, 3478 all x3605 the Philistines 6430 came up 5927 z8799 to seek 1245 z8763 x853 David; 1732 and David 1732 heard 8085 z8799 [of it], and went down 3381 z8799 to x413 the hold. 4686

 5:18 The Philistines 6430 also came 935 z8804 and spread y5203 z8735 themselves x5203 in the valley 6010 of Rephaim. 7497

 5:19 And David 1732 enquired 7592 z8799 of the LORD, 3068 saying, 559 z8800 Shall I go up 5927 z8799 to x413 the Philistines? 6430 wilt thou deliver 5414 z8799 them into mine hand? 3027 And the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 unto x413 David, 1732 Go up: 5927 z8798 for x3588 I will doubtless y5414 z8800 deliver 5414 z8799 x853 the Philistines 6430 into thine hand. 3027

 5:20 And David 1732 came 935 z8799 to Baalperazim, 1188 and David 1732 smote 5221 z8686 them there, x8033 and said, 559 z8799 The LORD 3068 hath broken forth y6555 z8804 upon x6555 x853 mine enemies 341 z8802 before 6440 me, as the breach 6556 of waters. 4325 Therefore x5921 x3651 he called 7121 z8804 the name 8034 of that x1931 place 4725 Baalperazim. 1188

 5:21 And there x8033 they left 5800 z8799 x853 their images, 6091 and David 1732 and his men y582 x376 burned 5375 z8799 them.

 5:22 ¶ And the Philistines 6430 came up 5927 z8800 yet x5750 again, 3254 z8686 and spread y5203 z8735 themselves x5203 in the valley 6010 of Rephaim. 7497

 5:23 And when David 1732 enquired 7592 z8799 of the LORD, 3068 he said, 559 z8799 Thou shalt not x3808 go up; 5927 z8799 [but] fetch a compass 5437 z8685 x413 behind 310 them, and come 935 z8804 upon them over against 4136 x4480 the mulberry trees. 1057

 5:24 And let it be, x1961 when thou hearest 8085 z8800 x853 the sound 6963 of a going 6807 in the tops 7218 of the mulberry trees, 1057 that then x227 thou shalt bestir 2782 z8799 thyself: for x3588 then x227 shall the LORD 3068 go out 3318 z8804 before 6440 thee, to smite 5221 z8687 the host 4264 of the Philistines. 6430

 5:25 And David 1732 did x6213 so, y6213 z8799 x3651 as x834 the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 z8765 him; and smote 5221 z8686 x853 the Philistines 6430 from Geba 1387 x4480 until thou come 935 z8800 to Gazer. 1507
