12
So David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel, and that He had exalted His kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
13
And David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron. Also more sons and daughters were born to David.
14
Now these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15
Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
16
Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
17
Now when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it and went down to the stronghold.
18
The Philistines also went and deployed themselves in the Valley of Rephaim.
19
So David inquired of the Lord, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?" And the Lord said to David, "Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand."
20
So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, "The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water." Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
21
And they left their images there, and David and his men carried them away.
22
Then the Philistines went up once again and deployed themselves in the Valley of Rephaim.
