2 Samuel 5:10-12
5:10 David’s power grew steadily, for the
Lord God
who commands armies
was with him.
5:11 King Hiram of Tyre sent messengers to David, along with cedar logs, carpenters, and stonemasons. They built a palace for David.
5:12 David realized that the Lord had established him as king over Israel and that he had elevated his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.
