2 Samuel 5:1-21

5:1

Then came
<0935> (8799)

all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>

to David
<01732>

unto Hebron
<02275>_,

and spake
<0559> (8799)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, we [are] thy bone
<06106>

and thy flesh
<01320>_.

5:2

Also in time past
<0865> <08032>_,

when Saul
<07586>

was king
<04428>

over us, thou wast he that leddest out
<03318> (8688)

and broughtest in
<0935> (8688)

Israel
<03478>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

to thee, Thou shalt feed
<07462> (8799)

my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

and thou shalt be a captain
<05057>

over Israel
<03478>_.

5:3

So all the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>

came
<0935> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

to Hebron
<02275>_;

and king
<04428>

David
<01732>

made
<03772> (8799)

a league
<01285>

with them in Hebron
<02275>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_:

and they anointed
<04886> (8799)

David
<01732>

king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_.

5:4

David
<01732>

[was] thirty
<07970>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,

[and] he reigned
<04427> (8804)

forty
<0705>

years
<08141>_.

5:5

In Hebron
<02275>

he reigned
<04427> (8804)

over Judah
<03063>

seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

and six
<08337>

months
<02320>_:

and in Jerusalem
<03389>

he reigned
<04427> (8804)

thirty
<07970>

and three
<07969>

years
<08141>

over all Israel
<03478>

and Judah
<03063>_.

5:6

And the king
<04428>

and his men
<0582>

went
<03212> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

unto the Jebusites
<02983>_,

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_:

which spake
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Except thou take away
<05493> (8687)

the blind
<05787>

and the lame
<06455>_,

thou shalt not come in
<0935> (8799)

hither: thinking
<0559> (8800)_,

David
<01732>

cannot come in
<0935> (8799)

hither. {thinking...: or, saying David shall not, etc}

5:7

Nevertheless David
<01732>

took
<03920> (8799)

the strong hold
<04686>

of Zion
<06726>_:

the same [is] the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_.

5:8

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

on that day
<03117>_,

Whosoever getteth up
<05060> (8799)

to the gutter
<06794>_,

and smiteth
<05221> (8688)

the Jebusites
<02983>_,

and the lame
<06455>

and the blind
<05787>_,

[that are] hated
<08130> (8803)

of David's
<01732>

soul
<05315>_,

[he shall be chief and captain]. Wherefore they said
<0559> (8799)_,

The blind
<05787>

and the lame
<06455>

shall not come
<0935> (8799)

into the house
<01004>_.

{Wherefore...: or, Because they had said, even the blind and the lame, He shall not}

5:9

So David
<01732>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the fort
<04686>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

it the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_.

And David
<01732>

built
<01129> (8799)

round about
<05439>

from Millo
<04407>

and inward
<01004>_.

5:10

And David
<01732>

went
<03212> (8799)

on
<01980> (8800)_,

and grew great
<01419>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>

[was] with him. {went...: Heb. went, going and growing}

5:11

And Hiram
<02438>

king
<04428>

of Tyre
<06865>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

to David
<01732>_,

and cedar
<0730>

trees
<06086>_,

and carpenters
<02796>_,

and masons
<07023> <068>_:

and they built
<01129> (8799)

David
<01732>

an house
<01004>_.

{masons: Heb. hewers of the stone of the wall}

5:12

And David
<01732>

perceived
<03045> (8799)

that the LORD
<03068>

had established
<03559> (8689)

him king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_,

and that he had exalted
<05375> (8765)

his kingdom
<04467>

for his people
<05971>

Israel's
<03478>

sake.

5:13

And David
<01732>

took
<03947> (8799)

[him] more concubines
<06370>

and wives
<0802>

out of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

after
<0310>

he was come
<0935> (8800)

from Hebron
<02275>_:

and there were yet sons
<01121>

and daughters
<01323>

born
<03205> (8735)

to David
<01732>_.

5:14

And these [be] the names
<08034>

of those that were born
<03209>

unto him in Jerusalem
<03389>_;

Shammua
<08051>_,

and Shobab
<07727>_,

and Nathan
<05416>_,

and Solomon
<08010>_,

5:15

Ibhar
<02984>

also, and Elishua
<0474>_,

and Nepheg
<05298>_,

and Japhia
<03309>_,

5:16

And Elishama
<0476>_,

and Eliada
<0450>_,

and Eliphalet
<0467>_.

5:17

But when the Philistines
<06430>

heard
<08085> (8799)

that they had anointed
<04886> (8804)

David
<01732>

king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_,

all the Philistines
<06430>

came up
<05927> (8799)

to seek
<01245> (8763)

David
<01732>_;

and David
<01732>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[of it], and went down
<03381> (8799)

to the hold
<04686>_.

5:18

The Philistines
<06430>

also came
<0935> (8804)

and spread
<05203> (8735)

themselves in the valley
<06010>

of Rephaim
<07497>_.

5:19

And David
<01732>

enquired
<07592> (8799)

of the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Shall I go up
<05927> (8799)

to the Philistines
<06430>_?

wilt thou deliver
<05414> (8799)

them into mine hand
<03027>_?

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

Go up
<05927> (8798)_:

for I will doubtless
<05414> (8800)

deliver
<05414> (8799)

the Philistines
<06430>

into thine hand
<03027>_.

5:20

And David
<01732>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Baalperazim
<01188>_,

and David
<01732>

smote
<05221> (8686)

them there, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

The LORD
<03068>

hath broken forth
<06555> (8804)

upon mine enemies
<0341> (8802)

before
<06440>

me, as the breach
<06556>

of waters
<04325>_.

Therefore he called
<07121> (8804)

the name
<08034>

of that place
<04725>

Baalperazim
<01188>_.

{Baalperazim: that is, the plain of breaches}

5:21

And there they left
<05800> (8799)

their images
<06091>_,

and David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

burned
<05375> (8799)

them. {burned...: or, took them away}
