1Now Hiram [noble] king of Tzor (Tyre) [a rock] sent messengers to David [beloved], and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house. 2And David [beloved] perceived that the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had confirmed him king over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

3And David [beloved] took more wives at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]: and David [beloved] begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) more sons and daughters. 4Now these [are] the names of [his] children which he had in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]; Shamua [Renowned], and Shovav [rebellious], Natan [giver], and Shlomo (Solomon) [peace], 5And Yivchar [Yeshovah chooses], and Elishua [my God is wealth], and Elpalet [God is deliverance], 6And Nogah [brightness], and Nefeg [Weak, Slacked], and Yafia [Shining], 7And Elishama [My God has Heard], and Be’elyada [the lord knows], and Elifelet [God is deliverance].

8And when the P’lishtim [Immigrants] heard that David [beloved] was anointed king over all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], all the P’lishtim [Immigrants] went up to seek David [beloved]. And David [beloved] heard [of it], and went out against them. 9And the P’lishtim [Immigrants] came and spread themselves in the valley of Refa’im [giants]. 10And David [beloved] enquired of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], saying, Shall I go up against the P’lishtim [Immigrants]? and will youⁱ deliver them into my hand? And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into youⁱ hand. 11So they came up to Ba’al-P’ratzim [lord of the breaks]; and David [beloved] struck them there. Then David [beloved] said, God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] has broken in upon my enemies by my hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Ba’al-P’ratzim [lord of the breaks]. 12And when they had left their gods there, David [beloved] gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.

13And the P’lishtim [Immigrants] yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley. 14Therefore David [beloved] enquired again of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; and God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees. 15And it shall be, when youⁱ shall hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, [that] then youⁱ shall go out to battle: for God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] is gone forth before youⁱ to strike the host of the P’lishtim [Immigrants]. 16David [beloved] therefore did as God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] commanded him: and they struck the host of the P’lishtim [Immigrants] from Giv’on [Hill City] even to Gezer [portion]. 17And the fame of David [beloved] went out into all lands; and the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) brought the fear of him upon all nations.
