International Standard Version

1Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, along with cedar logs, stonemasons and carpenters to build a palace for him.

1After this, King Hiram of Tyre sent a delegation to David, accompanied by cedar logs, stone masons, and wood workers, to construct a palace for him.

2And David knew that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and that his kingdom had been highly exalted for the sake of his people Israel.

2David realized that the LORD was affirming him as king over Israel, and that his government was being exalted in order to benefit his people Israel.

3In Jerusalem David took more wives and became the father of more sons and daughters.

3But while he was living in Jerusalem, David married more wives and fathered more sons and daughters.

4These are the names of the children born to him there: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

4Here's a list of the children whom he fathered while in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

5Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,

6Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,

7Elishama, Beeliada and Eliphelet.

7Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

8When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they went up in full force to search for him, but David heard about it and went out to meet them.

8When the Philistines learned that David had been anointed king over all of Israel, all of the Philistines invaded to look for David. David heard about it and went out to fight them.

9Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim;

9Meanwhile, the Philistines had invaded and raided the Rephaim Valley.

10so David inquired of God: "Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hands?" The LORD answered him, "Go, I will deliver them into your hands."

10So David asked God, "Am I to go out against the Philistines? Will you give me victory over them?" "Go out," the LORD replied to him, "and I'll put them right into your hand."

11So David and his men went up to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He said, "As waters break out, God has broken out against my enemies by my hand." So that place was called Baal Perazim.

11So David went out to Baal-perazim and defeated the Philistines there. David observed, "Like an overwhelming flood, God has overwhelmed my enemies, using me to do it." That's why that place is called Baal-perazim.

12The Philistines had abandoned their gods there, and David gave orders to burn them in the fire.

12The Philistines abandoned their gods there, so David ordered that their idols be incinerated.

13Once more the Philistines raided the valley;

13Later the Philistines invaded the Rephaim Valley again.

14so David inquired of God again, and God answered him, "Do not go directly after them, but circle around them and attack them in front of the poplar trees.

14When David asked God about it, God told him, "Don't directly attack them. Instead, go around them and come up against them opposite those balsam trees.

15As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, move out to battle, because that will mean God has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army."

15When you hear the sound of marching coming from the tops of the balsam trees, then go out to battle, because God will have gone out ahead of you to destroy the Philistine army."

16So David did as God commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army, all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.

16So David did just as God had ordered, and they struck down the Philistine army from Gibeon to Gezer.

17So David's fame spread throughout every land, and the LORD made all the nations fear him.

17Then David's reputation spread through all of the neighboring countries, and the LORD caused all nations to be afraid of David.
