and Yahweh said to you, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be a ruler over Israel.’” <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/5-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David cut a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh; then they anointed David king over Israel. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/5-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>Now David was thirty years old when he became king, <i>and</i> he reigned forty years. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/5-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>At Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah. <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/5-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>Then the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, and they said to <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>David, “You shall not come in here, but the blind and lame will turn you away”; <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>thinking, “David cannot enter here.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/5-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion, that is the city of David. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/5-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>And David said on that day, “Whoever would strike down the Jebusites, let him reach the lame and the blind, who are hated by David’s soul, through the water tunnel.” Therefore they say, “The blind or the lame shall not come into the house.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/5-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Then David lived in the fortress and called it the city of David. And David built all around from the <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>Millo and inward. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/5-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>And David became greater and greater, and Yahweh, the God of hosts, was with him. <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/5-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees and craftsmen of wood and craftsmen of stone walls; and they built a house for David. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/5-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Thus David knew that Yahweh had established him as king over Israel, and that He had lifted up his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel. <p class="hdg">Children Born to David in Jerusalem</p><p><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/5-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>And David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, after he came from Hebron; and more sons and daughters were born to David. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/5-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Now these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/5-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia, <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/5-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>Elishama, Eliada and Eliphelet. <p class="hdg">David Goes Up Against the Philistines</p><p><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_samuel/5-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>Then the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, so all the Philistines went up to seek out David.
