And this is why they say, The blind and feeble-footed may not come into the house. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> So David took the strong tower for his living-place, naming it the town of David. And David took in hand the building of the town all round, starting from the Millo. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> And David became greater and greater; for the Lord, the God of armies, was with him. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent men to David, with cedar-trees and woodworkers and stoneworkers: and they made David a house. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> And David saw that the Lord had made his position safe as king over Israel, and that he had made his kingdom great because of his people Israel. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> And David took more women and wives in Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron: and he had more sons and daughters. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> These are the names of those whose birth took place in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab and Nathan and Solomon <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> And Ibhar and Elishua and Nepheg and Japhia <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> And Elishama and Eliada and Eliphelet. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> And when the Philistines had news that David had been made king over Israel, they all went up in search of David; and David, hearing of it, went down to the strong place. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> And when the Philistines came, they went in every direction in the valley of Rephaim. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> And David, desiring directions from the Lord, said, Am I to go up against the Philistines? will you give them up into my hands? And the Lord said, Go up, for I will certainly give up the Philistines into your hands. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> And David went to Baal-perazim, and overcame them there; and he said, The Lord has let the forces fighting against me be broken before me as a wall is broken by rushing waters. So that place was named Baal-perazim. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> And the Philistines, when they went in flight, did not take their images with them, and David and his men took them away. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> And the Philistines came up again, and went in every direction in the valley of Rephaim. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> And when David went for directions to the Lord, he said, You are not to go up against them in front; but make a circle round them from the back and come on them opposite the spice-trees. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> Then at the sound of footsteps in the tops of the trees, go forward quickly, for the Lord has gone out before you to overcome the army of the Philistines. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> And David did as the Lord had said; and he overcame the Philistines, attacking them from Gibeon to near Gezer. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n
