*Dauid is made King ouer all Israél. 6 He taketh the forte of Zion: 19 He asketh counsel of the Lord, and ouercometh the Philistims twise.*
4.Dauid was thirty yere olde when he began to reigne: and he reigned fourty yere.
6.¶ The King also and his men went to Ierusalém vnto the Iebusites, ŷ inhabitants of of of the land: who spake vnto Dauid, saying, Except thou take away the c blinde and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking y Dauid colde not come thither.
7.But Dauid toke the forte of Zión: this is the citie of Dauid.
8.Now Dauid had said y same day, Whosoeuer smiteth the Iebusites, & getteth vp to the gutters & smiteth the lame & blinde, which Dauids soule hateth, I wil preferre him: * therefore they said, The blinde and the lame shal not d come into that house.
9.So Dauid dwelt in that forte, and called it the citie of Dauid, and Dauid buylt rounde about it, from e Milló, and inwarde.
10.And Dauid prospered and grewe: for the Lord God of hostes was with him.
11.a Hirám also King of * Tyrus sent messengers, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons for walles: and they buylt Dauid an house.
12.Then Dauid knewe, that the Lord had stablished him King ouer Israél, and that he had exalted his kingdome for his people Israels sake.
13.And Dauid toke him mo * concubines & wiues out of Ierusalém, after he was come from Hebrón; and mo sonnes and daughters were borne to Dauid.
14.* And these be the names of the sonnes that were borne vnto him in Ierusalém: Shammúa, and Shobáb, and Nathán, and Solomón,
15.And Ibhár, and Elishúa; and Népheg, and Iaphía,
16.And Elishamá, & Eliadá, and Eliphálet.
17.* But when the Philistims heard that they had anointed Dauid King ouer Israél, all the Philistims came vp to seke Dauid: and when Dauid heard, he wẽt downe to a forte.
18.But the Philistims came, and spred them selues in the valley of Repháim.
19.Then Dauid f asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shal I go vp to the Philistims? wilt thou deliuer them into mine hands? And the Lord answered Dauid, Go vp: for I wil doutles deliuer the Philistims into thine hands.
20.* Then Dauid came to Baal perazím, and smote them there, & said, The Lord hathe deuided mine enemies asondre before me, as waters be deuided asondre: therefore he called the name of that place, * Baal-perazím.
21.And there they left their images, & Dauid and his men * burnt them.
22.Againe the Philistims came vp, & spred them selues in the valley of g Repháim.
23.And when Dauid asked counsel of the Lord, He answered, Thou shalt not go vp, but turne about behinde thẽ, & come vpon them ouer against the mulbery trees.
24.And whẽ thou hearest the noyse of one going in the toppes of the mulbery trees, then remoue: for then shal the Lord go out before thee, to smite the hoste of the Philistims.
25.Then Dauid did so as the Lord had commanded him, and smote the Philistims frõ Géba, vntil thou come to h Gázer.
