WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:07.380 Chapter 5 Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, 00:07.500 --> 00:11.440 saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. 00:11.980 --> 00:17.600 Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leadest out and 00:17.600 --> 00:18.940 broughtest in Israel. 00:19.460 --> 00:25.600 And the Lord said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a 00:25.600 --> 00:27.100 captain over Israel. 00:27.100 --> 00:31.620 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and king David made a 00:31.620 --> 00:35.300 league with them in Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed David king over 00:35.300 --> 00:35.700 Israel. 00:36.560 --> 00:40.640 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. 00:41.340 --> 00:46.160 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he 00:46.160 --> 00:49.120 reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah. 00:49.840 --> 00:54.160 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem under the Jebusites, the inhabitants of 00:54.160 --> 00:58.240 the land, which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind 00:58.240 --> 01:02.860 and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither, thinking, David cannot come in 01:02.860 --> 01:03.200 hither. 01:03.920 --> 01:08.220 Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion, the same as the city of David. 01:08.640 --> 01:12.920 And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the 01:12.920 --> 01:18.560 Jebusites, and the lame and the blind that are hated of David's soul, he shall be 01:18.560 --> 01:19.580 chief and captain. 01:19.860 --> 01:23.500 Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house. 01:23.500 --> 01:26.900 So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. 01:27.340 --> 01:29.700 And David built round about from Millo and inward. 01:30.240 --> 01:34.680 And David went on, and grew great, and the Lord God of hosts was with him. 01:35.520 --> 01:40.840 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, 01:40.920 --> 01:43.180 and masons, and they built David an house. 01:43.840 --> 01:47.060 And David perceived that the Lord had established him king over Israel, 01:47.440 --> 01:50.640 and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake. 01:51.420 --> 01:55.920 And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come 01:55.920 --> 01:56.540 from Hebron. 01:57.000 --> 01:59.340 And there were yet sons and daughters born to David. 02:00.260 --> 02:04.920 And these be the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem, Shemua, 02:05.440 --> 02:12.140 and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nephig, 02:12.400 --> 02:16.200 and Jephiah, and Elishma, and Eliadah, and Eliphelet. 02:16.200 --> 02:20.440 But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, 02:21.100 --> 02:22.920 all the Philistines came up to seek David. 02:23.500 --> 02:25.940 And David heard of it, and went down to the hold. 02:26.660 --> 02:30.140 The Philistines also came, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 02:30.740 --> 02:34.820 And David inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? 02:35.660 --> 02:37.420 Wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? 02:37.660 --> 02:41.900 And the Lord said unto David, Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the 02:41.900 --> 02:43.600 Philistines into thine hand. 02:43.600 --> 02:48.120 And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and said, 02:48.360 --> 02:52.660 The Lord hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me as the breach of waters. 02:52.940 --> 02:55.820 Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim. 02:56.320 --> 02:59.820 And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them. 03:01.020 --> 03:05.020 And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of 03:05.020 --> 03:05.440 Rephaim. 03:06.060 --> 03:09.940 And when David inquired of the Lord, he said, Thou shalt not go up, 03:10.400 --> 03:14.580 but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the 03:14.580 --> 03:15.460 mulberry trees. 03:16.180 --> 03:20.880 And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry 03:20.880 --> 03:24.340 trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself. 03:25.000 --> 03:29.520 For then shall the Lord go out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines. 03:30.080 --> 03:34.320 And David did so, as the Lord had commanded him, And smote the Philistines 03:34.320 --> 03:36.840 from Geba until thou come to Gezer.
