## 2 Samuel 5:13-25 in Context (Verses 10–25 KJV)
 
 [10 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/10) And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts *was* with him.*
 
 [11 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/11) ¶ And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house.*
 
 [12 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/12) And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/13) ¶ And David took *him* more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/14) And these *be* the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
 
 [15 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/15) Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
 
 [16 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/16) And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/17) ¶ But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard *of it*, and went down to the hold.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/18) The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/19) And David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/20) And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim.*
 
 [21 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/21) And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.*
 
 [22 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/22) ¶ And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/23) And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up; *but* fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/24) And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/25) And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.*
