1Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, along with cedar wood, wall artificers, and wood artificers, to build a house for him.2David knew that the LORD had established him as king over Israel, because his royalty had been lifted on high for the sake of his people Israel.3David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David fathered more sons and daughters.4These are the names of the children who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon.5Ibhar, Elishua, and Eliphelet.6Nogah, Nepheg, and Japhia.7Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
