EasyEnglish Bible

David comes to live in Jerusalem

⁹ Then David went to live in the strong place of the city. He called it ‘The City of David’. He built more houses all around it, from the edge of the hill into the city. ¹⁰ David became more and more powerful because the Lord God Almighty was with him.

¹¹ Then Hiram, king of Tyre, sent some of his men to David. They brought wood from Lebanon's cedar trees. Men who could work with wood and stone also came. They built a palace for David.
