1 Chronicles 14:1-7
New English Translation

David’s Prestige Grows

14 King Hiram of Tyre sent messengers to David, along with cedar logs, stonemasons,[a] and carpenters to build a palace for him. 2 David realized that the Lord had established him as king over Israel and that he had elevated[b] his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.

3 In Jerusalem David married[c] more wives and fathered more sons and daughters. 4 These are the names of children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, 6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, 7 Elishama, Beeliada,[d] and Eliphelet.
