David Settles in Jerusalem^(A)

14 After this, King Hiram of Tyre sent a delegation to David, accompanied by cedar^[a] logs, stone masons, and wood workers, to construct a palace for him. ² David realized that the Lord was affirming him as king over Israel, and that his government was being exalted in order to benefit his people Israel. ³ But while he was living in Jerusalem, David married more wives and fathered more sons and daughters. ⁴ Here’s a list of the children whom he fathered while in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, ⁵ Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, ⁶ Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, ⁷ Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
