David Takes More Wives
14 (A)Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees and craftsmen of walls and craftsmen of wood, to build a house for him. 2 Thus David knew that Yahweh had established him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom was lifted up, for the sake of His people Israel.
3 Then David took more wives at Jerusalem, and David [a]became the father of more sons and daughters. 4 (B)These are the names of the children [b]born to him in Jerusalem:
Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

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.
