2 Samuel 5:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ He became stronger and stronger, because the Lord of heaven’s armies was with him.

¹¹ Hiram king of the city of Tyre sent messengers to David. He also sent cedar logs, carpenters and men to cut stone. They built a palace for David. ¹² Then David knew the Lord really had made him king of Israel. And he knew the Lord had made his kingdom very important. This was because the Lord loved his people, the Israelites.
