2 Samuel 5:10-12

New Century Version

¹⁰ He became stronger and stronger, because the Lord God All-Powerful was with him.

¹¹ Hiram king of the city of Tyre sent messengers to David, along with cedar logs, carpenters, and stonecutters. They built a palace for David. ¹² Then David knew that the Lord really had made him king of Israel and that the Lord had made his kingdom great because the Lord loved his people Israel.
