2 Samuel 5:11-16

GOD’S WORD Translation

David’s Palace, Wives, and Children in Jerusalem^(A)

¹¹ Then King Hiram of Tyre sent messengers to David, along with cedarwood, carpenters, and stonemasons. They built a palace for David. ¹² So David realized that the Lord had established him as king of Israel and made his kingship famous for the sake of Israel, the Lord’s people.

¹³ David married more concubines ^[a] and wives from Jerusalem after he had come there from Hebron, and he fathered more sons and daughters. ¹⁴ These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, ¹⁵ Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia, ¹⁶ Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
