13And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron; and there were yet sons and daughters born to David. 14And these are the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon; 15and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia; 16and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet.
17And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold. 18Now the Philistines had come and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 19And David inquired of the Lord, saying: 'Shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt Thou deliver them into my hand?' And the Lord said unto David: 'Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into thy hand.' 20And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and he said: 'The Lord hath broken mine enemies before me, like the breach of waters.' Therefore the name of that place was called [1]Baal-perazim. 21And they left their images there, and David and his men took them away.
22And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 23And when David inquired of the Lord, He said: 'Thou shalt not go up; make a circuit behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees. 24And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself; for then is the Lord gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.' 25And David did so, as the Lord commanded him, and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gezer.
6And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand. 2And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him, from Baale-judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whereupon is called the Name, even the name of the Lord of hosts that sitteth upon the cherubim. 3And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart. 4And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in the hill, with the ark of God, and Ahio went before the ark. 5And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord with all manner of instruments made of cypress-wood, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with sistra, and with cymbals.
6And when they came to the threshing-floor of Nacon, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen stumbled. 7And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God. 8And David was displeased, because the Lord had broken forth upon Uzzah; and that place was called [2]Perez-uzzah, unto this day 9And David was afraid of the Lord that day; and he said: 'How shall the ark of the Lord come unto me?' 10So David would not remove the ark of the Lord unto him into the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. 11And the ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months;
