David’s Family Grows

(2 Samuel 5:12–16)

14 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, stonemasons, and carpenters, to build a palace for him. 2 And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had highly exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.

3 And David took more wives in Jerusalem [and] became the father of more sons and daughters. 4 These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua,[fn] Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, 6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, 7 Elishama, Beeliada,[fn] and Eliphelet.
