2 Samuel 5 — Context

And David took more women and wives in Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron: and he had more sons and daughters.

These are the names of those whose birth took place in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab and Nathan and Solomon

And Ibhar and Elishua and Nepheg and Japhia

And Elishama and Eliada and Eliphelet.

And when the Philistines had news that David had been made king over Israel, they all went up in search of David; and David, hearing of it, went down to the strong place.

And when the Philistines came, they went in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.

And David, desiring directions from the Lord, said, Am I to go up against the Philistines? will you give them up into my hands? And the Lord said, Go up, for I will certainly give up the Philistines into your hands.
