2 Samuel 5

5
1Then came all the tribes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to David [beloved] unto Hevron [Seat of Association], and spoke, saying, Behold, we [are] youi bone and youi flesh.
2Also in time past, when Sha’ul [desired] was king over us, youi were he that led out and brought in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: and the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said to youi, youi shall feed my people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and youi shall be a captain over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
3So all the elders of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] came to the king to Hevron [Seat of Association]; and king David [beloved] made a league with them in Hevron [Seat of Association] before the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): and they anointed David [beloved] king over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
4David [beloved] [was] thirty years old when he began to reign, [and] he reigned forty years.
5In Hevron [Seat of Association] he reigned over Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] seven years and six months: and in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] he reigned thirty and three years over all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] and Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].
6And the king and his men went to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] unto the Y’vusi [Threshers, Trampled Under Foot], the inhabitants of the land: which spoke unto David [beloved], saying, Except youi take away the blind and the lame, youi shall not come in here: thinking, David [beloved] cannot come in here.
7Nevertheless David [beloved] took the strong hold of Tziyon [parched place]: the same [is] the city of David [beloved].
8And David [beloved] said on that day, Whosoever gets up to the gutter, and smites the Y’vusi [Threshers, Trampled Under Foot], and the lame and the blind, [that are] hated of David’s [beloved]’s soul, [he shall be chief and captain]. For what reason they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.
9So David [beloved] dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David [beloved]. And David [beloved] built round about from Millo [fortification (defensive structure) or mound] and inward.
10And David [beloved] went on, and grew great, and the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] [was] with him.
11And Hiram [noble] king of Tzor (Tyre) [a rock] sent messengers to David [beloved], and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David [beloved] an house.
12And David [beloved] perceived that the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had established him king over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Yisra’el’s [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] sake.
13And David [beloved] took [him] more concubines and wives out of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], after he was come from Hevron [Seat of Association]: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David [beloved].
14And these [be] the names of those that were born unto him in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]; Shamua [Renowned], and Shovav [rebellious], and Natan [giver], and Shlomo (Solomon) [peace],
15Yivchar [Yehovah chooses] also, and Elishua [my God is wealth], and Nefeg [Weak, Slacked], and Yafia [Shining],
16And Elishama [My God has Heard], and El-yada [God knows], and Elifelet [God is deliverance].
17But when the P’lishtim [Immigrants] heard that they had anointed David [beloved] king over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], all the P’lishtim [Immigrants] came up to seek David [beloved]; and David [beloved] heard [of it], and went down to the hold.
18The P’lishtim [Immigrants] also came and spread themselves in the valley of Refa’im [giants].
19And David [beloved] enquired of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), saying, Shall I go up to the P’lishtim [Immigrants]? will youi deliver them into my hand? And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto David [beloved], Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the P’lishtim [Immigrants] into youi hand.
20And David [beloved] came to Ba’al-P’ratzim [lord of the breaks], and David [beloved] struck them there, and said, The Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has broken forth upon my enemies before me, as the breach (breaking forth; a break; opening, inlet) of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Ba’al-P’ratzim [lord of the breaks].
21And there they left their images, and David [beloved] and his men burned them.
22And the P’lishtim [Immigrants] came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Refa’im [giants].
23And when David [beloved] enquired of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), he said, youi shall not go up; [but] fetch a compass (go around, encircle; encompass) behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
24And let it be, when youi hear the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then youi shall bestir yourself: for then shall the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) go out before youi, to strike the host of the P’lishtim [Immigrants].
25And David [beloved] did so, as the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had commanded him; and struck the P’lishtim [Immigrants] from Geva [hill] until youi come to Gezer [portion].
