1 Chronicles

1 Chronicles 14:1–7

¹Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, stonemasons, and carpenters, to build a palace for him. ²And 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.

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