141 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees , masons e and carpenters e , to build a house for him. 2 And David realized that the Lord had established him as king over Israel , and that his kingdom was highly exalted , for the sake of His people Israel .
3 Then David took more wives at Jerusalem , and David became the father of more sons and daughters . 4 These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem : Shammua , Shobab , Nathan , Solomon , 5 Ibhar , Elishua , Elpelet , 6 Nogah , Nepheg , Japhia , 7 Elishama , Beeliada and Eliphelet .
