141 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, also masons and carpenters to build a house for him. 2 And David perceived that the Lord had established him king over Israel, and that his kingdom was highly exalted for the sake of his people Israel.
3 And David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David begot more sons and daughters. 4 These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammu'a, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 5 Ibhar, Eli'shu-a, El'pelet, 6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhi'a, 7 Eli'shama, Beeli'ada, and Eliph'elet.
