WHEN Israel was departed every one home, Hiram King of Tyre hear∣ing of Davids Coronation, and of the solemnity of it, and of the ta∣king Jerusalem, he sends betimes to him to enter amity with him, and presents him with Cedar and workmen to build him an house: Davids Marriages and Children reckoned up, which though born in several years, yet all mentioned here together, when the Text is relating Davids settlement and prosperity.
In this space between the peoples departing from Davids Coronation, and their meeting again to fetch up the Ark, David being now left of those multi∣tudes, and Jerusalem not yet fully fortified, the Philistims come once and again to the valley of Rephaim, which lieth under Jerusalem, to catch David, but he beats them sore both times.
