Verse 12 is found in chapter 5 of 2 Samuel. Hiram king of Tyre sends cedar wood and craftsmen to build David a house, while the narrative mentions the expansion of his family. David’s international recognition contrasts with the earlier period of persecution and marginalization. At the same time, the enumeration of wives and children quietly introduces a dimension that will have later consequences. David’s political greatness begins to grow alongside elements of his domestic life that will eventually contribute to conflicts within his own house.
