David went to Jerusalem. He took the strong city of Zion. He called it David's city. David grew greater and greater. God was with him.

The Philistines came to fight. David asked God what to do. God said, Go up. God helped David win. They came back again. David asked God again. God told him to wait by the trees. God went first, and David won.
