2 Samuel 5:1-3 ▼

1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

2 Previously, when Saul was king over us, you were the one who led out and brought in Israel; and Yahweh said to you, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be a ruler over Israel.’”

3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David cut a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh; then they anointed David king over Israel.
