Hebron

Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood.

So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where David made a covenant with them before the LORD. And they anointed him king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD through Samuel.

Now these are the numbers of men armed for battle who came to David at Hebron to turn Saul’s kingdom over to him, in accordance with the word of the LORD:

All these men of war, arrayed for battle, came to Hebron fully determined to make David king over all Israel. And all the rest of the Israelites were of one mind to make David king.

The length of David’s reign over Israel was forty years—seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
