David Anointed King Over All Israel

2 Samuel 5:1-5

Then all the tribes of Isra'el came to David in Hevron and said, "Here, we are your own flesh and bone.

In the past, when Sha'ul was king over us, it was you who led Isra'el's military campaigns; and ADONAI said to you, 'You will shepherd my people Isra'el, and you will be chief over Isra'el.'"

So all the leaders of Isra'el came to the king in Hevron, and King David made a covenant with them in Hevron in the presence of ADONAI. Then they anointed David king over Isra'el.

David was thirty years old when he began his rule, and he ruled forty years.

In Hevron he ruled over Y'hudah seven years and six months; then in Yerushalayim he ruled thirty-three years over all Isra'el and Y'hudah.
