David Anointed King in Hebron

2 Samuel 2:1-7

And it cometh to pass afterwards, that David asketh at Jehovah, saying, `Do I go up into one of the cities of Judah?' and Jehovah saith unto him, `Go up.' And David saith, `Whither do I go up?' and He saith, `To Hebron.'

And David goeth up thither, and also his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite;

and his men who are with him hath David brought up--a man and his household--and they dwell in the cities of Hebron.

And the men of Judah come, and anoint there David for king over the house of Judah; and they declare to David, saying, `The men of Jabesh-Gilead are they who buried Saul.'

And David sendeth messengers unto the men of Jabesh-Gilead, and saith unto them, `Blessed are ye of Jehovah, in that ye have done this kindness with your lord, with Saul, that ye bury him.

`And, now, Jehovah doth with you kindness and truth, and also, I do with you this good because ye have done this thing;

and now, are your hands strong, and be ye for sons of valour, for your lord Saul. is dead, and also--me have the house of Judah anointed for king over them.'
