2 Samuel 5:2

David Anointed As King Over All Of Israel

¹ Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh. ² In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led Israel out [to war] and brought Israel in [from battle]. And the Lord told you, ‘You shall shepherd My people Israel and be ruler over them.’” ³ So all the elders (tribal leaders) of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord; and they anointed him king over Israel.
