'Elders of Israel' in the Bible

Now Abner had communicated with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David aforetime to be king over you;

And all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah; and they anointed David king over Israel.

And the saying was right in the eyes of Absalom, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.

And Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
