Then came all the tribes of Israel to ^aDavid unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

 2 Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the Lord said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel.

 3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they ^aanointed ^bDavid ^cking over Israel.

 4 David was thirty years old when he began to ^areign, and he ^breigned forty years.

 5 In Hebron he reigned over ^aJudah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he ^breigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.
