2 Samuel 2
And
it
came
to
pass
after
this,
that
David
inquired
of
the
Lord,
saying,
Shall
I
go
up
into
any
of
the
cities
of
Judah?
And
the
Lord
said
unto
him,
Go
up.
And
David
said,
Whither
shall
I
go
up?
And
he
said,
Unto
Hebron.
2 So
David
went
up
thither,
and
his
two
a
wives
also,
Ahinoam
the
Jezreelitess,
and
Abigail
Nabal's
wife
the
Carmelite.
3 And
his
a
men
that
were
with
him
did
David
bring
up,
every
man
with
his
household:
and
they
dwelt
in
the
cities
of
Hebron.
4 And
the
men
of
Judah
came,
and
there
they
anointed
a
David
king
over
the
house
of
b
Judah.
And
they
told
David,
saying,
That
the
men
of
c
Jabesh-gilead
were
they
that
buried
Saul.
5 And
David
sent
messengers
unto
the
men
of
Jabesh-gilead,
and
said
unto
them,
Blessed
be
ye
of
the
Lord,
that
ye
have
shewed
this
kindness
unto
your
lord,
even
unto
Saul,
and
have
buried
him.
6 And
now
the
Lord
shew
kindness
and
truth
unto
you:
and
I
also
will
a
requite
you
this
kindness,
because
ye
have
done
this
thing.
7 Therefore
now
let
your
hands
be
strengthened,
and
be
ye
a
valiant:
for
your
master
Saul
is
dead,
and
also
the
house
of
Judah
have
anointed
me
king
over
them.
8 But
a
Abner
the
son
of
Ner,
captain
of
Saul's
host,
took
Ish-bosheth
the
son
of
Saul,
and
brought
him
over
to
Mahanaim;
9 And
made
him
king
over
Gilead,
and
over
the
Ashurites,
and
over
Jezreel,
and
over
Ephraim,
and
over
Benjamin,
and
over
all
Israel.
10 Ish-bosheth
Saul's
son
was
forty
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign
over
Israel,
and
reigned
two
years.
But
the
house
of
Judah
followed
David.
11 And
the
time
that
David
was
a
king
in
Hebron
over
the
house
of
b
Judah
was
seven
years
and
six
months.
12 And
Abner
the
son
of
Ner,
and
the
servants
of
Ish-bosheth
the
son
of
Saul,
went
out
from
Mahanaim
to
Gibeon.
13 And
Joab
the
son
of
Zeruiah,
and
the
servants
of
David,
went
out,
and
met
together
by
the
pool
of
Gibeon:
and
they
sat
down,
the
one
on
the
one
side
of
the
pool,
and
the
other
on
the
other
side
of
the
pool.
14 And
Abner
said
to
Joab,
Let
the
young
men
now
arise,
and
play
before
us.
And
Joab
said,
Let
them
arise.
15 Then
there
arose
and
went
over
by
number
twelve
of
Benjamin,
which
pertained
to
Ish-bosheth
the
son
of
Saul,
and
twelve
of
the
servants
of
David.
16 And
they
caught
every
one
his
fellow
by
the
head,
and
thrust
his
sword
in
his
fellow's
side;
so
they
fell
down
together:
wherefore
that
place
was
called
a
Helkath-hazzurim,
which
is
in
Gibeon.
