2 Samuel 5:1-5

2 Samuel 5:1-5 MEV

All of the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Behold, we are your bone and flesh. Previously, when Saul was king over us, you were the one leading Israel out and in. Also, the LORD said to you: You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over Israel.” So all of the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them before the LORD at Hebron. They anointed David king over Israel. David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. He reigned over Judah from Hebron for seven years and six months, and he reigned over all of Israel and Judah from Jerusalem for thirty-three years.
