2 Samuel 5

1 Then all the tribes of Israel came unto David in Hebron and spoke, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

2 And even yesterday and the day before yesterday, when Saul was king over us, it was thou that didst lead out and bring in Israel; and the Lord said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel.

3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king in Hebron; and King David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the Lord; and they anointed David king over Israel.
