1 Then came all the tribes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to David [beloved] unto Hevron [Seat of Association], and spoke, saying, Behold, we [are] youi bone and youi flesh.
2 Also in time past, when Sha’ul [desired] was king over us, youi were he that led out and brought in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: and the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said to youi, youi shall feed my people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and youi shall be a captain over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
3 So all the elders of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] came to the king to Hevron [Seat of Association]; and king David [beloved] made a league with them in Hevron [Seat of Association] before the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): and they anointed David [beloved] king over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
4 David [beloved] [was] thirty years old when he began to reign, [and] he reigned forty years.
5 In Hevron [Seat of Association] he reigned over Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] seven years and six months: and in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] he reigned thirty and three years over all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] and Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].
6 And the king and his men went to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] unto the Y’vusi [Threshers, Trampled Under Foot], the inhabitants of the land: which spoke unto David [beloved], saying, Except youi take away the blind and the lame, youi shall not come in here: thinking, David [beloved] cannot come in here.
7 Nevertheless David [beloved] took the strong hold of Tziyon [parched place]: the same [is] the city of David [beloved].
9 So David [beloved] dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David [beloved]. And David [beloved] built round about from Millo [fortification (defensive structure) or mound] and inward.
