David Anointed King of Judah
Some time later David inquired of the LORD“Should I go up to one of the towns of Judah?”
“Go up,” the LORD answered.
Then David asked,“Where should I go?”
“To Hebron,” replied [the LORD].
2So David went there with his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel. 3 David also took the men who were with him, each with his household, and they settled in the towns near Hebron.
4Then the men of Judah came [to Hebron], and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David“It was the men of Jabesh-gilead who buried Saul.”
5So David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-gilead to tell them,“The LORD bless you, because you showed this kindness to Saul your lord when you buried him 6 Now may the LORD show you loving devotion[fn] and faithfulness, and I will also show you the same favor because you have done this 7 Now then, be strong and courageous for though Saul your lord is dead, the house of Judah has anointed me as their king
82:6 Forms of the Hebrew chesed are translated here and in most cases throughout the Scriptures as loving devotion; the range of meaning includes love, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, and mercy, as well as loyalty to a covenant.
