The kingdom of David

2Sa 2:1–7

2:1 The kingdom of David

2After that was over, David inquired from Yahweh, “Should I go into one of Yehudah’s cities?”

Yes,, go,” Yahweh answered.

“Where should I go?” David asked again.

“To Hebron,” he said.

2So David took his two wives (Ahinoam the Yezreelite and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite) and went there.[ref] 3He took his men who were with him, along with their families, and went to live in Hebron and the surrounding towns. 4Then the Yehudah leaders came and anointed David as king over Yehudah.

They told him, “It was the men of Yabesh-Gilead who buried Sha’ul.”[ref] 5So David sent messengers to Yabesh-Gilead to tell them, “May Yahweh bless you all because you showed that kindness to your master Sha’ul to bury him respectfully. 6Now may Yahweh treat you all with kindness and faithfulness, and I myself will also be good to you because you did that. 7Meanwhile now that Sha’ul your master is dead, continue to be courageous and become brave warriors as Yehudah has anointed me as king over their tribe.
