*
And all the tribes of Israel came to David ,
to Hebron ,
and spoke ,
saying ,
Behold ,
we are your bone and we are your flesh .
*
Both yesterday and the day before ,
when Saul was king over us ,
you were he who led out and brought in Israel .
And Jehovah said to you ,
You shall shepherd My people Israel ,
and you shall be for a leader over Israel .
*
And all the elders of Israel came to the king ,
to Hebron .
And king David cut a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah .
And they anointed David as king over Israel .
*
And David was a son of thirty years when he became king ;
he reigned forty years .
*
In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months ;
and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty three years over all Israel and Judah .
