2Samuel:2:1-7
Seeker Overlay ON
*
It happened after this that David inquired of the LORD ,
saying , "
Shall I go up to any of the cities of Judah ?"
And the LORD said to him , "
Go up ."
David said , "
Where shall I go up ?"
And He said , "
To Hebron ."
*
So David went up there ,
and his two wives also ,
Ahinoam the Jezreelitess ,
and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite .
*
And David brought up the men who were with him ,
every man with his household .
So they dwelt in the cities of Hebron .
*
Then the men of Judah came ,
and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah .
And they told David ,
saying , "
The men of Jabesh Gilead were the ones who buried Saul ."
*
So David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead ,
and said to them , "
You are blessed of the LORD ,
for you have shown this kindness to your lord ,
to Saul ,
and have buried him .
*
And now may the LORD show kindness and truth to you .
I also will repay you this kindness ,
because you have done this thing .
*
Now therefore ,
let your hands be strengthened ,
and be valiant ;
for your master Saul is dead ,
and also the house of Judah has anointed me king over them ."
