*
After this David inquired of the LORD , "
Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah ?"
And the LORD said to him , "
Go up ."
David said , "
To which shall I go up ?"
And he said , "
To Hebron ."
*
So David went up there ,
and his two wives also ,
Ahin '
o-am of Jezreel ,
and Ab '
igail the widow of Nabal of Carmel .
*
And David brought up his men who were with him ,
every one with his household ;
and they dwelt in the towns of Hebron .
*
And the men of Judah came ,
and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah .
When they told David , "
It was the men of Ja '
besh-gil '
ead who buried Saul ,"
*
David sent messengers to the men of Ja '
besh-gil '
ead ,
and said to them , "
May you be blessed by the LORD ,
because you showed this loyalty to Saul your lord ,
and buried him !
*
Now may the LORD show steadfast love and faithfulness to you !
And I will do good to you because you have done this thing .
*
Now therefore let your hands be strong ,
and be valiant ;
for Saul your lord is dead ,
and the house of Judah has anointed me king over them ."
