And the time H4557 H3117 that David H1732 was king H4428 in Hebron H2275 over H5921 the house H1004 of Judah H3063 was seven H7651 years H8141 and six H8337 months. H2320

And king H4428 David H1732 sent H7971 to Zadok H6659 and to Abiathar H54 the priests, H3548 saying, H559 Speak H1696 to the elders H2205 of Judah, H3063 saying, H559 Why H4100 are you the last H314 to bring H7725 the king H4428 back H7725 to his house? H1004 seeing the speech H1697 of all H3605 Israel H3478 is come H935 to the king, H4428 even to his house. H1004

And all H3605 the men H376 of Judah H3063 answered H6030 the men H376 of Israel, H3478 Because H3588 the king H4428 is near H7138 of kin to us: why H4100 then be you angry H2734 for this H2088 matter? H1697 have we eaten H398 at all of the king's H4428 cost? or has he given H5375 us any gift? H5379

Judah, H3063 you are he whom your brothers H251 shall praise: H3034 your hand H3027 shall be in the neck H6203 of your enemies; H341 your father's H1 children H1121 shall bow H7812 down H7812 before you.

The scepter H7626 shall not depart H5493 from Judah, H3063 nor a lawgiver H2710 from between H996 his feet, H7272 until H5704 H3588 Shiloh H7886 come; H935 and to him shall the gathering H3349 of the people H5971 be.

Therefore now H6258 let your hands H3027 be strengthened, H2388 and be you valiant: H1121 H2428 for your master H113 Saul H7586 is dead, H4191 and also H1571 the house H1004 of Judah H3063 have anointed H4886 me king H4428 over H5921 them.

So all H3605 the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 came H935 to the king H4428 to Hebron; H2275 and king H4428 David H1732 made H3772 a league H1285 with them in Hebron H2275 before H6440 the LORD: H3068 and they anointed H4886 David H1732 king H4428 over H5921 Israel. H3478

In Hebron H2275 he reigned H4427 over H5921 Judah H3063 seven H7651 years H8141 and six H8337 months: H2320 and in Jerusalem H3389 he reigned H4427 thirty H7970 and three H7969 years H8141 over H5921 all H3605 Israel H3478 and Judah. H3063

But when the Philistines H6430 heard H8085 that they had anointed H4886 David H1732 king H4428 over H5921 Israel, H3478 all H3605 the Philistines H6430 came H5927 up to seek H1245 David; H1732 and David H1732 heard H8085 of it, and went H3381 down H3381 to the hold. H4686

Then Samuel H8050 took H3947 the horn H7161 of oil, H8081 and anointed H4886 him in the middle H7130 of his brothers: H251 and the Spirit H7307 of the LORD H3068 came H6743 on David H1732 from that day H3117 forward. H4605 So Samuel H8050 rose H6965 up, and went H3212 to Ramah. H7414

Therefore came H935 all H3605 the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 to the king H4428 to Hebron; H2275 and David H1732 made H3772 a covenant H1285 with them in Hebron H2275 before H6440 the LORD; H3068 and they anointed H4886 David H1732 king H4428 over H5921 Israel, H3478 according to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 by Samuel. H8050

And when the inhabitants H3427 of Jabeshgilead H3003 H1568 heard H8085 of that which the Philistines H6430 had done H6213 to Saul; H7586

And they took H3947 their bones, H6106 and buried H6912 them under H8478 a tree H815 at Jabesh, H3003 and fasted H6684 seven H7651 days. H3117
