TSK · 2 Samuel 2:4

Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies, your father’s sons will bow down before you.

When the residents of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,

David was king in Hebron over the people of Judah for seven and a half years.

In Hebron he reigned over Judah for seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned for thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.

Then King David sent a message to Zadok and Abiathar the priests saying,“Tell the elders of Judah,‘Why should you delay any further in bringing the king back to his palace, when everything Israel is saying has come to the king’s attention.

When David was told what Rizpah daughter of Aiah, Saul’s concubine, had done,

Jehoiada led out the king’s son and placed on him the crown and the royal insignia. They proclaimed him king and poured olive oil on his head. They clapped their hands and cried out,“Long live the king!”

When all the leaders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD. They anointed David king over Israel, in keeping with the LORD’s message that came through Samuel.
