1 Chronicles 11:1-9 - The Anointing Of David As King
1 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are your bone and your flesh. 2 And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, you were he that led out and brought in Israel: and the LORD your God said unto you, You shall feed my people Israel, and you shall be ruler over my people Israel.
3 Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.
4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land. 5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, You shall not come here. Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David.
6 And David said, Whosoever smites the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.
7 And David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it the city of David. 8 And he built the city around it, even from Millo and around: and Joab repaired the rest of the city. 9 So David grew greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him.
