2 Samuel 2:4-7
4 Then the men of Judah came and there (A)anointed David king over the house of Judah.And they told David, saying, “It was (B)the men of Jabesh-gilead who buried Saul.”
5 David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said to them, “(C)May you be blessed of the Lord because you have (a)shown this kindness to Saul your lord, and have buried him.
6 Now (D)may the Lord (b)show lovingkindness and truth to you; and I also will (c)show this goodness to you, because you have done this thing.
7 Now therefore, let your hands be strong and be (d)valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah has anointed me king over them.”
