'Elders of Israel' in the Bible

Then had Abner, speech, with the elders of Israel, saying, - In times past, ye were seeking David, to be king over you.

So all the elders of Israel came unto the king, in Hebron, and King David solemnised to them a covenant in Hebron, before Yahweh, - and they anointed David to be king over Israel.

And the saying was right in the eyes of Absolom, - and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.

So Hushai said unto Zadok and unto Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus, did Ahithophel counsel Absolom and the elders of Israel, - and, thus and thus, have, I, counselled.
