2 Samuel 2:4-7 - David Anointed King Over Judah At Hebron
4 Then the men of Judah came to Hebron. They anointed David as king of Judah. David heard that the people of Jabesh-gilead (Jabesh in Gilead) buried Saul.
5 He sent some men there with the message: Jehovah blesses you for showing your loyalty to your king by burying him. 6 May Jehovah always show you kindness. I also will be good to you because you did this. 7 Be strong and courageous. Your master Saul is dead. Therefore the tribe of Judah has anointed me to be their king.
