1 Chronicles 11:1-9 - The Anointing Of David As King

1 And all Israel will gather together to David to Hebron, saying, Behold, we thy bone and thy flesh. 2 Also yesterday also the third day, also in Saul being king thou wert bringing forth and bringing in Israel: and Jehovah thy God will say to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be leader over my people Israel

3 And all the old men of Israel will come to the king to Hebron; and David will cut out to them a covenant in Hebron before Jehovah; and they will anoint David for king over Israel according to the word of Jehovah by the hand of Samuel.

4 And David will go, and all Israel to Jerusalem; this is Jebus; and there the Jebusites dwelling in the land. 5 And they dwelling in Jebus will say to David, Thou shalt not come in hither. And David will take the castle of Zion, this the city of David.

6 And David will say, Every one striking the Jebusites the first shall be for head and for chief. And Joab son of Zeruiah, will go up at first, and he will be for head.

7 And David dwelt in the castle; for this they called to it the city of David. 8 And he will build the city from round about from Millo, and even round about: and Joab will revive the remainder of the city. 9 And David will go, going and growing great: and Jehovah of armies with him.
