May the Lord be good and true to you: and I myself will see that your kind act is rewarded, because you have done this thing. Then let your hands be strong, and have no fear: though Saul your lord is dead, the people of Judah have made me their king. Now Abner, the son of Ner, captain of Saul's army, had taken Saul's son Ish-bosheth over to Mahanaim, And made him king over Gilead and the Asherites and over Jezreel and Ephraim and Benjamin, that is, over all Israel.

And the time when David was king in Hebron over the people of Judah was seven years and six months.
