1 Chronicles 11:1 - 11:3

David Anointed King over All Israel

Then all Israel gathered to David at Hebron and said, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
2 Previously, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led out and brought in Israel; and Yahweh your God said to you, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be a ruler over My people Israel.’” 3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David cut a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh; then they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of Yahweh through Samuel.
