And David saith, `Whither do I go up?' and He saith, `To Hebron.' 2 And David goeth up thither, and also his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite; 3 and his men who [are] with him hath David brought up -- a man and his household -- and they dwell in the cities of Hebron. 4 And the men of Judah come, and anoint there David for king over the house of Judah; and they declare to David, saying, `The men of Jabesh-Gilead [are] they who buried Saul.' 5 And David sendeth messengers unto the men of Jabesh-Gilead, and saith unto them, `Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, in that ye have done this kindness with your lord, with Saul, that ye bury him. 6 `And, now, Jehovah doth with you kindness and truth, and also, I do with you this good because ye have done this thing; 7 and now, are your hands strong, and be ye for sons of valour, for your lord Saul. [is] dead, and also -- me have the house of Judah anointed for king over them.'
