All the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “We are your own flesh and blood. In the past, while Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns. And the LORD said to you, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become their ruler.’ ” When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, the king made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD, and they anointed David king over Israel.

Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Behold, we are your bone and flesh. In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led out and brought in Israel.

And they anointed him king of Israel.

All the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron  and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood.  , Even while Saul was king over us, you were the one who led us out to battle and brought us back.  The LORD also said to you, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will be ruler over Israel.’ ” So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron. King David made a covenant with them  at Hebron in the LORD’s presence, and they anointed David king over Israel.

Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel.

And they anointed David king over Israel.

Before long all the tribes of Israel approached David in Hebron and said, “Look at us—your own flesh and blood! In time past when Saul was our king, you were the one who really ran the country.
