2 Samuel 2:4-7
Christian Standard Bible
4 Then the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah.(A) They told David, “It was the men of Jabesh-gilead who buried Saul.”(B)
5 David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-gilead and said to them, “The Lord bless you because you have shown this kindness to Saul your lord when you buried him. 6 Now, may the Lord show kindness and faithfulness to you, and I will also show the same goodness to you because you have done this deed. 7 Therefore, be strong[a] and valiant, for though Saul your lord is dead, the house of Judah has anointed me king over them.”
