1 Chronicles 11:1-3

21st Century King James Version

11 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David at Hebron, saying, “Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

² And moreover in times past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel; and the Lord thy God said unto thee, ‘Thou shalt feed My people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over My people Israel.’”

³ Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the Lord. And they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Samuel.
