2 Samuel 2:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ So David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead. They told David’s message to the men in Jabesh: “The Lord bless you. You have shown kindness to your master Saul by burying him. ⁶ May the Lord now be kind and true to you. I will also be kind to you because you have done this. ⁷ Now be strong and brave. Saul your master is dead. The people of Judah have appointed me their king.”
