² Previously, when Saul was king over us, ^(A)you were the one who led Israel ^[a]out and in. And the Lord said to you, ‘^(B)You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ^(C)a leader over Israel.’” ³ So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David ^(D)made a covenant with them before the Lord in Hebron; then ^(E)they anointed David king over Israel. ⁴ David was ^(F)thirty years old when he became king, and ^(G)he reigned for forty years.
