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.
