2 Samuel 2:1-7
1And it came to pass after this, that DavidH1732 inquired of Jehovah, sayingH559, Shall I goH5927 up into any of the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063? And Jehovah saidH559 unto him, GoH5927 up. And DavidH1732 saidH559, Whither shall I goH5927 up? And he saidH559, Unto HebronH2275. 2So DavidH1732 wentH5927 up thither, and his twoH8147 wivesH802 alsoH1571, AhinoamH293 the Jezreelitess, and AbigailH26 the wifeH802 of NabalH5037 the CarmeliteH3761. 3And his menH376 that were with him did DavidH1732 bringH5927 up, every manH376 with his householdH1004: and they dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 of HebronH2275. 4And the menH376 of JudahH3063 cameH935, and there they anointedH4886 DavidH1732 kingH4428 over the houseH1004 of JudahH3063.
And they toldH5046 DavidH1732, sayingH559, The menH376 of Jabesh-gilead were they that buriedH6912 SaulH7586. 5And DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto the menH376 of Jabesh-gilead, and saidH559 unto them, BlessedH1288 be ye of Jehovah, that ye have showed this kindness unto your lord, even unto SaulH7586, and have buriedH6912 him. 6And nowH6258 Jehovah show lovingkindness and truthH571 unto you: and I alsoH1571 will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thingH1697. 7NowH6258 thereforeH6258 let your handsH3027 beH1961 strongH2388, and beH1961 ye valiant; for SaulH7586 your lordH113 is deadH4191, and alsoH1571 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 have anointedH4886 me kingH4428 over them.
