2 Samuel 5:1-4
1All the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron saying, “Look, we are your very flesh and blood!
2In the past, when Saul was our king, you were the real leader in Israel. The Lord said to you, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel; you will rule over Israel.’”
3When all the leaders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, King David made an agreement with them in Hebron before the Lord. They designated David as king over Israel.
4David was thirty years old when he began to reign and he reigned for forty years.
