38 All these men were warriors who were ready to march.[a] They came to Hebron to make David king over all Israel by acclamation;[b] all the rest of the Israelites also were in agreement that David should become king.[c] 39 They spent three days feasting[d] there with David, for their relatives had given them provisions.
