1599 Geneva Bible
11 3 After the death of Saul, David is anointed in Hebron. 5 The Jebusites rebel against David, from whom he taketh the tower of Zion. 6 Joab is made captain. 10 His valiant men.
1 Then (A)all Israel [a]gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bones and thy flesh.
2 And in time past, even when Saul was king, thou leddest Israel out and in: and the Lord thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be captain over my people Israel.
3 So came all the Elders of Israel to the King to Hebron, and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the Lord. And they anointed David king over Israel, (B)according to the word of the Lord, by the hand of Samuel.
