EasyEnglish Bible

David becomes king over all Israel

5 All Israel's tribes came to David at Hebron. They said, ‘We all belong to the same family as you do. ² In the past, when Saul ruled over us as king, you were the leader of Israel's army in the wars. The Lord said to you, “You will take care of my people as a shepherd takes care of his sheep. You will rule over Israel.” ’
