David Becomes King of All Israel

5 All the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron. They said, “Look, we are your flesh and blood.^{[a] 2} Day after day, even when Saul was king, you were the one leading Israel out to battle and back again. And you are the one to whom the Lord said, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel. You will become leader over Israel.’”
