David Anointed King of All Israel

5 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and said, ‘Look, we are your bone and flesh. ² For some time, while Saul was king over us, it was you who led out Israel and brought it in. The Lord said to you: It is you who shall be shepherd of my people Israel, you who shall be ruler over Israel.’
