The Israelites Make David King

5 All the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron. They said to David, “Look, we are one family^[a]! ² Even when Saul was our king, you were the one who led us into battle. And you were the one who brought Israel back home from war. The Lord himself said to you, ‘You will be the shepherd of my people, the Israelites. You will be the ruler over Israel.’”
