4 Then the people of Judah came to Hebron and anointed David to be king over the tribe of Judah. They told David, |The people of Jabesh Gilead were the ones who buried Saul.| 5 So David sent messengers to the people of Jabesh Gilead. He said to them, |May the LORD bless you because you showed kindness to your master Saul by burying him. 6 May the LORD always show you kindness. I, too, will be good to you because you did this. 7 Now, be strong and courageous. Because your master Saul is dead, the tribe of Judah has anointed me to be their king.| 2 Samuel 2:4-7, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
