2 Samuel 2:5-7 ▼

5 And David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-gilead and said to them, “You⁺ are blessed of YHWH, for you⁺ have shown this kindness to your⁺ lord, to Saul, and have buried him.

6 And may YHWH show to you⁺ loving devotion and truth, and also I will repay you⁺ this kindness, because you⁺ have done this thing.

7 And now let your⁺ hands be strengthened and become sons of valor, for your⁺ master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah has anointed me king over them.”
