2 Samuel 2:5 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 2:5

3 And David brought up ^athe men who were with him, every man with his household. So they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.

4 ^aThen the men of Judah came, and there they ^banointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, ^c“The men of Jabesh Gilead were the ones who buried Saul.”

5 So David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, ^a“You are blessed of the Lord, for you have shown this kindness to your lord, to Saul, and have buried him.

6 And now may ^athe Lord show kindness and truth to you. I also will repay you this kindness, because you have done this thing.

7 Now therefore, let your hands be strengthened, and be valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah has anointed me king over them.”
