1 Chronicles
The leaders of Israel come to David at Hebron and anoint him king over Israel according to the word of the LORD (1 Chronicles 11:1–3). The passage emphasizes national unity in this transfer of rule (1 Chronicles 11:1–3).
1Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
2In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel: and Yahweh your God said to you, You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.
3So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of Yahweh by Samuel.
