1 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
2 And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, you were he that led out and brought in Israel: and the LORD your God said unto you,
3 Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.
4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.
5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, You shall not come here. Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David.
