Davi é aclamado rei de Judá

II Samuel 2:1-11

¹ Now after this, David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go up into any of the towns of Judah? And the Lord said to him, Go up. And David said, Where am I to go? And he said, To Hebron.

² So David went there, taking with him his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.

³ And David took all his men with him, every man with his family: and they were living in the towns round Hebron.

⁴ And the men of Judah came there, and with the holy oil made David king over the people of Judah. And word came to David that it was the men of Jabesh-gilead who put Saul's body in its last resting-place.

⁵ And David sent to the men of Jabesh-gilead and said to them, May the Lord give you his blessing, because you have done this kind act to Saul your lord, and have put his body to rest!

⁶ May the Lord be good and true to you: and I myself will see that your kind act is rewarded, because you have done this thing.

⁷ Then let your hands be strong, and have no fear: though Saul your lord is dead, the people of Judah have made me their king.

⁸ Now Abner, the son of Ner, captain of Saul's army, had taken Saul's son Ish-bosheth over to Mahanaim,

⁹ And made him king over Gilead and the Asherites and over Jezreel and Ephraim and Benjamin, that is, over all Israel.

¹⁰ (Saul's son Ish-bosheth was forty years old when he became king over Israel, and he was ruler for two years.) But Judah was on the side of David.

¹¹ And the time when David was king in Hebron over the people of Judah was seven years and six months.
