2 Samuel 2:2 In-Context

1 And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the LORD, saying , Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up . And David said , Whither shall I go up ? And he said , Unto Hebron.

2 So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite.

3 And his men that were with him did David bring up , every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.

4 And the men of Judah came , and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying , That the men of Jabeshgilead were they that buried Saul.

5 And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabeshgilead , and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the LORD, that ye have shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
