2 Samuel 5:1-3

1 David, rey de todo Israel
Luego todas las tribus de Israel fueron a David en Hebrón y le dijeron: «Somos de la misma sangre.

2 En el pasado,
cuando Saúl era nuestro rey, en realidad era usted quien dirigía a las fuerzas de Israel. Y el Señor
le dijo: “Tú serás el pastor de mi pueblo Israel; tú serás el líder de Israel”».

3 De modo que allí en Hebrón el rey David hizo un pacto ante el Señor
con todos los ancianos de Israel, y lo ungieron rey de Israel.
