1 Chronicles 11:1-3
International Standard Version
David is Anointed King(A)
11 Later on, all of Israel gathered together at Hebron in order to tell David, “Look, we’re your own flesh and blood![a] 2 Even back when Saul was ruling as king, you kept on leading the army of Israel out to battle[b] and bringing them in again.[c] The Lord your God told you, ‘You yourself will shepherd my people Israel and will be Commander-in-Chief[d] over my people Israel.’” 3 So all the elders of Israel approached the king at Hebron, where David entered into a covenant in[e] the presence of the Lord. Then they anointed David to be king over Israel, just as the Lord had sent word through[f] Samuel.

David Becomes King Over Israel(A)
11 All Israel(B) came together to David at Hebron(C) and said, “We are your own flesh and blood. 2 In the past, even while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns.(D) And the Lord your God said to you, ‘You will shepherd(E) my people Israel, and you will become their ruler.(F)’”
3 When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, he made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed(G) David king over Israel, as the Lord had promised through Samuel.
