2 Samuel 2:5-7

Darby Translation

⁵ And David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-Gilead, and said to them, Blessed be ye of Jehovah, that ye have shewn this kindness to your lord, to Saul, and have buried him!

⁶ And now Jehovah shew kindness and faithfulness to you; and I also will requite you this good, because ye have done this thing.

⁷ And now let your hands be strong, and be ye valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
