2 Samuel 5:1-5

Thomson(i) 1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David to Chebron and said to him, Behold we are thy bone and thy flesh. 2 Heretofore, while Saul was king over us, It was thou who didst lead out and bring in Israel; and the Lord said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel. 3 And when all the elders of Israel came to David to Chebron, king David made a covenant with them at Chebron, before the Lord, and they anointed David to be king over all Israel. 4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. 5 Seven years and six months he reigned at Chebron over Juda, and he reigned thirty three years, over all Israel and Juda, at Jerusalem.
