3 David fit aussi monter les gens qui étaient auprès de lui, chacun avec sa maison; et ils habitèrent dans les villes d’Hébron.
4 Les hommes de Juda vinrent, et là ils oignirent David pour roi sur la maison de Juda. On informa David que c’étaient les gens de Jabès en Galaad qui avaient enterré Saül.
5 David envoya des messagers aux gens de Jabès en Galaad, pour leur dire: Soyez bénis de l’Éternel, puisque vous avez ainsi montré de la bienveillance envers Saül, votre maître, et que vous l’avez enterré.
6 Et maintenant, que l’Éternel use envers vous de bonté et de fidélité. Moi aussi je vous ferai du bien, parce que vous avez agi de la sorte.
7 Que vos mains se fortifient, et soyez de vaillants hommes; car votre maître Saül est mort, et c’est moi que la maison de Juda a oint pour roi sur elle.
