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.

8 Cependant Abner, fils de Ner, chef de l’armée de Saül, prit Isch-Boscheth, fils de Saül, et le fit passer à Mahanaïm.

9 Il l’établit roi sur Galaad, sur les Gueschuriens, sur Jizreel, sur Éphraïm, sur Benjamin, sur tout Israël.
