1 Toutes les tribus d’Israël vinrent auprès de David, à Hébron, et dirent: Voici, nous sommes tes os et ta chair.

2 Autrefois déjà, lorsque Saül était notre roi, c’était toi qui conduisais et qui ramenais Israël. L’Éternel t’a dit: Tu paîtras mon peuple d’Israël, et tu seras le chef d’Israël.

3 Ainsi tous les anciens d’Israël vinrent auprès du roi à Hébron, et le roi David fit alliance avec eux à Hébron, devant l’Éternel. Ils oignirent David pour roi sur Israël.
