2 Samuel 2:1-3

New International Reader's Version

David Is Anointed to Be King Over Judah

2 After Saul and Jonathan died, David asked the Lord for advice. “Should I go up to one of the towns of Judah?” he asked.

The Lord said, “Go up.”

David asked, “Where should I go?”

“To Hebron,” the Lord answered.

² So David went up there with his two wives. Their names were Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail from Carmel. Abigail was Nabal’s widow. ³ David also took his men and their families with him. They made their homes in Hebron and its towns.
