2 Samuel 2:1-3

Easy-to-Read Version

David Is Anointed King of Judah

2 Later David asked the Lord for advice. David said, “Should I take control^[a] of any of the cities of Judah?”

The Lord said to David, “Yes.”

David asked, “Where should I go?”

The Lord answered, “To Hebron.”

² So David and his two wives moved to Hebron. (His wives were Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail, who had been the wife of Nabal from Carmel.) ³ David also brought his men and their families. All of them made their homes in Hebron and the towns nearby.
