2 Samuel 2:4-6

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴ And the men of Judah came and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. They told David, The men of Jabesh-gilead buried Saul.^(A)

⁵ And David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-gilead, saying, May the Lord bless you because you showed kindness and loyalty to Saul your king and buried him.

⁶ And now may the Lord show loving-kindness and faithfulness to you. I also will do well by you because you have done this.
