2 Samuel 2:4-6

Darby Translation

⁴ And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, It is the men of Jabesh-Gilead that have buried Saul.

⁵ And David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-Gilead, and said to them, Blessed be ye of Jehovah, that ye have shewn this kindness to your lord, to Saul, and have buried him!

⁶ And now Jehovah shew kindness and faithfulness to you; and I also will requite you this good, because ye have done this thing.
