The Voice
4 Then the people of Judah came and anointed David king over them. They told David how the people of Jabesh-gilead had buried Saul with dignity, 5 so David sent messengers to them.
David’s Message: May you be blessed by the Eternal One for your loyalty to your king Saul by burying him. 6 May the Eternal always love and be faithful to you! I will also reward you for this noble act.
