New American Standard Bible (NASB)
1 Chronicles 10
14 and did not inquire of the Lord. Therefore He killed him and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
1 Chronicles 11
1 Then all Israel gathered to David at Hebron and said, "Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
2 In times past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led out and brought in Israel; and the Lord your God said to you, ’You shall shepherd My people Israel, and you shall be prince over My people Israel.’"
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the Lord; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord through Samuel.
4 Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
5 The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You shall not enter here." Nevertheless David captured the stronghold of Zion (that is, the city of David).
6 Now David had said, "Whoever strikes down a Jebusite first shall be chief and commander." Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief.
7 Then David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David.
8 He built the city all around, from the Millo even to the surrounding area; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
9 David became greater and greater, for the Lord of hosts was with him.
10 Now these are the heads of the mighty men whom David had, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord concerning Israel.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
