David Is Anointed King Over Judah In Hebron

Following the death of Saul, David has inquired of the Lord and moved to Hebron. There, the men of Judah have anointed him king over their house. While the northern tribes still cling to the house of Saul, the long-promised rise of the son of Jesse has officially begun in the south.

"Then the men of Judah came and there anointed David king over the house of Judah."
— 2 Samuel 2:4
Timeline Box: David reigned in Hebron for seven years before becoming king over all Israel.
