2 Samuel 2:8

⁶And now may the Lord deal in mercy and truth toward you: and I also will requite toward you this good deed, because ye have done this.

⁷And now let your hands be made strong, and be valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and moreover the house of Judah have anointed me to be king over them.

— 2 Samuel 2:8 —

⁹and made him king over the land of Gilead, and over Thasiri, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.

¹⁰Ish-bosheth, Saul’s son was forty years old, when he reigned over Israel; and he reigned two years, but not over the house of Judah, who followed David.
