Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
"Then all Israel gathered themselves together unto David at Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and flesh.  In times past, even when Saul was king, it was thou that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and Jehovah thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt be shepherd of my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over my people Israel.  So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah; and they anointed David king over Israel."
