13 Accordingly Samuel took the horn of oil+ and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the spirit of Jehovah began to be operative upon David from that day forward.+ Later Samuel rose and went his way to Raʹmah.+

4 Then the men of Judah+ came and anointed+ David there as king over the house of Judah.+

And they came telling David, saying: “The men of Jaʹbesh-gilʹe·ad were the ones that buried Saul.”

3 So all the older men*+ of Israel came to the king at Heʹbron, and King David concluded a covenant+ with them in Heʹbron before Jehovah; after which they anointed+ David as king over Israel.*+
