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.*+
8 And the Phi·lisʹtines got to hear that David had been anointed as king over all Israel.+ At that all the Phi·lisʹtines came up to look for David.+ When David heard of it, then he went out against them.*
