2 Samuel 5:1–5, “Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel. So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David king over Israel. David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.”
Finally the circumstances were right and David was crowned king of Israel. He spent many years waiting to be king. Even while Saul was king, David led the armies and was known as the greatest warrior in Israel. David made this major alliance with all the tribes to be their king and unite them into the one nation that God made them to be. The tribes were not really united as one nation ever since the time of Joshua but David was fit to unite them all together in the Name of the Lord.
