5 All the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “We are your own flesh and blood. 2 In the past, while Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns. And the Lord said to you, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become their ruler.’”
3 When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, the king made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed David king over Israel.4 David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years. 5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned over all Israel and Judah thirty-three years.
David was the guy whom God has chosen. He was chosen by God to rule Israel. So he did. Our God is a God who keeps promises, whether it is personal promises to you or general promises stated in the bible. And when God chose and gave you a promise, Would He not fulfil it? Just look at David. Anyone in David's position would not have thought that. He was being chased by people, being hunted by the king and condemned and exiled to enemy lands. But he kept 1 promise in his heart. That promise is what God gave him, the promise that he would be king and today is the day that it was fulfilled. Was it by his own strength? No, it was only by God's strength. How glorious is our God? :)
