The period between Saul's death and David's coronation over all Israel lasts seven and a half years. David is king over Judah at Hebron; Ish-bosheth, Saul's surviving son, is made king over the rest of Israel by Abner. The conflict is not resolved by David's initiative but by the collapse of Saul's house from within: Ish-bosheth is assassinated, Abner is killed by Joab. And then all the tribes of Israel come to Hebron.
Their argument is threefold: we are your bone and your flesh, kinship. Even when Saul was king you led Israel out and brought them in, demonstrated competence. And the LORD said to you: you shall shepherd my people Israel and be their nagid, divine appointment.
David makes a covenant with the elders before the LORD and they anoint him king over all Israel. He is thirty years old. He reigns forty years. He captures Jerusalem from the Jebusites, the city no tribe had managed to take since the conquest, and makes it his capital. Jerusalem becomes the city of David. Hiram of Tyre sends cedar and craftsmen. And David perceives that the LORD has established him as king over Israel and has exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.
Thread 3 is the third anointing: the royal trajectory that the Davidic covenant will lock in place is now visibly, publicly, nationally established. Thread 2 is the covenant made with the elders before the LORD: the corporate covenant people formally entering the Davidic arrangement. Thread 5 is the dispensational marker: the judge period is fully over; the monarchy is fully established; the covenant of 2 Samuel 7 is about to be given.
All the tribes of Israel come to Hebron, the third anointing; David has been anointed privately by Samuel, then as king of Judah at Hebron, and now as king over all Israel; the three anointings echo the threefold ad-olam of the covenant about to be given.

The period between Saul's death and David's coronation over all Israel lasts seven and a half years. David is king over Judah at Hebron; Ish-bosheth, Saul's surviving son, is made king over the rest of Israel by Abner. The conflict is not resolved by David's initiative but by the collapse of Saul's house from within: Ish-bosheth is assassinated, Abner is killed by Joab. And then all the tribes of Israel come to Hebron.
Their argument is threefold: we are your bone and your flesh, kinship. Even when Saul was king you led Israel out and brought them in, demonstrated competence. And the LORD said to you: you shall shepherd my people Israel and be their nagid, divine appointment.
David makes a covenant with the elders before the LORD and they anoint him king over all Israel. He is thirty years old. He reigns forty years. He captures Jerusalem from the Jebusites, the city no tribe had managed to take since the conquest, and makes it his capital. Jerusalem becomes the city of David. Hiram of Tyre sends cedar and craftsmen. And David perceives that the LORD has established him as king over Israel and has exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.
