These are the numbers of the men armed for battle who came to David at Hebron to turn Saul’s kingdom over to him, as the Lord had said:from Judah, carrying shield and spear— 6,800 armed for battle;from Simeon, warriors ready for battle— 7,100;from Levi— 4,600,including Jehoiada, leader of the family of Aaron, with 3,700 men,and Zadok, a brave young warrior, with 22 officers from his family;from Benjamin, Saul’s tribe— 3,000, most of whom had remained loyal to Saul’s house until then;from Ephraim, brave warriors, famous in their own clans— 20,800;from half the tribe of Manasseh, designated by name to come and make David king— 18,000;from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do— 200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command;from Zebulun, experienced soldiers prepared for battle with every type of weapon, to help David with undivided loyalty— 50,000;from Naphtali— 1,000 officers, together with 37,000 men carrying shields and spears;from Dan, ready for battle— 28,600;from Asher, experienced soldiers prepared for battle— 40,000;and from east of the Jordan, from Reuben, Gad and the half- tribe of Manasseh, armed with every type of weapon— 120,000.All these were fighting men who volunteered to serve in the ranks. They came to Hebron fully determined to make David king over all Israel. All the rest of the Israelites were also of one mind to make David king.The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking, for their families had supplied provisions for them.Also, their neighbors from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun and Naphtali came bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules and oxen. There were plentiful supplies of flour, fig cakes, raisin cakes, wine, olive oil, cattle and sheep, for there was joy in Israel. (niv)

2 Samuel 5 1-2 Samuel 5 16
All the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said,“ We are your own flesh and blood.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.’”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.David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years.In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned over all Israel and Judah thirty- three years.The king and his men marched to Jerusalem to attack the Jebusites, who lived there. The Jebusites said to David,“ You will not get in here; even the blind and the lame can ward you off.” They thought,“ David cannot get in here.”Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion— which is the City of David.On that day David had said,“ Anyone who conquers the Jebusites will have to use the water shaft to reach those‘ lame and blind’ who are David’s enemies.” That is why they say,“ The‘ blind and lame’ will not enter the palace.”David then took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built up the area around it, from the terraces inward.And he became more and more powerful, because the Lord God Almighty was with him.Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs and carpenters and stonemasons, and they built a palace for David.Then David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.After he left Hebron, David took more concubines and wives in Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him.These are the names of the children born to him there: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,Elishama, Eliada and Eliphelet.
