While David lived in the Philistine town of Ziklag, men from all the tribes of Israel kept coming to join his forces. They came day after day until he had a great army. After Saul’s death, David asked the Lord if he should go back to a town in Judah. The Lord said, “Go to Hebron.”
So David and his men took their families and moved to all the towns around Hebron. The men of Judah went to David and made him king of their tribe.
