New American Standard Bible (NASB)
1 Chronicles 10
13 So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the Lord, because of the word of the Lord which he did not keep; and also because he asked counsel of a medium, making inquiry of it,
14 and did not inquire of the Lord. Therefore He killed him and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
1 Chronicles 11
1 Then all Israel gathered to David at Hebron and said, "Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
2 In times past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led out and brought in Israel; and the Lord your God said to you, ’You shall shepherd My people Israel, and you shall be prince over My people Israel.’"
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the Lord; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord through Samuel.
4 Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
5 The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You shall not enter here." Nevertheless David captured the stronghold of Zion (that is, the city of David).
6 Now David had said, "Whoever strikes down a Jebusite first shall be chief and commander." Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief.
7 Then David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David.
8 He built the city all around, from the Millo even to the surrounding area; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
9 David became greater and greater, for the Lord of hosts was with him.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
