1 Chronicles 11:3Easy To Read VersionAll the leaders of Israel came to King David at the town of Hebron. David made an agreement with those leaders in Hebron before the Lord.

Then Jehoiada made the agreement between the Lord and the king and the people. This agreement showed that the king and the people belonged to the Lord. Jehoiada also made the agreement between the king and the people. {This agreement showed what the king would do for the people. And it showed that the people would obey and follow the king.}
The Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you feel sorry for Saul? You are feeling sorry for him, even after I told you that I refuse to let Saul be the king of Israel! Fill your horn [141] with oil and go to Bethlehem. I am sending you to a man named Jesse. Jesse lives in Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons to be the new king.”
