All these made up the men of war, arranged in ranks, who came to Hebron with a sincere heart to make David king over all Israel, along with all the rest of Israel, who with one heart, came to make David king.
They selected Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.
Joshua called for all the Israelite tribes at Shechem and summoned the elders, clan heads, judges, and officials of Israel. They presented themselves before God.
