2 Samuel 5:2

Therefore Saul turned him away from his presence and appointed him as his commander of one thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.

“Wherever I have gone about with all the sons of Israel, did I speak a word with one of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’”’

“Previously, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led out and brought in Israel; and Yahweh your God said to you, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be a ruler over My people Israel.’”

All these, being men of war who could draw up in battle lines, came to Hebron with their whole heart to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.

“Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people, for who can do justice for this great people of Yours?”

From following the nursing ewes He brought him To shepherd Jacob His people, And Israel His inheritance.
