In context

2So David went there with his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel.

3David also took the men who were with him, each with his household, and they settled in the towns near Hebron.

4Then the men of Judah came to Hebron, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, “It was the men of Jabesh-gilead who buried Saul.”

5So David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-gilead to tell them, “The LORD bless you, because you showed this kindness to Saul your lord when you buried him.

6Now may the LORD show you loving devotion and faithfulness, and I will also show you the same favor because you have done this.
