“So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anointed David king over Israel.”
So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them — The formal covenant between David and Israel's elders establishes legitimacy. This covenant parallels the earlier covenants between David and Judah, and Abner and Israel; now it encompasses all the people. David's rule is confirmed by collective agreement and divine word.
