Shmuel Bais 2:5-11 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

5. And Dovid sent malachim unto the Anshei Yavesh-Gilead, and said unto them, Berukhim atem of Hashem, that ye have showed this chesed unto adoneichem, even unto Sha'ul, burying him.

6. And now Hashem show chesed and emes unto you; and I also will repay you this tovah, because ye have done this thing.

7. Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, be ye bnei chayil; for adoneichem Sha'ul is dead, and also the Bais Yehudah have anointed me Melech over them.

8. But Avner ben Ner, Sar Tzava of Sha'ul, took Ishboshet Ben Sha'ul, and brought him over to Machanayim;

9. And made him melech over Gil`ad, and over the Ashuri, and over Yizre'el, and over Ephrayim, and over Binyamin, and over all Yisroel.

10. Ishboshet ben Sha'ul was forty shanah when he began to reign over Yisroel, and reigned two shanim. But Bais Yehudah followed Dovid.

11. And the time that Dovid was Melech in Chevron over Bais Yehudah was shivah shanah and shishah chodashim.
