Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 2 of 2 Samuel. After Saul’s death, David does not immediately move against his former rivals, but consults the Lord about where he should settle. God directs him to Hebron, where he is anointed king over Judah. The action shows that his rise occurs progressively and under divine direction. David also honors the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead for burying Saul, publicly reinforcing that he does not regard the former king’s death as a personal victory to be celebrated.

So seien nun eure Hände getrost, und seit freudig; denn euer Herr, Saul ist tot; so hat mich das Haus Juda zum König gesalbt über sich.
Esfuércense pues ahora vuestras manos, y sed valientes; pues que muerto Saúl vuestro señor, los de la casa de Judá me han ungido por rey sobre ellos.
Que vos mains se fortifient, et soyez de vaillants hommes; car votre maître Saül est mort, et c'est moi que la maison de Juda a oint pour roi sur elle.
Perciò sieno ora le vostre mani rinforzate, e portatevi da valenti uomini; perciocchè Saulle, vostro signore, è morto; ma la casa di Giuda mi ha unto per re sopra loro
Esforcem-se, pois, agora as vossas mãos, e sede homens valentes, pois Saul, vosso senhor, é morto, mas também os da casa de Judá já me ungiram a mim por seu rei.
現在,你們的主 掃羅 死了, 猶大 家也已經膏我作他們的王,你們的手要堅強,要作英勇的人。」
