“After this, David asked the L ORD, “Shall I go and take control of one of the towns of Judah?” “Yes,” the L ORD answered. “Which one?” David asked. “Hebron,” the Lord said. So David went to Hebron…then the men of Judah came to Hebron and anointed David as king of Judah.” 2 Samuel 2:2-4 (WEB) Note: Lord gave specific instructions for David to go to Hebron. At Hebron, David was made king of Judah. Therefore, the time and place was set in the election of a public representative.
