The people of Judah have anointed me king over them in Hebrou

2 Sanuel 2:1-11

In the course of time, David inquired of the Lord. “Shall I go up to one of the towns of Judah?” he asked. The Lord said, “Go up.” David asked, “Where shall I go?” To Hebron,” the Lord answered.

When David was told that it was the men from Jabesh Gilead who had buried Saul, he sent messengers to them to say to them, “The Lord bless you for showing this kindness to Saul your master by burying him. May the Lord now show you kindness and faithfulness, and I too will show you the same favor because you have done this. Now then, be strong and brave, for Saul your master is dead, and the people of Judah have anointed me king over them.”

Meanwhile, Abner son of Ner, the commander of Saul’s army, had taken Ish-Bosheth son of Saul and brought him over to Mahanaim. He made him king over GileadAshuri and Jezreel, and also over Ephraim, Benjamin and all Israel.

Ish-Bosheth son of Saul was forty years old when he became king over Israel, and he reigned for two years. The tribe of Judah, however, remained loyal to David. The length of time David was king in Hebron over Judah was seven years and six months.

Why?

One king in Hevron was anointed by the people of Judah. Another king Ish-Bosheh was token by Abner as king over Gilead, Ashuri and Jezreel, Ephraim, Benjamin, and all of Isreal. 

One king was anointed by the Lord, and another king was set up by man.

Israelites separated into two nations. 

The people in this world are reigned by two kings, One belongs to the Lord, saved by Jesus Christ, and others belong to their own.

This is the beginning of Israel's division into two parts, separated to the north and south Israel.

How?

This is the world and this is the real situation now. Blessing are those who know the Lord and obey God's words. People like authority and the great name has existed from the beginning.
