1 Chronicles 11:1,2

All Israel gathered themselves to David That is, all the tribes of Israel, as it is expressed 2 Samuel 5:1, by their elders (1Ch 11:3) and officers, and a great multitude of their soldiers and people. The Lord said unto thee Or, concerning thee: for it is apparent that they knew it was God's will David should be king, and therefore many of them had opposed David hitherto against their own consciences.
