2nd-Samuel 2:6

May the Lord be good and true to you: and I myself will see that your kind act is rewarded, because you have done this thing.

And now the Lord surely will render you mercy and truth, and I also will, requite you for this good turn, because you have done this thing.

2nd-Samuel 2:7

Then let your hands be strong, and have no fear: though Saul your lord is dead, the people of Judah have made me their king.

Let your hands be strengthened, and be ye men of valour: for although your master Saul be dead, yet the house of Juda hath anointed me to be their king.
