5:1-25 After the murder of Abner and Ishbosheth, the elders of the northern tribes accepted David as their king. David thus obtained an extended empire (5:1-5), a new capital city (5:6-10), a new palace (5:11), a new family (5:13-16), and renewed confidence (5:17-25). 5:1 your own flesh and blood: Years of civil war had set brother against brother, resulting in much bloodshed (see 3:1).
