So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal’s wife the Carmelite.
David went up to Hebron in obedience to God's direction to move there. He took with him his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the Carmelite, as part of the larger household that accompanied him. At Hebron the men of Judah welcomed him and anointed him king over Judah. He made no attempt by force at that time to claim authority over the other tribes.
