2 Samuel 2:7
Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them. Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
The verse is David's message to the men of Jabesh-gilead, sent after they had honorably buried Saul. In it he announces that the house of Judah has anointed him king over them. He urges them to be strong and courageous now that Saul is dead, and invites them to give him their support.
