Afterward David inquired of the LORD,“ Should I go up to one of the cities of Judah?” The LORD told him,“ Go up.” David asked,“ Where should I go?” The LORD replied,“ To Hebron.”
The men of Judah came and there they anointed David as king over the people of Judah. David was told,“ The people of Jabesh Gilead are the ones who buried Saul.”
Joshua asked God to empower Caleb son of Jephunneh and assigned him Hebron.So Hebron remains the assigned land of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this very day because he remained loyal to the LORD God of Israel.( Hebron used to be called Kiriath Arba. Arba was a famous Anakite.) Then the land was free of war.
