And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
After this happened, David asked the LORD, 'Should I go to one of the cities in Judah?' The LORD answered him, 'Yes, go.' Then David asked, 'Where should I go?' And God said, 'To Hebron.'
David is seeking God's guidance about where to move next, and God directs him specifically to the city of Hebron.
📚 Historical Context
This takes place after King Saul's death, when David was transitioning from being a fugitive to potentially becoming king. Hebron was a significant city in Judah, David's home tribe, and would become his first capital where he ruled for seven years before conquering Jerusalem. David's practice of seeking God's direction before major decisions shows his dependence on divine guidance during this crucial period.
