All the tribes of Israel came to David at
Hebron and said, "We are your own flesh and
blood. 2
In the past, while Saul was king over us,
you were the one who led Israel on their military
campaigns. And the LORD said to you, 'You will shepherd my people
Israel, and you will become their ruler.' " 3
When all the elders of
Israel had come to King David at Hebron, the king made a compact
with them at Hebron before the LORD, and they anointed David

10. How Should
We React?
1Thessalonians5:12-13
Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who
work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and
who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love
because of their work. Live in peace with each other.

11. How Should
We React?
1Timothy5:17-19
The elders who direct the affairs of the church well
are worthy of double honour, especially those whose
work is preaching and teaching. For the Scripture says, "Do
not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain," and "The
worker deserves his wages.” Do not entertain an accusation against an
elder unless it is brought by two or three witnesses.
