OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE — Year C
First Reading: 2 Samuel 5:1-3
A reading from the second book of Samuel.
All the tribes of Israel came to David in Hebron and said: “Here we are, your bone and your flesh. In days past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led the Israelites out and brought them back. And God said to you, ‘You shall shepherd my people Israel and shall be commander of Israel’.” When all the elders of Israel came to David in Hebron, an agreement was made before God, and the elders anointed David king of Israel.
The Word of God recorded in the second book of Samuel.
