Faith Bible Institute Semester 3 Old Testament Practice Test

David's reign from Hebron lasted how long before he ruled from Jerusalem?

7 1/2 years 3 years 10 years 20 years

Correct Answer:

7 1/2 years

Explanation:

David began his kingship in Hebron as ruler over Judah, and that period lasted seven years and six months. After those years, he was anointed king over all Israel and established Jerusalem as his capital, so the move to ruling from Jerusalem came after the seven-and-a-half years in Hebron. This timeline reflects the shift from ruling a single tribe to uniting Israel under one throne and making Jerusalem the central seat of government.
