2 Samuel 5 narrates the unification of the tribes of Judah and Israel under the reign of King David. The chapter begins with the leaders of Israel coming to David in Hebrom to recognize him as his king after the death of Saul. Then David leads a successful battle against the Jebusum and takes Jerusalem as his capital. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in 2 Samuel 5:

Genesis 49:10: "The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the command rod among his descendants, until he comes to whom he belongs, and to him the nations will obey." This verse is a prophecy of Jacob upon his son Judah, who would become the royal tribe of Israel. The unification of the tribes under the reign of David is a realization of this prophecy.

Numbers 27:17: "May the Lord, the God of the spirits of all humanity, designate someone about this community to lead it." This verse was spoken by Moses when he asked God to choose a successor to lead the Israelites after his death. David was chosen by God to be Saul's successor and lead the Israelites.

1 Chronicles 11:4-5: "David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus). The Jebuses who dwelt there said to David, 'You will never come here!' But David took the fortress of Zion, which is the city of David. " This verse describes the Battle of David against the Jebuses to take Jerusalem as its capital. David's victory over the Jebuses is an important milestone in Israel's history.

Psalm 2:6-7: "I was the one who anointed my king over Zion, my holy mount." This psalm is a prophecy about the Messiah, which would be anointed by God to rule the nations. David's anointing as king of Israel is a foreshadowing of this event.

Isaiah 9:6-7: "For a boy was born to us, a son has been given to us, and the government is upon his shoulders. And he will be called the wonderful counselor, powerful God, eternal father, prince of peace. Government and peace there will be no end on the throne of David and on his kingdom, to firm and fortify him with judgment and justice, from now on and forever. " This verse is a prophecy about the Messiah that would come from the lineage of David. The unification of the tribes of Israel under the reign of David is a foreshadowing of the Eternal Government of the Messiah over all nations.
