After Saul's death, David was crowned king by the people of Judah, but Avner crowned Saul's son Ish Bosheth over the other tribes (2 Samuel 2:4-9).
David's kingdom gradually spread over all twelve Israelite tribes, because:
- The people of Judah prevailed in battle (2 Samuel 3:1).
- Avner eventually rescinded his support for Ish Bosheth, after Ish Bosheth angered him (Avner), in 2 Samuel ch.3. See also 2 Samuel 4:1.
- Other former supporters of Ish Bosheth killed Ish Bosheth (2 Samuel ch.4), leaving David as the only king de facto, which everyone willingly accepted (see 2 Samuel 5:1-3).

When did Israel unite under Saul?
AnswerAccording to the Bible, Saul became king of Israel around 1020 BCE.However, while there is circumstantial evidence that a King David did exist, or at least that the Judahites believed that a legendary king of that name had once existed, there is no extra-biblical evidence for the existence of Saul.
