The prophet in question did not actually crown King David; he just anointed him as a future successor. It was the prophet Samuel son of Hannah who originally 'anointed' David, declaring that he would be king in front of his brothers. However, David did not ascend to the throne at that time.
It wasn't until David was 30 years old that 'the older men' from only one tribe, the tribe of Judah at Hebron, anointed David as King.
Saul's surviving son (Ish-Bosheth) was king for the other tribes, until his assassination 2 two years later. It was only then that the other tribes came under David's Kingship.
