Atomic number of sulfur is 16. The electronic configuration of sulfur (S) can be written as $[Ne]3s^{2}3p^{4}$ . So, inorder to reach the stable octet configuration the valence shell tends to accept two electrons to form sulfide, a divalent anion.

This can be represented as,

$S + 2e^{-}--S^{2-}$

Therefore, the charge on sulfide ion $S^{2-}$ is -2 as sulfur atom tries to get a stable octet configuration by accepting two electrons giving a negative charge to the ion formed.
