2 Samuel 23:3-5

Revised Geneva Translation

³ “The God of Israel spoke to me, the Strength of Israel said: ‘Bear rule over men, being just, ruling in the fear of God,

⁴ ‘as the morning light when the Sun rises. Be as the morning, I say, without clouds, as the grass of the earth by the bright rain.’

⁵ “For my House shall not be so with God. For He has made with me an everlasting Covenant, perfect in all points, and sure. It is with all my health and whole desire. Will He not make it grow?
