24 Therefore, a covenant of peace
was established with Phinehas,
    that he should preside
    over the holy places
    and over his people,
        so that he and his descendants
        might have the splendor
        of the priesthood forever.
25 The Lord also made a covenant
with David,
    Jesse’s son, from the tribe of Judah;
        the king’s inheritance
        that passes from son to son only;
        Aaron’s inheritance
        is also for his descendants.

26 May the Lord grant you peace
in your heart,[a]
    to judge his people justly,
    so that the good things they have
    might not vanish
    and so that their glory might extend
    to generations to come.
