2 Samuel 23:1-4

2 Samuel 23:1-4

[1] Now these be the last  words  of David.  the son  of Jesse  said,  and the man  who was raised up  on high,  the anointed  of the God  of Jacob,  and the sweet  psalmist  of Israel,  said,  [2] The Spirit  of the LORD  spake  by me, and his word  was in my tongue.  [3] The God  of Israel  said,  the Rock  of Israel  spake  to me, He that ruleth  over men  must be just,  ruling  in the fear  of God.  [4] And he shall be as the light  of the morning,  when the sun  riseth,  even a morning  without  clouds;  as the tender grass  springing out of the earth  by clear shining  after rain.
