2 Samuel 23:2-7

2The Spirit of Jehovah spake by me,And his word was upon my tongue.3The God of Israel said,The Rock of Israel spake to me:One that ruleth over men righteously,That ruleth in the fear of God,4He shall beas the light of the morning, when the sun riseth,A morning without clouds,Whenthe tender grassspringeth out of the earth,Through clear shining after rain.5Verily my house is not so with God;Yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant,Ordered in all things, and sure:For it is all my salvation, and allmydesire,Although he maketh it not to grow.6But the ungodly shall be all of them as thorns to be thrust away,Because they cannot be taken with the hand;7But the man that toucheth themMust be armed with iron and the staff of a spear:And they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place.
