Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

23:1-7 This passage comes from the end of David’s career and reflects on his experience as king, even as ch 22 reflects on his experience before becoming king.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
(Occurrence 0) The God of Israel spoke, the Rock of Israel … me
(Some words not found in UHB: he/it_had_said god_of Yisrael to=me said rock_of Yisrael rules in/on/at/with,men law-abiding/just rules fear_of ʼElohīm )
Here the “God of Israel” is the same as the “Rock of Israel.” The two phrases say essentially the same thing. David compares God to a rock to emphasize his power to protect his people. (See also: figs-metaphor)
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
(Occurrence 0) The one who rules righteously over men, who rules in the fear of God
(Some words not found in UHB: he/it_had_said god_of Yisrael to=me said rock_of Yisrael rules in/on/at/with,men law-abiding/just rules fear_of ʼElohīm )
These two sentences both say that the king will respect God and do what God wants him to do.
(Occurrence 0) in the fear of God
(Some words not found in UHB: he/it_had_said god_of Yisrael to=me said rock_of Yisrael rules in/on/at/with,men law-abiding/just rules fear_of ʼElohīm )
