TSNTyndale Study Notes:

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.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

(Occurrence 0) He will be like the morning light … sunshine after rain

(Some words not found in UHB: and,like,light morning rises sun morning not clouds with,gleaming after,rain vegetation from,earth )

Here God is comparing the king to the morning light and sunshine after the rain. These are all ways of saying this king would be a delight to God and a blessing for the people. These two phrases have a similar meaning and are used for emphasis. Alternate translation: “He will be a delight to all” (See also: figs-parallelism)
