David’s ending speech

2 Sam 23:1–7

23:1 David’s ending speech

23 These are David’s final words:

“The message from Yishay’s (Jesse’s) son David—

≈ a message from the man who rose through the ranks—

who was selected by Ya’akov’s (Jacob’s) god—

singer of Yisrael’s (Israel’s) pleasant songs.

2 Yahweh’s spirit spoke through me.

≈ His message came out of my mouth.

3 Yisrael’s god spoke to me.

≈ The rock of Yisrael told me.

The one who rules people with justice,

→ rules out of his respect for God.

4 He’s like the rising sun bringing the morning light—

a cloudless morning.

Glistening after the rain that grows fresh grass from the soil.

5 My household is aligned with God,

because he made a perpetual agreement with me—

all arranged and secured.

He’ll make my salvation and every desire grow. ???

6 But evil people are like thorns—

they’re all thrown away.

because they injure your hands.

7 Anyone who wants to move them

must use a metal tool or a wooden stick.

They’ll be incinerated right there.”
