2 Samuel 23:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 The God of Israel spake to me, the strength of Israel said, Thou shalt bear rule over men, being just, and ruling in the fear of God.
4 Even as the morning light when the sun riseth, the morning, I say, without clouds, so shall mine house be, and not as the [a]grass of the earth is by the bright rain.
5 For so shall not mine house be with God: for he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, perfect in all points, and sure: therefore all mine health and whole desire is, that he will not make it [b]grow so.
