2 Samuel 23:3-5
New Century Version
2 Samuel 23:3-5
New Century Version
3 The God of Israel spoke;
the Rock of Israel said to me:
‘Whoever rules fairly over people,
who rules with respect for God,
4 is like the morning light at dawn,
like a morning without clouds.
He is like sunshine after a rain
that makes the grass sprout from the ground.’
5 “This is how God has cared for my family.
God made a lasting agreement with me,
right and sure in every way.
He will accomplish my salvation
and satisfy all my desires.

2 Samuel 23:3-5
New International Version
3 The God of Israel spoke,
the Rock(A) of Israel said to me:
‘When one rules over people in righteousness,(B)
when he rules in the fear(C) of God,(D)
4 he is like the light(E) of morning(F) at sunrise(G)
on a cloudless morning,
like the brightness after rain(H)
that brings grass from the earth.’
5 “If my house were not right with God,
surely he would not have made with me an everlasting covenant,(I)
arranged and secured in every part;
surely he would not bring to fruition my salvation
and grant me my every desire.
