2. “The Ruach Adonai has spoken through me and His word is on my tongue.
3. The God of Israel has said, the Rock of Israel has spoken to me, ‘He who rules over men righteously, he who rules in the fear of God—
4. he is like the light of the morning when the sun rises, a cloudless morning of glistening as grass springs from the earth.’
5. Is it not true that my house is with God? For He made an everlasting covenant with me, ordered and secured in all things. Will He not make all my salvation and every desire come to fruition?
6. But the worthless, all of them will be thrust aside like thorns, for they cannot be picked up by hand.
7. But the man who touches them must be armed with iron and the shaft of a spear. They must be completely burned up with fire on the spot.”
8. These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains—he wielded his spear against 800 and slew them in one encounter.
