2 Samuel 23:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ The God of Israel spoke.
    The Rock of Israel said to me:
‘The person who rules fairly over people,
    the person who rules with respect for God,
⁴ he is like the morning light at dawn.
    He is like a morning without clouds.
He is like sunshine after a rain.
    The sunshine makes the tender grass grow out of the ground.’
