2 Samuel 23:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² ‘The Spirit of the Lord gives me his message.
    I speak what he tells me to say.
³ Israel's God has spoken.
The one who keeps Israel safe said to me,
    “A king should rule over people in a way that is right and fair.
    He should show that he respects and obeys God.
⁴ A king who rules like that is like the light of the sun at dawn.
    He is like the sky when it has no clouds in it in the morning.
He is like bright sun after rain,
    that helps the grass to grow strongly.”
