2 Samuel 23:1-2
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 23
The Last Words of David.[a] 1 These are the last words of David:
The oracle of David, son of Jesse;
the oracle of the man God raised up,
Anointed of the God of Jacob,
favorite of the Mighty One of Israel.(A)
2 The spirit of the Lord spoke through me;
his word was on my tongue.(B)

- 23:1–7 The last words of David: the text of this short composition is difficult in places; it views David’s career in retrospect.
