2 The Spirit of the Lord spake by me,and his word was in my tongue.
3 The God of Israel said,the Rock of Israel spake to me,He that ruleth over men must be just,ruling in the fear of God.
4 And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earthby clear shining after rain.
5 Although my house be not so with God;yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant,ordered in all things, and sure:for this is all my salvation, and all my desire,although he make it not to grow.
6 But the sons of Be´li-al shall be all of them as thorns thrust away,because they cannot be taken with hands:
7 but the man that shall touch themmust be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear;and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.
8 These be the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tach´monite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same was Ad´ino the Eznite: he lifted up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.
