After 2 Samuel 23:1-7
A just ruler is one
who rules in the fear
of the Lord, and so
rules justly and
fairly. How do we
know? If the ruler
dawns on his people
like the morning light,
like the sun shining
in a blue sky, like
a gentle rain that
brings grass from
the earth, then
we know the ruler
is just. It is not
what a ruler says;
it is what the ruler
does.
