2 Samuel 23:2-4
King James Version
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 earth by clear shining after rain.

New International Version
2 “The Spirit(A) of the Lord spoke through me;
his word was on my tongue.
3 The God of Israel spoke,
the Rock(B) of Israel said to me:
‘When one rules over people in righteousness,(C)
when he rules in the fear(D) of God,(E)
4 he is like the light(F) of morning(G) at sunrise(H)
on a cloudless morning,
like the brightness after rain(I)
that brings grass from the earth.’
