And David went out to meet them, and answered and said to them, “If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if to betray me to my enemies, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers look and bring judgment.”

Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,

He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

David’s Administration

So David reigned over all Israel, and administered judgment and justice to all his people.

Then you will prosper, if you take care to fulfill the statutes and judgments with which the Lord charged Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and of good courage; do not fear nor be dismayed.

Moreover I will establish his kingdom forever, if he is steadfast to observe My commandments and My judgments, as it is this day.’
