2 Samuel 23:6 in context

  1. 4shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises,
    a morning without clouds,
    when the tender grass springs out of the earth,
    through clear shining after rain.’
  2. 5Isn’t my house so with God?
    Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant,
    ordered in all things, and sure,
    for it is all my salvation, and all my desire,
    although he doesn’t make it grow.
  3. 6But all the ungodly will be as thorns to be thrust away,
    because they can’t be taken with the hand,
  4. 7But the man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear.
    They will be utterly burned with fire in their place.”
  5. 8These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb Basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; he was called Adino the Eznite, who killed eight hundred at one time.
