Verse 2 is found in chapter 23 of 2 Samuel. David’s last words present the king as one who received a word from the God of Jacob and whose ideal function is to rule with justice and the fear of God. The image of morning light after rain expresses hope for a government that produces life. David acknowledges that God established an everlasting covenant with him, even though his own house has not perfectly fulfilled the royal ideal. The passage thus maintains the tension between divine promise and human failure.
