1 Chronicles 29:26

David reigned over all Israel; and he executed justice and righteousness for all his people.

David reigned over all Israel; and David executed justice and righteousness for all his people.

All these were men of war, who could order the battle array, and came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face.

Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on David’s throne, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.

“Should you reign, because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn’t your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him.

“In those days and at that time, I will cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David. He will execute justice and righteousness in the land.

For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.

For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, continually doing this very thing.
