The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: SA2 7:29 Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy
servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord
GOD, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant
be blessed for ever.
SA2 8:1 And after this it came to pass that David smote the
Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Methegammah out of the
hand of the Philistines.
SA2 8:2 And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them
down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and
with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David's
servants, and brought gifts.
