2 SAMUEL 5:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And David perceived that the Lord had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.”
And David perceived that the LORD had established him as king over Israel — David recognizes divine confirmation. His insight that the Lord has 'established' (נִשְׁמַר, niš-mar) his kingship shows theological awareness: David understands his rule as divinely secured. The reference to 'his people Israel' echoes covenant language: Israel is the Lord's people, and David is their shepherd-king.
