“And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.”
For in mercy shall the throne be established; and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness—a promise that the ruler who receives Moab's appeal (presumably the Davidic king in Jerusalem) will reign with justice and righteousness. The establishment of the throne in mercy and truth suggests a redemptive character to the reign. This verse introduces a messianic note into the oracle against Moab.
