David understood that the blessing and help which he received from the Lord was meant to be for the sake of serving the people of Israel.1 Later, he was told that it was his task to complete the planting of the people in the land by securing the borders (see Exodus 15:1–27; 2 Samuel 7:9–10).
12 David reconnut que l'Eternel l'affermissait comme roi d'Israël, et qu'il élevait son royaume à cause de son peuple d'Israël.
