2 Samuel 23:1-7. The last words of David

The great hymn of triumph in ch. 22, composed when David was in the zenith of his prosperity, is followed by his "last words:" his last prophetic utterance, delivered not long before his death, a parting testimony to the world of his confidence in the fulfilment of the promise concerning the eternal dominion of his posterity.

A translation of the Targum or Aramaic paraphrase of David's last words is given in Note IV., p. 237.
