Chapter 23 3, 4. David Seeks Assurance—He [David] had been anointed as king, and he thought that some measure of responsibility rested upon him for the protection of his people. If he could but have the positive assurance that he was moving in the path of duty, he would start out with his limited forces, and stand faithfully at his post whatever might be the consequences (The Signs of the Times, October 5, 1888).{2BC 1020.5}

Kapitel 23

3. 4. David søger forsikring. - Han [David] var blevet salvet som konge, og han tænkte at et mål af ansvar hvilede over ham for at beskytte sit folk. Hvis han blot kunne få en positiv forsikring om at han bevægede sig på pligtens sti, ville han starte ud med sine begrænsede kræfter, og stå trofast på sin post, uanset følgerne (ST 5. okt., 1888).
