Remove the wicked from the king’s presence,
and his throne will be established in righteousness.

Wicked behavior is detestable to kings,
since a throne is established through righteousness.

A king sitting on a throne to judge
sifts out all evil with his eyes.

A king who judges the poor with fairness—
his throne will be established forever.

Their blood will come back on Joab’s head and on the head of his descendants forever, but for David, his descendants, his dynasty, and his throne, there will be peace from the Lord forever.”

Then the king commanded Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck Shimei down, and he died. So the kingdom was established in Solomon’s hand.

They hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s anger subsided.

The king’s edict gave the Jews in each and every city the right to assemble and defend themselves, to destroy, kill, and annihilate every ethnic and provincial army hostile to them, including women and children, and to take their possessions as spoils of war.

No one who acts deceitfully
will live in my palace;
no one who tells lies
will remain in my presence.

Loyalty and faithfulness deliver a king;
through loyalty he maintains his throne.

The dominion will be vast,
and its prosperity will never end.
He will reign on the throne of David
and over his kingdom,
to establish and sustain it
with justice and righteousness from now on and forever.
The zeal of the Lord of Hosts will accomplish this.

Then in the tent of David
a throne will be established by faithful love.
A judge who seeks what is right
and is quick to execute justice
will sit on the throne forever.
