'Rule' in the Bible

In the past, even when Saul was king, you were Israel's commanding general. The Lord your God said to you, 'You will shepherd my people Israel; you will rule over my people Israel.'"

These were the leaders of David's warriors who helped establish and stabilize his rule over all Israel, in accordance with the Lord's word.

He will build a temple to honor me; he will become my son, and I will become his father. I will grant to his dynasty permanent rule over Israel.'

From all the many sons the Lord has given me, he chose Solomon my son to rule on his behalf over Israel.

You are the source of wealth and honor; you rule over all. You possess strength and might to magnify and give strength to all.
