Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

spake I a word to any of the judges--In 2Sa 7:7 it is "any of the tribes" of Israel. But the judges "who were commanded to feed the people," form the more suitable antithesis to David. Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?--that is, a solid and magnificent temple.
