22 And you proceeded to constitute your people Israel as your people+ to time indefinite, and you yourself, O Jehovah, became their God.+

11 At that Hiʹram the king of Tyre+ said [the word] in writing and sent [it] to Solʹo·mon: “Because Jehovah loved+ his people he has constituted you king over them.”+
