David's charge begins with the prayer, "The Lord be with thee." Commentators explain this is not a casual greeting but a foundational blessing. It is a wish, or a prayer of faith, recognizing that God's presence is the essential ingredient for accomplishing His work. This phrase is even the origin of the familiar liturgical formula, "The Lord be with you."
