2 Samuel 6:18

2 Samuel 6:18 -

David … blessed the people in the name of Jehovah of hosts. Blessing the people was an important priestly function, for which a special formula was provided ( Numbers 6:22-26 ). But this did not deprive the king, who was Jehovah's anointed representative, of the right of also blessing them, and Solomon, at the consecration of the temple, followed his father's example in a very solemn manner ( 2 Chronicles 6:3 ).
