# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
The believers complete their quotation from King David in the Psalms that they began in [Acts 4:25](./23.md).
|
|
|
|
# The kings of the earth set themselves together, and the rulers gathered together against the Lord
|
|
|
|
These two lines mean basically the same thing. The two lines emphasize the combined effort of the earth's rulers to oppose God. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])

|
|
# set themselves together ... gathered together
|
|
|
|
These two phrases mean that they joined their armies together to fight a battle. AT: "set their armies together ... gathered their troops together" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

|
# against the Lord, and against his Christ
|
|
|
|
Here the word "Lord" refers to God. In the Psalms, the word "Christ" refers to the Messiah or God's anointed one.
