Translation commentary on Wisdom 9:7

Thou hast chosen me to be king of thy people and to be judge over thy sons and daughters: It is possible to combine the two lines to say “You have chosen me as king and as judge of your people, your own sons and daughters [or, children]” or “You have chosen me to rule and judge your people, your own….”
