1 Kings 2:1-3

1David knew that he would soon die. So this is what he said to his son Solomon:

2‘Soon I will die, as everyone must die one day. Be strong and brave, as a man should be.

3Do what the Lord your God tells you to do. Live in a way that pleases him. Obey his rules, commands and laws that Moses has written down in his books of God's Law. Then everything that you do will go well, wherever you go.
