1 Kings 2:1-4
1As David’s 12time to die drew near, he commanded his son Solomon, saying, 2“3I am going the way of all the earth. So 4be strong, and 5prove yourself a man. 3Do your duty to the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, to 6keep His statutes, His commandments, His ordinances, and His testimonies, 7according to what is written in the Law of Moses, so that 8you may succeed in all that you do and wherever you turn, 4so that 9the Lord may fulfill His 10promise which He spoke regarding me, saying, ‘11If your sons are careful about their way, 12to walk before Me in 13truth with all their heart and all their soul, 1415you shall not be deprived of a man to occupy the throne of Israel.’
