From David to Solomon

Now the days of David drew near that he should die, and he charged Solomon his son, saying: "I go the way of all the earth; be strong, therefore, and prove yourself a man.  And keep the charge of the LORD your God: to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn; that the LORD may fulfill His word which He spoke concerning me, saying,'If your sons take heed to their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul,' He said,'you shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.' (1 Kings 2:1-4; NKJV)

David understood the promise Jehovah made him in 2 Samuel 7:12-16.  He urged his son Solomon to be faithful to Jehovah, because He understood that if Solomon were unfaithful, Jehovah would remove him from the throne.  So long as Solomon was faithful, Jehovah made him prosper.

Keep the charges of Jehovah.  Walk in Jehovah's way.  Prosper in all that you do.
