and do what the LORD your God orders you to do. Obey all his laws and commands, as written in the Law of Moses, so that wherever you go you may prosper in everything you do.

If you obey him, the LORD will keep the promise he made when he told me that my descendants would rule Israel as long as they were careful to obey his commands faithfully with all their heart and soul.

And may the LORD your God give you insight and wisdom so that you may govern Israel according to his Law.

If you obey all the laws which the LORD gave to Moses for Israel, you will be successful. Be determined and confident, and don't let anything make you afraid.

And to Solomon he said, "My son, I charge you to acknowledge your father's God and to serve him with an undivided heart and a willing mind. He knows all our thoughts and desires. If you go to him, he will accept you; but if you turn away from him, he will abandon you forever.

If you serve me faithfully as your father David did, obeying my laws and doing everything I have commanded you,

But if you and your people ever disobey the laws and commands I have given you and worship other gods,

If your sons are true to my covenant and to the commands I give them, their sons, also, will succeed you for all time as kings."

the LORD Almighty had said: "If you obey my laws and perform the duties I have assigned you, then you will continue to be in charge of my Temple and its courts, and I will hear your prayers, just as I hear the prayers of the angels who are in my presence.

Solomon loved the LORD and followed the instructions of his father David, but he also slaughtered animals and offered them as sacrifices on various altars.

If you will serve me in honesty and integrity, as your father David did, and if you obey my laws and do everything I have commanded you,

I will keep the promise I made to your father David when I told him that Israel would always be ruled by his descendants.

The LORD did this because David had done what pleased him and had never disobeyed any of his commands, except in the case of Uriah the Hittite.

The LORD blessed Jehoshaphat because he followed the example of his father's early life and did not worship Baal.

He served his father's God, obeyed God's commands, and did not act the way the kings of Israel did.

Following the example of his ancestor King David, he did what was pleasing to the LORD.

He did what was pleasing to the LORD; he followed the example of his ancestor King David, strictly obeying all the laws of God.

After removing him, God made David their king. This is what God said about him: 'I have found that David son of Jesse is the kind of man I like, a man who will do all I want him to do.'

" 'Respect your father and your mother, as I, the LORD your God, command you, so that all may go well with you and so that you may live a long time in the land that I am giving you.

Use true and honest weights and measures, so that you may live a long time in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

He asked for life, and you gave it, a long and lasting life.

I will reward them with long life; I will save them."

My teaching will give you a long and prosperous life.

Wisdom offers you long life, as well as wealth and honor.

Physical exercise has some value, but spiritual exercise is valuable in every way, because it promises life both for the present and for the future.
