And the days drew near for David to die, and he charged Solomon his son, saying:

Thus Jehovah has fulfilled His word which He has spoken; and I have risen up in place of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah has promised; and I have built a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.

And Jehovah said to Moses: Behold, you shall rest with your fathers; and this people will rise up and commit adultery with the gods of the foreigners of the land, where they are going in to be among them, and they will forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with them.

Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king lies down with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be counted as offenders.

And many of those sleeping in the earth's dust shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproach and everlasting abhorrence.
