"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.'

"Only may the LORD give you wisdom and understanding, and give you charge concerning Israel, that you may keep the law of the LORD your God.

"Then you will prosper, if you take care to fulfill the statutes and judgments with which the LORD charged Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and of good courage; do not fear nor be dismayed.

" As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever.

"As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments,

" But if you turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods, and worship them,

If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I shall teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore."

"Thus says the LORD of hosts: 'If you will walk in My ways, And if you will keep My command, Then you shall also judge My house, And likewise have charge of My courts; I will give you places to walk Among these who stand here.

And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of his father David, except that he sacrificed and burned incense at the high places.

"Now if you walk before Me as your father David walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, [and] if you keep My statutes and My judgments,

"then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised David your father, saying, 'You shall not fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.'

because David did [what was] right in the eyes of the LORD, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

Now the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the former ways of his father David; he did not seek the Baals,

but sought the God of his father, and walked in His commandments and not according to the acts of Israel.

And he did [what was] right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father David had done.

And he did [what was] right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of his father David; [he] did [not] turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

' Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, that your days may be long, and that it may be well with you in the land which the LORD your God is giving you.

He asked life from You, [and] You gave [it] to him -- Length of days forever and ever.

With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation."

For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you.

Length of days [is] in her right hand, In her left hand riches and honor.

For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
