"So if you walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days."

"Therefore, LORD God of Israel, now keep what You promised Your servant David my father, saying, 'You shall not fail to have a man sit before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, that they walk before Me as you have walked before Me.'

For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the LORD his God, as [was] the heart of his father David.

Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and did not fully follow the LORD, as [did] his father David.

'Then it shall be, if you heed all that I command you, walk in My ways, and do [what is] right in My sight, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as My servant David did, then I will be with you and build for you an enduring house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.

"and tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to you; and [yet] you have not been as My servant David, who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart, to do only [what was] right in My eyes;

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.

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, "I [am] Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.

"Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.

"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,

"then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, 'You shall not fail [to have] a man as ruler in Israel.'

My foot has held fast to His steps; I have kept His way and not turned aside.

I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth More than my necessary [food.]

He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart;

A Psalm of David. Vindicate me, O LORD, For I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in the LORD; I shall not slip.

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity; Redeem me and be merciful to me.

The righteous [man] walks in his integrity; His children [are] blessed after him.

"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 they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God;

for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

He who walks with integrity walks securely, But he who perverts his ways will become known.

Whoever walks blamelessly will be saved, But [he who is] perverse [in his] ways will suddenly fall.
