David’s Final Words to Solomon
2:1 When David was close to death , he told Solomon his son :
2:2 “I am about to die . Be strong and become a man !
2:3 Do the job the Lord your God has assigned you by following his instructions and obeying his rules , commandments , regulations , and laws as written in the law of Moses . Then you will succeed in all you do and seek to accomplish ,
2:4 and the Lord will fulfill his promise to me, ‘If your descendants watch their step and live faithfully in my presence with all their heart and being , then,’ he promised , ‘you will not fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel .’
2:5 “You know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me– how he murdered two commanders of the Israelite armies , Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether . During peacetime he struck them down like he would in battle ; when he shed their blood as if in battle , he stained his own belt and the sandals on his feet .
