1 Kings 3:6

3:6 Solomon replied, “You demonstrated ¹  great loyalty to your servant, my father David, as he served ²  you faithfully, properly, and sincerely. ³  You have maintained this great loyalty to this day by allowing his son to sit on his throne. ⁴ 

1 Kings 11:38

11:38 You must obey ⁵  all I command you to do, follow my instructions, ⁶  do what I approve, ⁷  and keep my rules and commandments, like my servant David did. Then I will be with you and establish for you a lasting dynasty, as I did for David; ⁸  I will give you Israel.

¹ tn Heb “did.”

² tn Heb “walked before.”

³ tn Heb “in faithfulness and in innocence and in uprightness of heart with you.”

⁴ tn Heb “and you have kept to him this great loyalty and you gave to him a son [who] sits on his throne as this day.”

⁵ tn Heb “If you obey.” In the Hebrew text v. 38 is actually one long conditional sentence, which has been broken into two parts in the translation for stylistic purposes.

⁶ tn Heb “walk in my ways.”

⁷ tn Heb “do what is right in my eyes.”

⁸ tn Heb “I will build for you a permanent house, like I built for David.”
