6 And Solomon said, “You have shown great and steadfast love to your servant David my father, because ^lhe ^mwalked before you in faithfulness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart toward you. And you have kept for him this great and steadfast love and have given him a son to sit on his throne this day.

4 And as for you, ^xif you will walk before me, ^yas David your father walked, ^zwith integrity of heart and uprightness, doing according to all that I have commanded you, and keeping my statutes and my rules,

4 For when Solomon was old his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not ^awholly true to the Lord his God, ^bas was the heart of David his father.

8 and ^rtore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you, and yet you have not been like my servant David, ^swho kept my commandments and followed me with all his heart, doing only that which was right in my eyes,

5 because ^vDavid did what was right in the eyes of the Lord and did not turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, ^wexcept in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
