- 大衛的死期臨近了、就囑咐他兒子所羅門說、
- 我現在要走世人必走的路、所以你當剛強作大丈夫、
- 遵守耶和華你 神所吩咐的、照著摩西律法上所寫的行主的道、謹守他的律例、誡命、典章、法度、這樣、你無論作甚麼事、不拘往何處去、盡都亨通。
- 耶和華必成就向我所應許的話說、你的子孫若謹慎自己的行為、盡心盡意誠誠實實的行在我面前、就不斷人坐以色列的國位。
- 你知道洗魯雅的兒子約押向我所行的、就是殺了以色列的兩個元帥、尼珥的兒子、押尼珥、和益帖的兒子亞瑪撒、他在太平之時流這二人的血、如在爭戰之時一樣、將這血染了腰間束的帶、和腳上穿的鞋。

- Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,
- I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man;
- And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:
- That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.
- Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
