- 大卫的死期临近了,就嘱吩他儿子所罗门说,
- 我现在要走世人必走的路。所以,你当刚强,作大丈夫,
- 遵守耶和华你神所吩咐的,照着摩西律法上所写的行主的道,谨守他的律例,诫命,典章,法度。这样,你无论作什么事,不拘往何处去,尽都亨通。
- 耶和华必成就向我所应许的话说,你的子孙若谨慎自己的行为,尽心尽意诚诚实实地行在我面前,就不断人坐以色列的国位。
- 你知道洗鲁雅的儿子约押向我所行的,就是杀了以色列的两个元帅,尼珥的儿子押尼珥和益帖的儿子亚玛撒。他在太平之时流这二人的血,如在争战之时一样,将这血染了腰间束的带和脚上穿的鞋。

- When the time drew near for David to die, he gave a charge to Solomon his son.
- "I am about to go the way of all the earth," he said. "So be strong, show yourself a man,
- and observe what the LORD your God requires: Walk in his ways, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and requirements, as written in the Law of Moses, so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go,
- and that the LORD may keep his promise to me: 'If your descendants watch how they live, and if they walk faithfully before me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.'
- "Now you yourself know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me--what he did to the two commanders of Israel's armies, Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether. He killed them, shedding their blood in peacetime as if in battle, and with that blood stained the belt around his waist and the sandals on his feet.
