- 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。

- 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.
