⁴ And as for you, if you will ^(A)walk before me, ^(B)as David your father walked, with integrity of heart and uprightness, doing according to all that I have commanded you, and keeping my statutes and my rules,

⁵ because ^(A)David 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, ^(B)except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

¹⁴ And if you will walk in my ways, keeping my statutes and my commandments, ^(A)as your father David walked, then ^(B)I will lengthen your days.”

⁶ So Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and did not wholly follow the Lord, as David his father had done.

⁴ For when Solomon was old his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and ^(A)his heart was not wholly true to the Lord his God, ^(B)as was the heart of David his father.

17 When Abram was ninety-nine years old the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty;^[a] walk before me, and be ^(A)blameless,

⁶ And they were both ^(A)righteous before God, walking ^(B)blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord.

⁷ “Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and ^(A)keep my charge, then you shall ^(B)rule my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you the right of access among ^(C)those who are standing here.
