Do what God tells you. Walk in the paths he shows you: Follow the life-map absolutely, keep an eye out for the signposts, his course for life set out in the revelation to Moses; then you\u2019ll get on well in whatever you do and wherever you go. Then God will confirm what he promised me when he said, \u2018If your sons watch their step, staying true to me heart and soul, you\u2019ll always have a successor on Israel\u2019s throne.\u2019 5-6\u201cAnd don\u2019t forget what Joab son of Zeruiah did to the two commanders of Israel\u2019s army, to Abner son of Ner and to Amasa son of Jether. He murdered them in cold blood, acting in peacetime as if he were at war, and has been stained with that blood ever since. Do what you think best with him, but by no means let him get off scot-free\u2014make him pay. 7\u201cBut be generous to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite\u2014extend every hospitality to them; that\u2019s the way they treated me when I was running for my life from Absalom your brother. 8-9\u201cYou also will have to deal with Shimei son of Gera the Benjaminite from Bahurim, the one who cursed me so viciously when I was on my way to Mahanaim. Later, when he welcomed me back at the Jordan, I promised him under God, \u2018I won\u2019t put you to death.\u2019 But neither should you treat him as if nothing ever happened. You\u2019re wise, you know how to handle these things. You\u2019ll know what to do to make him pay before he dies.\u201d * * * 10-12Then David joined his ancestors. He was buried in the City of David. David ruled Israel for forty years\u2014seven years in Hebron and another thirty-three in Jerusalem. Solomon took over on the throne of his father David; he had a firm grip on the kingdom. Solomon 13-14Adonijah son of Haggith came to Bathsheba, Solomon\u2019s mother. She said, \u201cDo you come in peace?\u201d He said, \u201cIn peace.\u201d And then, \u201cMay I say something to you?\u201d \u201cGo ahead,\u201d she said, \u201cspeak.\u201d 15-16\u201cYou know that I had the kingdom right in my hands and everyone expected me to be king, and then the whole thing backfired and the kingdom landed in my brother\u2019s lap\u2014God\u2019s doing. So now I have one request to ask of you; please don\u2019t refuse me.\u201d \u201cGo ahead, ask,\u201d she said. 17\u201cAsk King Solomon\u2014he won\u2019t turn you down\u2014to give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife.\u201d 18\u201cCertainly,\u201d said Bathsheba. \u201cI\u2019ll speak to the king for you.\u201d 19Bathsheba went to King Solomon to present Adonijah\u2019s request. The king got up and welcomed her, bowing respectfully, and returned to his throne. Then he had a throne put in place for his mother, and she sat at his right hand. 20She said, \u201cI have a small favor to ask of you. Don\u2019t refuse me.\u201d Proverbs 22:4 True humility and fear of the LORD lead to riches, honor, and long life <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbDloX2w2TDB1VDBoRnBLZkJvdkR6S1ZZdWU1d3xBQ3Jtc0ttTlI4emdwSFNBRF8zM3RiUmhwaU9QMk84M0Q0S2dDN3hTYWlYTjFOZXR6VEdPWldyLWJDRG4wWTNuYXlFOWNnR0x2ZllFem96MW5Ubm5zR2NiVU9yLUpmVm9Nbm85b2JWSGh6SFNwRUpBRDBDVDB6dw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Ftemtube.com%2F&amp;v=39vDSwv-Y0A\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/temtube.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 kings 2 When David\u2019s time to die approached, he charged his son Solomon, saying, \u201cI\u2019m about to go the way of all the earth, but you\u2014be strong; show what you\u2019re made of!
