David’s Parting Words before Death. 1 As David’s death drew near, he instructed Solomon, his son, saying, 2 “I am going the way of all upon the earth. Be strong, and show yourself to be a man. 3 [a]Observe the ordinances of the Lord, your God, walking in his ways and keeping his statutes, his commandments, his ordinances, and what he witnessed in writing in the law of Moses. In this way you will prosper in whatever you do and wherever you go.
