SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:4
para que confirme el SEÑOR la palabra que me habló, diciendo: Si tus hijos guardaren su camino, andando delante de mí con verdad, de todo su corazón, y de toda su alma, jamás, dice, faltará a ti varón del trono de Israel.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 2:4
Verse 4. That the Lord may continue his word] The prosperity which God has promised to grant to my family will depend on their faithfulness to the good they receive; if they live to God, they shall sit for ever on the throne of Israel. But alas! they did not; and God's justice cut off the entail made by his mercy.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-4 - David's charge to Solomon is, to keep the charge of the Lord. The authority of a dying father is much, but nothing to that of a livin God. God promised David that the Messiah should come from his descendants, and that promise was absolute; but the promise, that ther should not fail of them a man on the throne of Israel, was conditional if he walks before God in sincerity, with zeal and resolution: in orde hereunto, he must take heed to his way. (1Ki 2:5-11)
